User talk:CzechOut

Edit History?
CzechOut, this is a little trivial but I read the descriptions for all of the discussion boards and it didn't seem like my question was appropriate for any of them, even Help.

My question is how can I see the edit history of a Page? I just can't find the option to view this, like you can under History on "the other wiki". Is this view only available to Admins? It seems like it would be pretty simple feature since lots of users refer to other people's edits or reverts of edits. But I can't find it. : ( Badwolff ☎  21:13, May 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply and instructions. Although a revert did just happen on a Howling thread where someone accidentally deleted some comments and the discussion had to be reverted. I guess it's an option there if you know what you're looking for! Thanks, again. Badwolff ☎  22:10, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Photo License Accident
I was uploading a photo of River's diary and I think I accidentally forgot to add the license to it. I realized right after I clicked to add the photo, it should've been labeled as a Screencapture, and I've been trying to figure out how to correct the mistake but I haven't been able to find a way to add the license after the fact. I know the photos have to have one and it was just a stupid oversight on my part, so I wanted to let you know so it doesn't appear that I was intentionally trying to leave off the license. I'm hoping there's an easy way to fix it. Mewiet ☎  08:15, May 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I was looking at some other uploads and I think I managed to correct the mistake. Mewiet ☎  08:22, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

Revealing dab terms in dab pages
I'm a little bit confused about one aspect of your recent edits at Out of Time. Your edit summaries seem to imply that revealing dab terms is preferable, even though all the information in the term is then immediately revealed in more detail after the link. For example, in... the dab term just gets repeated in fill sentence format. The same applies to the other two.
 * Out of Time (CON episode), an episode of Doctor Who Confidential broadcast alongside The Big Bang.

Now this is fine for out-of-universe lists like this. The problem really arises when you end up with something like this: This is simply unreadable! Obviously, Lucy is not in such a state, but you seem to be implying that it should be. So is there a line to be drawn here, or do you truly believe that we should reveal all dab terms? If so, why?
 * Lucy (Human Nature) (PROSE: Human Nature)
 * Lucy (Evolution) (PROSE: Evolution)
 * Lucy (Slow Decay) (PROSE: Slow Decay)
 * Lucy (Trace Memory) (PROSE: Trace Memory)
 * Lucy (The Vampires of Venice) (TV: The Vampires of Venice)
 * Lucy (Wishing Well) (PROSE: Wishing Well)
 * Lucy (The Ratings War) (AUDIO: The Ratings War)

Sort keys
Hi! If I find a page with multiple sort keys, which one should I keep? It's usually a choice between "default" and either "name" or "title", depending on the type of page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  02:58, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

Bernice GOR
I asked User:Tangerineduel for some Benny ideas and here's what he came up with: Combining his with mine, there's more than 8 so that should be enough to go on hopefully. Shambala108 ☎  03:39, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Archaeology: "You've found coprolite on Apollox 4, Congrats!", "I found the Sword of Forever and all I got was...death",
 * Students:
 * Drinking: "Have a toast; M3 Variant and Potato Spirit",
 * Eating: "Ate pizza in the 60s for the first time",
 * Culture: "Star Trek TNG's a documentary right?",
 * Sex with 8: "Standing naked with the Seventh Doctor; about romantic as a fish", "A Doctor who may change but never die" (actual quote from The Dying Days)
 * Marriage/Weddings: "Sherlock came to the wedding.", "The Brigadier came to the wedding", "Ice Warriors came to the wedding", "Ace had sex with a clone of my husband at the wedding.", "Started naked in a field with an Ice Warrior ended in the arms of Jason",
 * Doctor/Companion length: "Travelled with the Doctor, then worked for his brother.",
 * Ice Warriors: "Shurr…" (It's what the Martians call Benny and is like Dame or something)


 * Re images - I pulled some images out of the Bernice image category, but they're almost exclusively cover pictures for audio & prose, so none of them really match the ideas we have. Mostly I just went with images that have a good close-up of her face. Shambala108 ☎  02:01, May 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * It looks great! I think your idea of using images of different people is better than what I came up with. I just don't know Bernice very well.


