2013 and image sizes
On the question of how to handle the stories of 2013, it was decided in Thread:146860 that we would create a page that was more or less imitative of, with primary emphasis given to the four televised stories of that year, secondary mention of non-stories (documentaries + Adventures in Space and Time) that appeared on television, and only passing reference to the other, non-broadcast material of that year, such as The Light at the End.

In other words, the page is still primarily a "season" page in nature, so that the prev/next flow from 7 to 8 is logically bridged by a page that is still mostly about television.

Please get with SmallerOnTheOutside, as he was one of the people chiefly interested in this plan. Don't worry; you won't be "calling him blind". We've talked about this within the last week!

I also have a note from other users about your recent picture uploads. You probably just forgot, but please remember that file sizes are supposed to be less than 100 kb. Several of yours have tripped alarms recently, including the near-1mb File:Dream a Little Dream for Me DWY93.jpg. Please be kind to our mobile users and guests on slower internet connections around the world!

Thanks for all your hard work around here! 11:54: Tue 25 Aug 2015

Companions
Done, buddy. I'd never heard of those two, it was an interesting read. Thanks! --Revan\Talk 12:21, August 28, 2015 (UTC)

Hello
You know I'm never going to catch up to you in the Game of Rassilon if you keep editting like crazy. :) Seriously, though, thanks for all the work you've done on the site. Hope you have a nice rest of the weekend. Bonjour, mon frere. :)  Ebyabe   (talk)  23:53, August 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, forgot to mention, really like your scarf. But I bet mine's longer than yours. ;)  Ebyabe   (talk)  23:56, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Preludes
I'm not going to do Prelude Parasite because I think the character might be someone special, but I can't figure exactly. See Talk:Prelude Parasite (short story) as to my reasoning. Cheers! :) Ebyabe   (talk)  03:34, September 7, 2015 (UTC)

Titan backup comics
Thanks for the heads up. Due to some computer issues, I've been off the wiki for a bit, but I'm back now and I've put in my two cents.  P&amp;P  talk   contribs  16:36, September 8, 2015 (UTC)

Your DWM sandbox
Hey! I was going through and checking some of the redlinks. Discovered a few could use disambiguation. I did so, but was reminded it's not good to edit other's sandboxes. I reset back the way it was. Apologies if it messed anything up. Anyway, cheers, and new Who this weekend. Woo-who! :) Ebyabe   (talk)  02:16, September 19, 2015 (UTC)

Locking pages
Generally, with regards to testing, you'd probably be right that it would be better to work with a sandbox.

But Martha and Eight had peculiar features it was necessary to share with other staff members, in order to make broader improvements in the new portable infobox code (Help:PortableInfoboxes if you've missed the announcements.)

Crucially - and this isn't a particularly well-known point — it's better for testing if you pick pages that are in the main namespace, because our mobile skin works differently there than it does on a subpage of a user page. Since we were actively testing the way the infoboxes were looking on mobile, I made the decision to freeze these two pages, as they both exhibited qualities we were eager to examine as a team. Also, neither character is particularly time-critical, as new stories with them are only being released comparatively slowly.

Still, the tests with Eight are done now, so I'll open him back up. But Martha will need to stay locked for a bit longer. 18:05: Sat 19 Sep 2015
 * Oh, you weren't blathering at all, and it certainly wasn't inconsiderate. You were clearly speaking up for the user experience. Keep on doing that, please :) 17:11: Sun 20 Sep 2015
