User talk:OncomingStorm12th

'''Welcome to the Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first. British English, please We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card. Spoilers aren't cool We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details. Other useful stuff Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
 * the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
 * our Manual of Style
 * our image use policy
 * our user page policy
 * a list of people whose job it is to help you

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. Skittles the hog ☎  21:30, November 1, 2014 (UTC)

Images and perspective
Thank you for your recent image additions. Unfortunately, I had to remove many of them because they violated our policy on image perspective. Specifically, out-of-universe promotional images and concept art can't go on in-universe pages. Please read through that policy for a better understanding. Thanks! 23:33, January 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi again. I had to delete many of the images you recently uploaded from The Celestial Toymaker, because they were watermarked from the website where you found them. In general, we don't use images from other websites, instead preferring screenshots taken from stories, because it's easier to verify that they aren't promotional images and avoids things like these watermarks.


 * Also, many of them were too big. We try to keep images under 100 kb. Thanks! 03:55, January 30, 2016 (UTC)

Your input would be nice
Hello OncomingStorm12th, I understand that you are one of the driving forces behind DWLegacy wikia. Your input at the Legacy inclusion debate would be nice. Three heads are better than two. The Champion of Time   ☎  01:51, March 10, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reverting the vandalism to File:TardisQuizGraphic.jpg. Sorry you had to see that awful image. The file has been protected and the user banned. 23:34, May 15, 2016 (UTC)

It's ok. I only hope that not much people have seen it as well (and that whoever did it won't simply create another account and do stuff like that again) OncomingStorm12th ☎  00:16, May 16, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for all the Pictures!
Hi OncomingStorm12th, is it okay if you could add Category:The Fourth Wall comic story images to all the pictures you just uploaded from that story? Could you also rewrite Natalie (The Fourth Wall) in past tense and refer to the Twelfth Doctor as "the Twelfth Doctor". C o T    ☎  20:53, May 26, 2016 (UTC)

POT and forums
Hey, I tried posting your message on the forum post, but it didn't work (twice). Weirdly, a test message did work. I'll keep at it, and if it continues to fail to work, I'll get in touch with User:CzechOut. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  01:19, July 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * If I can chime in here, I think your message is triggering the "no shouting" filter. Try posting it without the all caps words.

Re: speedy renames
Hi! If you'll notice, the speedy rename tag does allow for moving the links.

It goes like this:
 * new= the new page name
 * links= yes if you changed the links, no if you didn't
 * user= your user name

If you change the links yourself, it's more likely the page will be renamed by an admin sooner. However, if it seems that no one has moved the page after some time, you can ask me (I won't speak for the other admins) to do it. I check the list when I can, but sometimes I don't get to it when I've got other things going. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  23:59, July 11, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Legacy characters
Hi! I don't really feel comfortable answering that question, because I am not familiar with the game. It's probably better to ask User:CzechOut. Sorry for the inconvenience! Shambala108 ☎  04:01, July 21, 2016 (UTC)

Classic Doctors, New Monsters
As the template text on says, it's intended for "obvious, non-controversial errors". This is not one of those cases. Is it "1" or "01" (from the website) or "One" (from the cover)? Should there be a colon before the volume number, a la The First Doctor: Volume One (audio anthology)? I'm not questioning the need for a rename, merely switching to the more appropriate template. The Churchill Years should also have a regular rename, I'll fix that. 17:55, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Rockefeller Center image
Hi! I understand why you're changing my images in general and know which policy you're following. I many cases, your ideas of picture composition are better than mine. But for the Rockefeller Center, this image should not be used because this is not the Rockefeller Center. This is the apartment building on the Upper East Side where Dorothy Bell lives. Note that neither Cindy Wu nor Gabby Gonzalez came to the Rockefeller Center. Note also that the subway station and the street sign a couple of panels before this put this place at roughly 96th Street and [Lexi]ngton Avenue, which is very far from the actual position of the Rockefeller Center (which is not stated in the DWU yet, to the best of my knowledge).

I did try to find a widescreen image but failed. The only other idea I had was the image from the top-right corner of p. 8 of issue 11. But it shows the lower part of the building, which is too generic, even with the art-nouveau elements. From that image, this landmark would be totally unrecognisable. Amorkuz ☎  19:22, August 25, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry, you apparently saw that before me. For some reason I only got a notification about the first change, but not the second. Amorkuz ☎  19:25, August 25, 2016 (UTC)

Section links
Legacy (video game) will take you directly to that section. , always. :) 21:54, September 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah. Don't overuse this trick, but you can add and then what you want to display, so it'll end up being:
 * Thanks for letting me know. That should be fixed now. 22:47, September 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, and in the meantime, P&P goes ahead and makes a redirect. Still fixed, though. 22:49, September 7, 2016 (UTC)

POT pages
'Salright. Thanks for putting in the work that you have. Those pictures will be much appreciated when we make separate pages for the comic stories, so keep on keepin' on. :) 02:27, September 13, 2016 (UTC)

Prisoners of Time
I was planning on changing the links first, then moving the pages over the redirects. The redirects just make sure the links are still functional before the pages are moved. If you have enough familiarity with the stories, you can help change links at Special:WhatLinksHere/Prisoners of Time (comic story). 13:52, September 13, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Class (series 1) page
Because of two reasons.


