Re: Plot
Hey no problem, happy to do so! I have quite a few in mind that I want to do so hopefully they will be done over the next few weeks or at the very least, whenever I have a chance to purchase/listen to the audios in question. Yes I am terribly sorry, my method right now consists of listening to the audio and making notes in a microsoft word document as I listen. After that I just copy and paste it directly onto the page in question but as I've noticed, it reads the written characters literally and causes a lot of issues for which I am deeply sorry. I will be changing this in the future. I looked up sandoxing on wikipedia and while they have an explicit demonstration there, I was wondering if you could quickly fill me in on how to do a sandbox page here on tardiswiki? It will save a lot of work and time in the future. Also need to start using the "Inuse" template you mentioned before so I don't end up spamming the recent activity page. Thank you, I'm very sorry for all the inconvenience and much, much appreciated! DoctorQuoi ☎  23:14, June 21, 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi

Infoboxes
Okay, I understand. So infoboxes that are longer than the article and don't contain an actor can be removed? -- Saxon (✉️) 10:03, June 28, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks Shambala, I think I've caught all of them. I do agree with Saxon that we should have some definitive angle when there is need for an infobox and when there isn't. Especially in the light of these short articles but also in the longer ones, as I've sometimes had to add them to articles where they need them but are several paragraphs long especially audio characters.

Re: cleanup
Thanks, that's very kind of you. Not gonna lie, I do kind of enjoy keeping things organised, so it's good to be able to put that to good use! Thanks, also, to the efforts you put in, both in that area and in adminship in general, it really does help to keep the place running smoothly. Danochy ☎  10:46, June 28, 2020 (UTC)

Images
Hiya, you recently deleted, on the basis it was in a portrait orientation, however, due to the source of the image, it's not possible to get a landscape orientation without the whole left side being a completely redundant area of space, increasing the file size, making the image take longer to load, which as far as I can recall is something this wiki doesn't want. Please can you restore the file? Epsilon the Eternal ☎  21:12, June 30, 2020 (UTC)

Help
Hello could you meet me in chat at some point as there are some things i wish to discuss --WhoCares ☎  02:30, July 1, 2020 (UTC)

Hey thanks for the swift reply, really helpful. I recently edited the plot section for "The Edge of Destruction". I assume this is something taht people don't object to but if its a issue if you could let me know. I hope you don't mind me using you as a point of contact as you were the first person to speak to me on the platform. Regarding the "Jacanda" page what route should I take to get it changed to "Takanda". Anyway thanks again for all teh help. Insert non-formatted text here

Potential sock puppet
Hi, I noticed your edits were reverted again over at Subscriber Short Trips by what appears to be a a new IP of a user with an active one month ban. Just thought I'd let you know. Danochy ☎  02:06, July 5, 2020 (UTC)

Cyber-pages
Now that the The ArcHive Tapes have been ruled as valid, can you please restore the long-deleted pages CyberTelosian and CyberNeomorph. In addition, CyberMondasian as I recall had a history before being deleted and ultimately recreated as a redirect to CyberMondan. I believe it would be useful to restore that history and possibly useful content within. --MrThermomanPreacher ☎  16:53, July 8, 2020 (UTC)

Re:Interpretation
Again, I think the point is well taken generally, and the specific issue about new users is certainly relevant. I just think this particular instance was much ado about nothing for the reasons laid out. (That said, have you actually had instances of users thinking something is policy when someone makes clear that they're interpreting a comment made by someone else? I say this with no frustration whatsoever, I'm utterly fascinated by this idea. I would love to see an example if you know of one.) Najawin ☎  17:27, July 9, 2020 (UTC)
 * this will be my only comment, as i do not want to wade in and cause a big argument.


 * i clearly remember an instance where you stated a policy to me which turned out to be wrong. it occurred here; Talk: How The Monk Got His Habit (short story), i had opened a merger discussion on the talkpage of said page (as i correctly thought at the time was the right thing to do) but you came in and stated quite firmly that i had went against policy and needed to make a thread about it; "make a thread about it. Until then, T:BOUND, you can't say that they're the same thing".


 * it later turned out that this was wrong and you didnt exactly step up to explain that you'd led me wrong. not that i found it to be too big a deal, but the way you firmly stated a policy that you actually didnt understand led me to doing something wrong so i could very well see this happening in the forums to new users too.
