Missing videos
Hey, sorry to bother but I see that you're uploading some videos. If you're not too busy, could you please upload some missing videos which I recommended over at Tardis_talk:Video_recommendations? Thanks in advance Flabshoe1 ☎  19:39, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

So, thank you for taking the time to do the Oxygen TV trailer. Could you also find the time to the rest of the missing videos? This is something I would do on my own, but obviously I can't so I need your help. Thanks! Flabshoe1 ☎  19:56, May 13, 2017 (UTC)

Coal Hill entrance hall
Hey, back in November, I added an infobox for Coal Hill entrance hall, and you later removed because your intention was to have an image of it back on TV: Remembrance of the Daleks and how it looked now, on TV: For Tonight We Might Die. I'm ok with that, and even agree the idea is good. But what do you think of this: the infobox comes back and we make the images go to the left of the page. This way, we can keep an infobox on the page, and also the two images.

Furthermore, there is a third image (File:Quill and Armitage.jpg) on the page. This could perhaps be the infobox image. OncomingStorm12th ☎  21:28, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

Infobox Anatomy and Events
Ok, so according to Special:Insights/nonportableinfoboxes, CzechOut has finished making the infoboxes portable. As you asked me to do, I'm giving you a heads up about this, in case you've got the time to do the new infoboxes. OncomingStorm12th ☎  21:56, May 24, 2017 (UTC)

Brotherhood
Hey SOTO. Could you please delete Brotherhood? Currently, it points to Brotherhood of the Immanent Flesh, but it should be kept for the concept of a brotherhood, and an overview of brotherhoods. Oh, and the only link that existis for it is on a sandbox. OncomingStorm12th ☎  01:57, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops, I was holding off on creating Brotherhood (disambiguation) until broterhood was a redlink, but published it accidentally. Anyway, now there's also a link to it on the dab page. OncomingStorm12th ☎  01:59, June 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the redlink; and about the profile pic, it's like they say: Times change, and so must I. OncomingStorm12th ☎  02:08, June 6, 2017 (UTC)

Trick story name
Hey, today Big Finish released torchwood_cascade_CDRIP.tor, a story with the trickiest name I've ever came across. I made the page under the closest name to the one on the cover, and added a on the top of it, to make it exaclty like on the cover.

However, when I went to add the cast list, I realised it'd be extremely hard to make the dabbing for this story. On the trailer for this story, Nicholas Briggs simply refers to it as Cascade (which is the same as "torchwood_cascade_CDRIP.tor" if you remove the tricky-stuff). I was wondering if perhaps it'd be fine to actually name the page Cascade (audio story), use the retitle, and use Cascade as the dab term for the characters in this story. IMO, using "torchwood_cascade_CDRIP.tor" would be terrible, because it's too long. OncomingStorm12th ☎  22:07, June 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, after User:PicassoAndPringles edited the page a bit, I realised it wasn't as tricky as I first thought. The trick can also be done to Stephen (torchwood cascade CDRIP.tor), Max (torchwood cascade CDRIP.tor) and Nikki (torchwood cascade CDRIP.tor), once these pages are created. Perhaps, a simple redirect from Cascade (audio story) to Torchwood cascade CDRIP.tor (audio story) will sufice. But thanks for looking into it anyway ;) .

A bit scared
I've added the new episode for the Twelfth Doctor's, Bill's, Nardole's, the Master's and the Ice Warrior's list of appearances, but I remembered about the spoiler policy. I thought it'd be fine because Revanvolatrelundar added as well as other non-admins but now I'm not sure if it's the correct time? Am I allowed to, and I hope that if I'm not I won't get punished too greatly.

Thank you and I apologise if it was the wrong thing to do. StevieGLiverpool ☎  19:22, June 10, 2017 (UTC)

P.S- The time wasn't actually 19:22, my timing on this computer is bugged but it's actually 20:22 when I messaged, as the page histories should probably prove. Thanks again.


 * Thank you for being kind, I won't break the rule again, or at least try really hard! ;) StevieGLiverpool ☎  20:41, June 10, 2017 (UTC)

Fact checking for other wiki
Hi, I'm an admin on the Old School RuneScape wiki, and someone recently made a trivia edit that I wanted to fact check over here. I chose you because you were the first coloured name in the recent changes list, so sorry if I'm putting you on the spot :P

Its been a long while since I've watched doctor who, and frankly your wiki's layout is alien to me (pun not intended) - So I wanted to verify with a real person.

Anyway, someone added an anecdote about the Slitheen, and about how a quest from 2006 may have been referencing them, but I'm pretty sure the Slitheen weren't introduced until sometime during 2009. Am I dead wrong? Your infoboxes are weird. Thanks and take care! --— Scuzzy Beta (talk) 20:41, June 11, 2017 (UTC)

The Black Archive navbox
Hey, I started making pages for The Black Archive and thought that a navbox would be useful (as there are already 11 books, and plans for a lot more). I don't know if non-admins are even allowed to properly make these, so I made one in my sandbox. When you have the time, could you check it up (and see if there's any coding stuff I missed). If there's nothing missing, could you implement it? Thanks. OncomingStorm12th ☎  00:51, June 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I got a bit stuck on the name. TBA does look like it stands for "to be added" or something like that. Do you have any suggestions? OncomingStorm12th ☎  01:16, June 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm.. you're right. Usually, it's good to have a shorter name, but I don't think there's a good one in this case. If you could create the template, I'd be really glad (not 100% sure how to do it, so I rather hold back on doing it for now). :) OncomingStorm12th ☎  01:23, June 27, 2017 (UTC)

Links to YouTube channels
Hey SOTO. I was revisiting the BBC Three page and tried linking to their YouTube channel. I managed to do so with the template (adding "bbcthree" there). However, doing so in the infobox links to "/user/bbcthree", which isn't a proper link to their channel.