 * I have to admit I'm glad you kept "I dig archaeology". Not only is it a really bad pun, but when I found on her page that she had a badge with that quote, I was hoping we would use it. Shambala108 ☎  02:49, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Society vs Planets?
I noticed you moved the categories Skaro, Traken, and a few others to the "Society" category, rather than planets. I changed some of them back without really thinking about it, but I thought I should get your reasoning (does it have anything to do with planets being part of the Game of Rassilon now?) before I dug myself any further into a possible faux pas. Memnarc ☎  03:28, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Gotcha'. I undid Traken and Skaro, but I'm a little hazy on Sol System planets. I mean with the other two, I get that recursion's a factor, and no other category really fits, but Sol System planets already has another category and could probably be put under Mutter's Spiral planets (which I'm having a hard time finding any recursion on).

Navigation Help
I want to know how to set up the wiki navigation and the font on my wiki, UEFA Wiki. Here's a link http://uefa.wikia.com/wiki/UEFA_Wiki. I know it has something to do with the css but I want the code. Thanks --QuestionRules 21:09, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

Abuse filter tweak
Somehow, this diff did not trigger the abuse filter, even though I'm sure that most of those words are on the list. Could you look into that when you have the time? --SOTO ☎ 15:39, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Really? I kind of remember you getting blocked temporarily for editing a MediaWiki page that was a long list of every piece of profanity that you could ever imagine. Did you rethink, and get rid of that page?
 * Anyway, that's actually good news. I've had to refrain from adding things like Owen's amazingly complete definition of "fuck buddy" in fear of getting blocked by the abuse filter.
 * --SOTO ☎ 20:04, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't remember what it's called. If I did, I'd have linked you. But it was just a long paragraph of almost every single possible swear word and combination. I tried to find it through your block and abuse logs, but it didn't seem to be there. I do distinctly remember such a page. I'm positive that it was sometime in April, as it was after CBG (what happened to her?) triggered the filter at the beginning of the month, and before the page user:abuse filter was created at the end of it (it was a redlink at the time). --SOTO ☎ 20:34, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here, I found it: MediaWiki:BadWords. What's its purpose, if not to block people to use those words? --SOTO ☎ 22:19, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Lol. Probably. Okay, thank you for clearing that up. It's good to know that I can relay "bad words" into our articles from NAs and Torchwood. --SOTO ☎ 23:11, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Bad words
Might as well put it under a new heading here too. Actually, here is the dialogue in which it comes up in Out of Time:
 * Owen: We could be fuck buddies.
 * Diane: What's a fuck buddy?
 * Owen: It's, um, it's a friend that you have casual sex with.

So the article would say something like:
 * A fuck buddy was, according to Owen Harper, "a friend that you have casual sex with." Owen offered Diane Holmes such a relationship after she accidentally travelled from 1953 to 2007 through the Cardiff Rift. (TV: Out of Time)

You see? Not just a page for the sake of having the word "fuck" in it, but just a nicely defined term getting its own page. This seems fine to me. --SOTO ☎ 23:38, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Created it. I created category:sex in the process. I hope you don't mind it being under category:culture. Should it be under biology as well? --SOTO ☎ 00:04, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Celestial Toymaker clip
The official Doctor Who YouTube channel has a clip from The Celestial Toymaker on it. Could you upload this, please? Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 22:18, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Exhibitions and days of the year
I'm currently in the process of adding opening/closing dates for Doctor Who exhibitions to day of the year articles. But, once we split the pages up, where will they go? I suppose the most fitting page would be releases, although they're not technically being "released". Think on this, and get back to me if you have an answer. --SOTO ☎ 22:24, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

John Culshaw
I noticed you said to not put Culshaw as the main voice actor, which makes sense. Would it be all right if I added him under 'other voice actor?' Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here. 00:39, May 31, 2013 (UTC)

Trafalgar Square
I don't see why you had to delete it. My intent was to not include the video, and just ignore the second half of it, and it's not really part of the story anyway. I'm assuming that the spoiler you're referring to is the filming spoiler in the second half, right? Where in the now-deleted article did I actually include any of those spoilers? I'm fairly sure that the answer should be nowhere.

