TVM research and other stuff
Other stuff first, have you noticed on all the talk pages that the Edit button has disappeared? I thought it might be a result of using the archive tool (as yours and my edit pages lack it), but other users' talk pages are exhibiting the same issues. Not even Control-E (keyboard shortcut for editing) could get me here, I eventually added Edit to the customisable bar in order to post this.

Have I done any TVM research? I moved the production stuff to a separate sub-page because it was overly long and needed referencing and copy editing. I've recently found my copy of Doctor Who: Regeneration and have been trying to get around to having another read through to write the production page out correctly. It's one of those pages that needs a fair amount of work and time to correctly source everything. I've added both the Sax and the TVM/Production to my followed pages and will hopefully get to Sax article when I concentrate on the TVM production. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:27, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

Wales crew
No idea when you did it, but thanks for updating the Wales crew stuff. -- Tybort 08:59, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Different versions of files
I seem to recall you deleting various in between versions of files because having a large number of versions of the same file would slow down the load time? (Or am I mis-remembering?). I bring this up as BroadcastCorp., has been going down this path with the Comics template on the main page see File:Dwm.jpg, File:Dwa.jpg, File:Twm.jpg. The only issues I have with it is; at some point their file histories are going to get gigantic, uploading a new cover sort of ignores the idea of 'a different version' (which I suppose it is technically a different version as the file name is very generic), at any one time we'll have two different uploads of the cover 1 for the template and 1 for the article(s). On the flip side having these basically named file names means updating is simpler, but, I dunno, it just seems a slightly backwards way of doing things, considering we'll always need an uploaded version of the covers. I'd appreciate any thoughts you've got on it (or am I just getting annoyed by nothing?). --Tangerineduel / talk 16:17, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Wales crew glitch.
Okay, I'm sure you're just tinkering around still, but the Production staff box of the Wales crew template has glitched out with an "{{#if:" showing next to the first credit.

Also, I think you can infer which version of the credits I'm using by the day I add them. -- Tybort 23:05, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguate DW: Tooth and Claw.
Works pages are protected from moving, right? Well, there's another work called "Tooth and Claw", so I guess we have to disambiguate this one into Tooth and Claw (TV story) using one of your bots to undo the protection for a time. -- Tybort (talk page) 11:47, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, are you able to edit Template:DWTV to make the change? -- Tybort (talk page) 12:57, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

I think he means, will your bot change the links from Tooth and Claw to the disambiguated form.-- 13:06, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

It'll take a while, no question, but yes they should be all moved. All story pages are equal etc. etc. -- Tybort (talk page) 14:04, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I had no change the link, I thought that User:Tybort was going to take care of it via his comments on the talk page. I only moved it since he had asked for it to be moved and was unable to do it himself. MM/ Want to talk? 14:05, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I hadn't known about the bot. Though considering I'd been doing edits on top of manually changing Tooth and Claw to Tooth and Claw, I wouldn't consider it a waste. Pretty good timing to tell me about this, as I was about to take a break. -- Tybort (talk page) 17:45, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't intentionally changing the links, they were pages I have just created. Anyway, it's a complete mess, I told Tybort to ask you to loose the bot, but I don't think he understood. I think it's safe to do so now. I assumed the user who moved the page would take responsibility for the links as that's what I do, but whatever. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.-- 19:18, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Sure thing. I just finished the Albert article but I can stick it on a word document and publish it tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. On an unrelated note, can you see my comments on chat as I don't think it's working for me?-- 19:31, July 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's great. As for crazy links, they're all over the place. Ghost Light had a "See Also" section with just a link to Tooth and Claw, the link probably being that they're both Victorian, which is ridiculous. Thanks for making the switch.-- 10:49, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

new image categories please
Hi, been really busy this last 10 weeks at work so playing catchup. Could you add as drop down categories under copyright magazines the following 'Radio Times', 'Doctor Who Insider' and 'Doctor Who: Monster Invasion'. Its possible I've asked before, I know I've asked someone! Anyway, much appreciated. Thanks The Librarian 16:24, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

The Master main image
That Top Ten list isn't really catching on, sorry about that. No one is really paying much attention. We should revert to the old, original poll, not the new and fancy one. BroadcastCorp. 19:27, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Zamper
Not sure if you can do this, but if you get a moment, can your bot switch the links of Zamper and Zamper (planet) so that the novel is disambiguated (and the planet is not). Thanks-- 19:49, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Ta. Not a big fan of the "always disambiguate" thing. However, the fact that Inferno should be disambiguated is annoying and sort of sways me. Anyway, thanks again.-- 21:19, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Spam protection filter?
Almost every time I try to save an edit, it comes up with this:



I am definitely not comitting any spam to this website, I assure you, so why this is coming up, I have no idea. BroadcastCorp. 10:47, July 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * A spambot was hitting Wikia really hard and a number of people ended up getting that result. It's also pointed to a bug in the wiki code that the techs are working to fix at the moment. -- sulfur 11:59, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki background
I like the new wiki-background. Really promotes the wiki really well. But look at the top of Captain Jack's head. The are three completely different kayer on top of him, which, frankly, is ugly. I have managed to get rid of those layers on top of his head, to a nice smooth layout: Here: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/File:Wiki-background-submission.png. Tell me what you think! BroadcastCorp. 11:07, July 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Are you still thinking about it? BroadcastCorp. 19:39, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Dwm.jpg and Dwa.jpg
You may now delete these files. BroadcastCorp 07:18, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Use your bot
Can you use you bot (CzechBot) to rename every meantion of "BroadcastCorp." to "BroadcastCorp". Thanks. BroadcastCorp 07:26, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Featured articles (again)
Morning, could you take a peak at User:Skittles the hog/Sandbox two, where I have created a version of Tardis:Feature Article nominations that you may approve of. I know your not a fan of the current system so any feedback would be great.-- 08:21, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Utopia (TV story) as the next featured article?
Do you think this could be the featured article next month? Would you vote for it? It has all the qualities a featured article could have. BroadcastCorp 15:19, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