There is also another way to get to BBC Three: "/channel/UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ", but is also doesn't work for the infobox. Is there some trick to make the link work on the infobox? OncomingStorm12th ☎  18:13, July 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hey again. I'm so, so sorry, but I'm a pudding brain and I could not make it work. I tried using:

and Rassilon knows how many other variations, but I couldn't get it to display the link on the Infobox. I must be making a very simple mistake, but I can't quite see what. OncomingStorm12th ☎  20:39, July 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * youtube       = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ
 * youtube channel = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ
 * youtubechannel = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ
 * channel       = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ
 * YouTube channel = UCcjoLhqu3nyOFmdqF17LeBQ
 * Oh, nice change. Almost went mad for a second back thre :p. Thanks as always SOTO. OncomingStorm12th ☎  20:56, July 6, 2017 (UTC)

Greetings
I am new to this wiki and want to make sure I start off good. Primarily, would you mind directing me to your policy pages? Or if possible, briefly summarizing the important ones?

I primarily hope to fill in events on the various timeline pages. The Everlasting ☎  01:03, July 13, 2017 (UTC)

Recent video uploaded
Hey SOTO. You recently uploaded File:LGBTQ In The Worlds Of Doctor Who - Doctor Who The Fan Show. While the subject of the video doesn't contain any spoilers, there's a small discussion about stuff from Series 11 (Doctor Who) crew (around 19:49). I realise is really quick, and I really wanted to add it to Bethany Black, Waris Hussein and bts in sexuality, but I remembered that spoiler-ish bit, and took it of. Just popped by to give you this heads-up in case you did not watch it before uploading (or, like me, already knew the spoiler and forgot that it even was a spoiler). OncomingStorm12th ☎  21:27, July 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * I. Know. Right? I have to admit I wasn't a big fan of the Fan Show. Watched first few episodes back when it started, and found them so cringy I gave up on them. However, I caught myself watching some of the most recent ones, and I am so loving it now, this one above all. Hope the video can stay (I really hope we won't need to hold this 23min beauty because of a 12 seconds line, but oh well). The only thing which disappointed me a bit was the extreme focus on the TV media. OncomingStorm12th ☎  04:11, July 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh what a 23min piece of gold we have then. I have not quite got around the 7/Benny/Ace stuff on books (actually, almost no book-stuff at all), but The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield and The Triumph of Sutekh got me excited enough. Hope there's a part 2 on this subject, focusing on non-TV media (I mean, they didn't even mention Luke Smith and how they planned to reveal he liked men, or even Charlie and Matteusz. Anyway, I'm sure there are some pages to benefit from this video in the near future: Bethany Black, Waris Hussein and sexuality. OncomingStorm12th ☎  04:28, July 30, 2017 (UTC)

Note on Cat:Individual Time Lords
Hey there! I asked Shambala108 about a change I wanted to make, but she hasn't gotten back to me, so I figured I'd run it past you instead. On Category:Individual Time Lords, there's a note from 2012 saying
 * "Individual Time Lords cannot be a subcategory of Category:Individual Gallifreyans, or vice versa. Such arrangement creates bot-stopping recursion. From a purely practical standpoint, the two categories need to be merged for the smooth operation of the wiki."

I'm thinking of modifying this note to remove the merger suggestion. Besides the bot, there are plenty of other reasons why someone shouldn't put Cat:Individual Gallifreyans in Cat:Individual Time Lords, or vice versa; namely, there are several non-Gallifreyan Time Lords, and there are also several non-Time Lord Gallifreyans, like I.M. Foreman and the Outsiders. This is also a strong argument against merging the two categories, hence why no editor over the last 5 years has followed the note's suggestion. What would you think of me removing that part of the note? NateBumber ☎  00:36, August 14, 2017 (UTC)

Template:Masterpic proposal
Hi. I listed a proposal to correct Template:Masterpic back in July. Please note that I listed it on The Master's talk page as opposed to the template's own talk page as I had hoped that it would receive more traffic on an active talk page. As there have been no contributions as of yet, I was wondering if you would like to give your opinion on the proposed corrections? Thanks. NickM98 ☎  08:25, August 26, 2017 (UTC)

Spoilers
Hi! I noticed you uploaded this video. It contains references to the gender of a future Doctor and was just wondering if you were aware of this when you uploaded it. --Borisashton ☎  16:10, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

Overview categories
Hmm, what you said made a lot of sense. When I started placing them in "audio overviews", I though: (using Category:Gallifrey audio series as example) if a user comes here, they will be able to get a view of all series/seasons of this range, as well as their respective stories, and, if they exist, box sets collecting them. They would also be able to see which voice actors were present in it (and, as pointed out/suggested on Category talk:Category:The True History of Faction Paradox writers, writers and directors). OncomingStorm12th ☎  22:34, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you're right about the pages being on "audio overviews"; only the pages should remain there, and re-arrange the rest of the category tree.
 * Category:Audio stories by range or series seems a good counterpart to Category:Television stories by season / series.
 * Perhaps we could create Category:Big Finish Doctor Who audio series, which could be a meta-category for all series from Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories. This way, the category tree remains more or less unchanged, just switching "audio overviews" with this (or, when necessary, Category:Big Finish audio spin-off series)
 * PS: Sorry if anything ended up unclear; I feel like this tends to happen when I write too much . OncomingStorm12th ☎  23:53, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