I originally asked if I could create the page at thread:130675, but seeing as no one ever answered it, I figured that there would be nothing wrong with the page. Once again, I only discussed the Strax scene — so how does that violate T:SPOIL? --SOTO ☎ 00:40, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * To elaborate, if you think that mentioning that Strax spotted the Eleventh Doctor in Trafalgar Square is the violation, the Field Report is actually an officially released story. It was released a little while ago in fact. While you might quibble (and I'm sure you will) over whether or not it's a "story", you cannot deny that it has been long officially released. --SOTO ☎ 00:45, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I respect your decision. In fact, I actually agree with you — just the title is a spoiler. I do think that it has been released in full, but I'll let that slide in favour of not spoiling anything about the 50th. I'll be more careful in the future. On a side note, you should remove Strax Field Report from category:marketing campaigns, as it's already in category:Strax Field Reports. --SOTO ☎ 02:20, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, never mind. You got rid of category:Strax Field Reports instead. Ignore that last bit, then. --SOTO ☎ 02:20, May 31, 2013 (UTC)

Strax Field Report: The Name of the Doctor
This is really a separate, but related, issue. Now that you've removed my and locked Strax's Field Report: The Name of the Doctor, would you mind renaming it to Strax Field Report: The Name of the Doctor (webcast)? The YouTube video very clearly names it as such, and the 's entered into the title accidentally. Thank you. --SOTO ☎ 02:29, May 31, 2013 (UTC)

Bug cutting page in half
Hello again, big fixer! Erm, there seems to be a weird issue at David Melbourne... Half the text is there in the edit box, but disappears on the actual page. Did I make a mistake in the coding or something? I've never seen this before... --SOTO ☎ 13:03, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've taken care of it. He used  instead of.

Breaking news
Warning, tomorrow's newspaper front pages contain a major spoiler for series 8.


 * It's actually impossible to say which pages to lock without you immediately knowing what's happening. Cult Of Skaro Here.|Communicate here.
 * Ah, you saw the message CzechOut left on my talk page. Yeah, I was thinking of Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith, and a third article whose identity would give away the spoiler. Oh, and Series 8, of course. Didn't know that page existed until just now.
 * Locking everything that links from series 7 is a bit drastic. That would mean that we can't edit basic pages like London, and I can't edit any day of the year articles linked from there (which are quite a few, actually.) --SOTO ☎ 22:20, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that. I saw the message a while ago, but by the time I came to the Vengeance on Varos (TV story) page, I had forgotten the specifics of the bot run. When I came across another page with the problem, I realized what I had done wrong :P Shambala108 ☎  23:32, June 1, 2013 (UTC)

Howling Message All Caps
Don't know if this is significant enough to put here, but I entered an all-caps word on a Howling discussion post and it said to post a reason on [link to this page]. I was just using the word "objection", quoting it in all-caps as it appears in the Phoenix Wright series. I know the message was automated, but I decided to do what it said anyway. —BioniclesaurKing4t2 - "Hello, I'm the Doctor. Basically, . . . run." 16:29, June 5, 2013 (UTC)

Religion
Argh, I was getting so far!! I didn't think my categorial expansion would be controversial. Note that I did not add people to these categories simply because they attended a church. Everyone in the new categories are either religious leaders, or very directly identify with a religion. Many of those are specifically organisations, the contents members of these organisations. I have categories there named "followers of" and "members of" — very clearly members of those religions. I understand there might be a blur in the DWU between Catholics and Protestants, so we could always group them together into one central category:Christians if necessary. Apart from that, I do not see any issues. --SOTO ☎ 16:33, June 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * On a slightly related note, do we still have the "a category must have 3 pages before you create it" ruling or was that one removed in the MoS redistribution/have we done away with that requirement? --Tangerineduel / talk 16:57, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm still in the midst of expanding those categories. Any categories with only 2 pages will have at least three by the end of it. --SOTO ☎ 17:02, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
