Temporary admin
I defer to you knowledge with regard to tech related issues. I'm sporadically on the Community Wiki. As long as it is only a temporary adminship position to assist with the re-colourisation process. Thanks for keeping me informed. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:42, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

Video needing posting
So there's a behind the scenes video for A Big Hand for the Doctor (short story). I can't post it myself, because I think you once told me that that was an admin's job; and I can't link to it, because of our rule on linking youtube on pages. All I can do is tell you that it's called "Eoin Colfer Doctor Who eBook - A Big Hand for the Doctor". OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 16:19, January 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, 86.151.81.144 is a vandal. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 00:08, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

I can't help but notice you ignored my first post -- It was slightly confusing, so I'm gonna try it in a different way.

"I want to add a behind-the-scenes video to a page, how do I go-about doing that?" OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:12, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Okay, so I'm gonna ask a third time... How do I add a video to an infobox? OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:53, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Message Wall
Hey Czech. I've recently noticed that when someone has posted on the forums and it appears on the activity feed, when you click on their name under the forum name it takes you to their message wall instead of their talk page.

I know it maybe not be anything major, but would it not seem at bit more handier and sensible for it to go to their talk page instead? MM/ Want to talk? 01:19, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Videos
I don't often check videos' file usage information. Videos wise I usually only check to make sure they're valid and that they're in keeping with our Video policy. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:25, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

No reason
Accident caused by the ranaming of the page Volva to Mercedes. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:39, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * No, I thought I had with the discovering of a Volvo logo, but it was actually a Mercedes logo. I cleaned up my mess. Only one link I had to change. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:06, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Image Size
Okay, I'll get to it. Do you have a list of my uploaded image, perchance? Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 18:55, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, good point. Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 19:01, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * All images fixed. Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 19:27, January 28, 2013 (UTC)

Variable suggestion
I suggest we add a "Other Doctors" or perhaps "Doctors" variable to Template:Infobox Story. This is useful not only for Multi-Doctor stories but also for stories that don't really have one "main" Doctor, like Prisoners of Time or The Sirens of Time, all of which don't really feature one "main" Doctor. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 03:32, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, like I said before, for one it's great for stories that don't really have a "main" Doctor. Also I should note that Multi-Doctor stories aften get rather cluttered "featuring" boxes due to the half-a-dozen charactors that usually appear. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 04:55, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * The Sirens of Time (audio story), Destiny of the Doctors (video game), Heart of TARDIS (novel), Peri and the Piscon Paradox (audio story), The Four Doctors (audio story); and any other stories that do not feature any main "Doctor"; as well as just any Multi-Doctor story. Note the yellow triangle on each of these pages means that whatever was done to put multiple variables in the 'Doctor' is breaking the template.

Re:Source Check
The names come from Doomsday, they are refered to as "Cyber Units Ten-Six-Five and Ten-Six-Six" by the Cybermen, just before the confrontation. --MrThermomanPreacher ☎  22:40, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * It was while Dr. Singh had his brain waves extracted by the Cult of Skaro. There are transcripts of this episode online. --MrThermomanPreacher ☎  22:58, January 30, 2013 (UTC)

OverAnalyser edits
Argh! I thought they were told, warned, threatened by you and me and learnt what to do and what not to do. Not to sound lazy, but wouldn't it be easier just to rollback / delete all their edits as their information falls into the N:RW category? Though I will of course begin a comb through as try to thin it down, rollback and undo whatever he, she, they have done thus far. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:30, January 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Not quite a fine toothed comb, but I have gone through all OA's article edits and edited out everything that looked suspect or questionable. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:34, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Big Finish covers
Evelyn Smyth's current image is a picture from a comic strip, which doesn't give a very good idea of Evelyn's appearance. I tried to replace this image with a nice clear photo of her from the cover of A Town Called Fortune, but the edit was reverted by Ottelspy, who said that we can't use Big Finish covers to illustrate characters. I feel like a casual user would much rather see the photo than the drawing. What exactly is this wiki's stance on BF covers? Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 04:57, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Dates and Tenses
Okay. Thank you for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed that. That is now added to my list of things to fix in date articles. Also, can you please join me at the forum I started to state your personal opinions on all my suggestions (some of which were actually yours anyways)? No one's really responded yet and your input is needed. Thanks. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  20:49, February 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, I checked the page and the only verb in present tense was in the lead. (I mostly just moved the original sentence and made it into a full sentence - I need to check for these mistakes next time). Is this what you're referring to? You wrote "There's no reason for the out-of-universe portion of these articles to be in the present tense," but, and I'm looking at the article as I'm typing this, I can confirm there are no verbs in the present tense in the Behind the Scenes section (nor generally in any other BTS sections). It is all in past tense, until you are referring to things like "who would play Sir Charles Summer in TV: The War Machines...." If you are, these aren't present tense. I'm pretty much using that conjugation (forgot what it's called...) to mean the future of the event but the past of today. I see nothing in present. Sorry.

What Links Here
You never answered my question in the day of the year thread. So I'll ask it here: how does one go about doing one such WLH search. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but I don't know how. I doubt it'd be an admin-only feature. It doesn't seem logical. So... how is it done? SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  02:17, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I looked it up on Google and found that it's done here. Thanks anyway. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎  02:17, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much, Czech. I've already been using for a while but I have no idea of the existence of Special:SpecialPages, which is so much clearer and has so much more information. It also never occurred to me to edit that tool bar at the bottom. I will now fiddle around there and add what's needed. Once again, thank you so much. You're making me feel so welcome, despite the fact that I only just joined about a month ago. Your tips are much appreciated. SmallerOnTheOutside  ☎  02:46, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
