User talk:LegoK9

'''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. Tangerineduel ☎  19:59, June 19, 2016 (UTC)

Page moves
I'll keep this brief. Only admin are really allowed to move/rename pages, as non-admins do not have the power to do so fully and properly. Instead, you should always use or, and wait for an admin to carry it out. Even if you're impatient for this result, it's still best to wait it out.

When you moved Golgalith to Golgauth, for example, as a non-admin you were unable to choose not to leave behind a redirect, so I had to, after the fact, delete the old redirect, at the very much incorrect name. You also failed to move any of the links to that page, to the new name. If I were to carry out that speedy rename, I would know that this needs to be done first, and in fact I have SV7, my bot, to really do all that manual work for me.

So please, leave page moves to the admins. is your friend. 02:37, February 1, 2017 (UTC)

Edit summary
Hi! Please note that the edit summary you left at Series 10 (Doctor Who) (that is, "The Sun is not a reputable source ya dingus") could be construed as a personal attack. Please read both Tardis:No personal attacks and Tardis:Edit summary. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  00:37, April 6, 2017 (UTC)

Google doc
Fyi, the Google Doc you linked in Thread:225793 is view-only. – N8 ☎ 17:33, November 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops! Thanks.

Block
Given that you've been warned before, you are blocked for a month for violating Tardis:No personal attacks on the edit summary at Alice Zhang. Shambala108 ☎  18:35, June 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't see how that was a personal attack. I reversed an edit on a page I've put work into and said a funny quote from The Avengers. LegoK9  ☎  19:50, June 10, 2018 (UTC)

If you look at the edit history for Alice Zhang, you can see User:OncomingStorm12th's comment:
 * "Highly unusual to do galleries on artist pages. A simple bulleted list is was more usual for these."

followed by your comment:
 * "'I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid ass decision, I've elected to ignore it.'"

Yes I know the source of the quote and normally I would give bonus points for a quote from The Avengers, but not in this case. To the average person, it looks like a deliberate attempt to ignore the rules, especially for anyone not familiar with the quote. To the average admin, it looks like an attempt to subvert Tardis:Do not disrupt this wiki to prove a point.

One thing you have to understand is that in this medium it is nearly impossible to recognize someone's mood or intent just by their text. We have no facial or vocal cues to let us know what someone means. Therefore, the typed words have to stand for themselves. If you type something calling someone a name, even as a joke, or suggest that the rules don't apply to you, even as a joke, it isn't always obvious to those reading that you are joking.

One thing I failed to address earlier: your actual edit. OncomingStorm12th suggested that we don't usually use galleries for artist pages. Since that is true, but you disagreed with it, your next step would be to address the issue on the article's talk page, instead of reverting the previous edit. That leads to edit wars, which is something the admins in general try to avoid and is one of the main things I watch out for.

Please keep in mind that your block is a month because I've already had to caution you against personal attacks in edit summaries. During your block I suggest you read Tardis:Edit summary and Tardis:Edit wars are good for absolutely nothing. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  03:40, June 11, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification of other guidelines of this wiki. While I understand the quote was unprofessional, I did think I was unfair for it to be seen as a personal attack as it was directed at the edit itself and not the individual who made the edit, in contrast to my previous infraction a year ago.

Leaks and discussions
I am sorry to have to remind you but encouraging others to watch leaked material is not acceptable on this wiki, including in the Discussions. Please do not repeat that mistake. I deleted the offending comment. Amorkuz ☎  05:43, July 22, 2018 (UTC)
 * Point taken and I will avoid discussing leaks in any further discussions. But if I recall correctly, I asked "Have you seen the leaked clip?" Asking if someone has seen it does not strike me as encouraging someone to watch said clip. If simply mentioning the existence of specific leaked material is against the rules because it could make some seek it out, I will follow that. But it seems like that rule would contradict itself as it mentions leaked material, so some clarification would be appreciated. LegoK9 ☎  16:27, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Rename tag
Hi please note that only admins are permitted to remove a rename tag. A rename tag means the name is up for discussion. You can start a post on the talk page arguing against the rename. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  02:19, February 2, 2019 (UTC)

Non-prejudicially buzzing off buzzards
Right. So first off, I'm sorry that I had to close the thread started by you. It was not personal and without prejudice. Crossovers are difficult in general and, even without them, I'm sure you remember when several editors got overexcited about opening inclusion debates, which led to rather unpleasant consequences. In those cases, the branching continuities were mostly much much smaller than Marvel UK. I hope you agree that we should not cover all of it. The purpose of my closure---and by the way, I did not participate in that thread: I wrote a closing post and closed it---the purpose was to establish a sufficiently high quality standard for starting inclusion debates involving Marvel UK. The criterion of having one character in common is way too low and would spread through Marvel UK like a wildfire. This cannot be allowed to happen. And having dozens of inclusion debates without hopes of succeeding only causes confrontation and is a drag on admin time. Plus, the question of whether a character originates in DWU is somewhat sensitive to chain inclusion, wouldn't you say? So a knee-jerk reaction to a character originating from a DWU story to open an inclusion debate every time such a character is used in any other story---that is also too low a standard. This wiki is devoted to stories intended to be set in DWU. A mere presence of a character does not demonstrate such an intent, especially within a publishing juggernaut such as Marvel, UK or otherwise.

And let's face it. Keepsake's vulture is much less than a character. It's a non-sentient animal that has exactly zero significance to every single story I've seen it in. In fact, it is not unfair to describe it as having only cameos and no plot-related appearances.

To summarise, if you can make a case for Death's Head: The Body in Question based on the four little rules and including a justification regarding being intended to be set in the DWU, sure, start a discussion. Amorkuz ☎  22:51, February 15, 2019 (UTC)
