Game of Rassilon abuse
Hi :) We're glad you appear to be enjoying playing the Game of Rassilon.  However, please know there are a few rules in place, viewable at Tardis:Game of Rassilon rules.  And the biggest is basically, "Don't game the system".  All edits in the game should be meaningful.  They can be small, quick edits, to be sure. But they must improve the site in some way.  Your blog post at User blog:Layton4/Me, consisting solely of the letter "m", was clearly an attempt to simply win a badge, as was your subsequent comment to that blog post. Neither added anything to the site or its community.

We realise, of course, that you meant no harm. You were probably just testing the system to see if it worked. So you're not in any trouble. But please just try to make substantive edits. Please remember that the goal of the game is to improve the wiki. 14:39: Mon 19 Sep 2011


 * To reiterate the point above, your edits a Changes are a clear defiance of the rule. 23 revisions with not intermediate changes? Stop gaming the system.-- 19:50, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Images
So you know; I reverted your upload of a new version of File:Manager.jpg. I did this because your uploading changed the image on this page to an unrelated one. The image you uploaded was moved to File:Floor_Manager.jpg but has since been replaced outright.

Thank you for your time. Raven&#39;s wing talk to me 21:11, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
Hi.

Thanks for adding categories, however, a top level category like Category:Humans should only be added to an individual's page if they've failed to fit into any of the subcategories within Cat:Humans. So for instance Ambrose Northover is already in the category, which itself is a subcategory of Category:Humans by profession, and that is a subcategory of Cat:Humans. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:05, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Welcoming
Hi. thanks for the message Layton. I will be sure to ask you first if I have any questions about the Wiki. Thanks again for the warm welcome! Billyboy123 talk to me 20:22, December 9, 2011 (UTC)

By the way
Just so you know, it is not acceptable for a user just to edit pages that give them achievements; as you seem to have over the past 24 hours. Achievements are there to encourage users to edit there as well as other places on the wiki; you should not just edit there. Your recent edits mainly been around K9 television stories and Sarah Jane Smith audio stories - two set of achievements that just came out.

Please remember that editing soley for achievement reasons can get you blocked and kicked of the Game of Rassilon, which you and we don't want. So just remember to edit every where you can on the wiki, not just in the places where there are achievements. MM/ Want to talk? 20:16, December 18, 2011 (UTC)

Ok. Sorry about that. Just saying that if people look on a SJA audio page, and it says "the Doctor" they won't know what Doctor it is. So I changed it to "Third Doctor" 15:05, December 31, 2011 (UTC) 18:49: Tue 20 Dec 2011

Block
Please note that you have been blocked from editing for 24 hours. The reason: all you edits have been within pages that you get achievements in order to get them. This is not allowed. Please do not soley edit pages in which you get achievements, as you have been warned before.

You can still edit your own talk page. Thank you for understanding. MM/ Want to talk? 12:30, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Editing
Do not just edit pages where there are achievements. Edit everywhere you can. Editing on solely on pages that give you achievements can be considered cheating in the Game of Rassilon and will get you blocked from editing.

You have already been warned before, please remember this. MM/ Want to talk? 13:55, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Mentions
Mentions have been deliberately turned off. Notice was given at Forum:"Mentions" field being deactivated.

They render in a very confusing way in the mobile skin that Wikia recently launched, such that they seem to be appearances on most mobile devices. But it's not just mobile issues. Ordinary desktop displays are flummoxed by these super-long mentions fields. As the infobox grows vertically, photos in early sections of the article are seriously displaced. That's two significant tech issues, so they're outta here without further debate. There's no forum discussion that makes right a technical problem -- much less two.

Moreover, there was user dissatisfaction with the field anyway. A big problem was they were notoriously incomplete. Infoboxen should really contain only solid, simple facts. They're not places to build lists, especially ones where "what counts as a mention?" is at issue. Removing them was the prudent course of action.

Basically they're junk clogging up the design, and the info is too insignificant for its own article. So the "info", to the extent it was actually informational, goes. .  03:33: Sun 25 Dec 2011

Admin request
Looking very quickly through your list of contributions a large majority of them appear to be minor edits.

At the moment you haven't contributed enough to the wiki to make a judgment of your editing ability accurate. I also have to take into consideration your recent editing block mentioned above.

You can continue to involve yourself in the majority of all of the wiki's tasks. You may also look at T:HOW ADMIN for more information about how you can involve yourself in admin-like tasks. Thanks, any other questions please ask and I'll try to answer. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:08, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Forum clarification
Hiya :) Could you please clarify your position at Forum:Can we disable visual editor please?  You've cast your vote as "get rid of it", and you say you agree with the disabling rationale, but you end your remarks by saying something like, "we should keep it for those who want it".   You should be aware that such a thing isn't possible.  Either we get rid of it, or we don't.  The debate is about permanently disabling it for all users in all circumstances.  There is no "halfway house" for this action.   17:44: Sun 15 Jan 2012

Edits
Can you tell me exactly what you have edited: here and here?

Right now, from what I'm seeing, you have gone to edit the page, made no changes and clicked save, in order to get the achievements. Please tell me exactly what your edits stated about have done. They seem like nothing. MM/ Want to talk? 17:26, March 27, 2012 (UTC)
