Spoiler policy
Hi! I suggest you take the time to read Tardis:Spoiler policy. As you'll see, cast and crew announcements do count as spoilers. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  21:24, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Oh! Sorry, I probably should have read that first.

Red Links
Please do not remove red links from pages, they will be filled in eventually, and helps the wiki grow. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 15:28, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

broken links
Hi again! You've been doing some great cleanup edits here - that's how I started and it's a great way to learn your way around the wiki. But you've removed some "broken" links, and as explained in Tardis:Redlinks, those links are actually future pages to be created. Some links can be removed, for example a few months ago a bunch of pictures were wiped from the wiki because they don't meet image standards, so there are a lot of broken links to images. But characters in novels, comics, etc are wiki-fied (if that's a word) so that the pages can be created in the future. Take a look at the link I provided and it will help. Thanks and keep up the great work! Shambala108 ☎  15:30, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

Oh...Now that makes sense. It means that if someone makes one of those pages, it will be auto linked. Thanks!

Categories and other edits
Hi. Please look around at our category structure and pages before adding pages. The categories on Tiger have been removed for several reasons. Firstly all our categories which don't have proper nouns in them are lower case (aside from the first word after not Category:Earth Mammals.

Also to note, if this were another article that were not involved in the Game of Rassilon the Earth Mammals category would not even need to be present on the article.

This is because the Category:Tigers category is a sub-category of Category:Earth mammals and therefore is already in that category and does not need to be added to page.

To frame this with an article whose category is not part of the Game of Rassilon take a look at Psyche Dalek Three it is in the Category:Individual Daleks, that category is a sub-category of the Category:Individuals by species category, which itself is a sub-category of Category:Individuals, which means all the articles in those sub-categories are in the Category:Individuals category. The only articles in the Category:Individuals category are those that have failed to be categorised into sub-categories. Thanks, feel free to ask any further questions. --Tangerineduel / talk 02:12, September 15, 2012 (UTC)

Prefixes
Prefixes have undergone a major change across the wiki; these 'mistakes' are not a wiki-wide pandemic. Please read Forum:Prefix simplification which will brief you on the change as well as showing the proposal that lead to it.-- 18:50, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Is there any chance of returning the TW, DW, SJA, KAC, and K9TV prefixes? I find it really hard to figure out whether a specific story is TW or SJA especially, since DW, SJA, and TW all have really similar names.


 * Unfortunately, no. I also preferred the old method, but hey, you work with what you've got. On another note, it's usually better if you reply to a talk page message on the sender's own talk page, that way they're notified when the recipient has replied. It's just better. Thanks for your understanding-- 19:34, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

Earth mammals
Susan is an individual. The Earth mammals category is for species, not individuals. Susan is not a species, therefore the page doesn't belong in that category. Also, the names of badges are usually just named to be clever in-jokes to give them some personality. You shouldn't take them that literally. Memnarc ☎  07:46, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Regarding Rose (Rise of the Cybermen), I removed the Earth Mammals category from the page and you undid my edit, adding it back. Memnarc ☎  21:01, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

That was a while ago. My recent undo was not of an edit of yours, but of an anon who said Rose (Rise of the Cybermen) was a time traveler. Cult Of Skaro ☎  22:03, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

Action figures
Thanks so much for your recent work improving our coverage of action figures. If you see me occasionally delete pictures, it's because they might violate local policies like T:ICC or T:GTI — not because your work is being dismissed. 19:25: Sat 22 Sep 2012

K9
Yes and yes. Both pages already have the category on the page. K9 appeared in the episode, so it is a 'K9 television episode'. There was no reason to remove it, unless you forgot about K9, albeit, brief appearance. Also, please rememeber to sign you post with the four tildes ( ~ ). Many thanks.

Game of Rassilon
Just saw your message in chat. Sorry I wasn't there to read it while you were still around. Yes, funky things are afoot with the Game of Rassilon. Please see Forum:Game of Rassilon errors. Since the code for the game is not accessible at the local level, we just have to wait for Wikia to fix it. I haven't seen exactly the error you're describing — i can certainly see how many people have earned a specific badge, and I can look at all my badges — but the Engineering department is working on the errors in the badge display area of user pages. It's possible you saw them apply a temporary fix that then got reverted. 13:30: Tue 25 Sep 2012

Series 7 writers
I removed it because you over wikified. Per section, you should only link to an article once. The edit you did added more than one link to Steven Moffat, Nick Hurran etc, which was not needed. MM/ Want to talk? 19:52, September 26, 2012 (UTC)

Image licensing
Heya :) Thanks again for all your work with the action figures. However, please remember that you must include the image license of  with every upload of a toy or other merchandise.

Of the 50 or so images currently without licenses, your name is attached to about 48 of them. So please remember to take that extra little step of identifying the copyright situation of the image, or you may find your images get summarily deleted.

Don't worry about the current images without licenses. I'll add the template for this lot only. After this, the bot will simply delete pictures that are unlicensed. Thanks :) 00:22: Fri 28 Sep 2012

Blogs
Blogs are not offered by this wiki. 17:39: Fri 28 Sep 2012
 * Some parts of what we call locally the "Game of Rassilon" – but which is known throughout Wikia as "Achievements" — are standard to every Wikia wiki. That is, there are some badges over which we, locally, have very little control.  One of these "default" badges is the one pertaining to blog posts.  If we could hide it, we would hide it.  The best we can probably do is just change the text on it so it's clearer that it's unwinnable.  17:53: Fri 28 Sep 2012

Stubs
Please do not add stubs to a page by adding please use a template. Look in Category:Stub templates for a list. To place a stub from that list on a page ignore the "template" portion of the name and type for example. Make sure to select the appropriate stub tag for the page. Only use when you can't find a more specific stub tag to use. Using a template adds a graphic to the side of the article alerting people to the fact that the page is a stub. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 02:24, October 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Your relatively recent (in the last month) edit to David Roden on the 8th October history link here your added a stub, as I indicated above by adding the category rather than using the template system. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:22, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Dapol
Galleries are basically avoided here. They take up too much space and make an article look bad. It's better to just not include the photos or to space them out over the page. The bigger the gallery is, the more the hastle. Look, the gallery at Dapol is perfect, all the pictures that should be there are there, it's done. So please just leave the gallery alone and go find another page to contribute to. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 00:19, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Nah, that would be even worse. The thumbnail size would be way too small. Plus packaging doesen't really matter that much here. Look at the images at Character Options pages, like Character_Options_series_1_action_figures and note the lack of packaging images. The packaging for the action figures of the series were rather boring and uniteresting, the same for each one. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 00:29, November 17, 2012 (UTC)