 * Number 1) Because this Wikia do not consider "doctorwho.tv" as a valid source. Personally, I couldn't agree with you more on that. But this Wikia does not. For that reason, you'll have to find another source, one that this Wikia consider valid. Uneditable and not fan-created.
 * Number 2) The information should not be included on the Series 1 (Class)-page. That page is solely for information regarding Series 1. Do instead add the information on the Class (TV series)-page. That page is for all information regarding the spin-off, no matter the medium. Thank you. :) --DCLM ☎  18:46, September 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Check out "Template:S9 instructions". Specifically -->> Under no circumstance should information be added here which is derived from some fan's blog, a Gallifrey Base thread, or even a slick-looking news site like doctorwhotv.co.uk, which is actually just a fan site. --DCLM ☎  19:06, September 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Seems like I made a mistake. I got them mixed up as being the same one. I apologize for that. But my second point still stands. It belong on the "Class (TV series)" page, not "Series 1 (Class)". Thanks. --DCLM ☎  19:20, September 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Reason for that is that the stories are set during the series in question. We don't know anything about these new books except for name. They could be set at a completely different time for what we know. --DCLM ☎  19:34, September 13, 2016 (UTC)

Comic image categories
Thanks for all your help with the POT stuff. Just a reminder when creating comic story image categories: they should have and  placed on the category pages. Thanks! 21:27, September 13, 2016 (UTC)

Character identities
Hey. In regards to your POT edits, you shouldn't pipe switch a character's identity away, like you did with Adam Mitchell. Information from later stories can and should be integrated into earlier story articles. It would be incorrect to not mention the lady in the garden is the Master on the page for Deep Breath, for example, or for the And You Will Obey Me article to omit the reveal from The Two Masters. 03:26, September 24, 2016 (UTC)

The Whispering Gallery
T:MAGS sets out guidelines for naming and numbering articles for publications with multiple issues, which is not this situation. There is absolutely no reason a one-shot comic needs two separate pages. 04:00, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

The American Adventures
It's been out a while mate, people have been talking about it on the forums for a while. I've just checked Amazon and the Kindle version is available now, and the release date was 6 Oct. I've restored the page for you. --Revan\Talk 16:32, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Plagiarism
Basically, we only want original content on the wiki. That means we don't copy from anywhere, BBC or otherwise. Shambala108 ☎  00:04, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Links
Hi pal, would you be able to direct me to which links were not removed on the 2015 BBC Christmas ident. Thanks 😊 DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  07:29, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Bots
I've got a bot, you know, and I tend to be more active lately than user:CzechOut. If you have any more bot requests, your best bet is to come to me. In case you're wondering, though, I already fixed the April links anyway. 11:44, October 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, his name is SV7. You'll see him around on page histories a lot. :) 15:28, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Hello
Thanks for the help pal, as a favour, would you be able to tell me the remaining pages which need the link removing from, best wishes. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  16:27, October 24, 2016 (UTC)

Judoon redirect
I apologise. That problem you report was entirely in error, as I somehow managed to misspell "Nineteenth". I assure you that is not what normally happens when you retain a redirect? That was a double redirect, with the final destination at the wrong title.

To answer your original question, though, I kept the redirect because "19th" is just as valid to search under if you were trying to find it. We want people to be able to find the page. 00:58, October 25, 2016 (UTC)

Infobox Merchandise
The infobox you seek doesn't exist (yet). I will gladly create one if you can give me a list of the parameters such an infobox will need. 00:20, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Forgot to tell you. She's all yours: Template:Infobox Merchandise. Let me know if you want anything else added. 01:01, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Took me forever to find the place to add the new preload, but it's there now. You should be seeing it pop up in standard preloads soon. Also, absolutely exists. 01:49, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * Clear your cache, and it'll be there. 01:50, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * K.O. I've added that one as well. 02:26, October 26, 2016 (UTC)
 * I added three  variables and one  . I personally think three might be a bit excessive, but it's what you asked for. 03:55, October 29, 2016 (UTC)

Infobox Company
My, you're really into infoboxes these days, aren't you? No, there is not currently such an infobox, but I'll late you know when it's created. 21:30, November 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * There you go:
 * I've done one on Big Finish Productions to give you an idea of how it looks filled out.
 * Some parameters to point out:
 * founding date =
 * closure date =
 * series = main series
 * ranges = main ranges, if applicable (mostly BF; possibly only BF)
 * products = this is merchandise; ie. not stories
 * time =
 * non dwu = notable stuff they've done outside of the DWU; just like in Infobox Person
 * official site/twitter/youtube/soundcloud = all work like in Infobox Person
 * trailer = two of these; these are advertisements
 * clip = three of these; these are interviews
 * PS. This cannot go on LEGO unless a specifically real world counterpart is ever created. LEGO is an in-universe article, and will stay that way. But if you wouldn't mind updating the last paragraph in the BTS section, that would be great. 22:33, November 9, 2016 (UTC)
