User talk:Skittles the hog

Hey!
I seen you around on the Primeval Wikia and I believe you are the creator of that wikia? How come you never edit on that Wikia? Have you retired? Kabilan29 13:31, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

oh ok! I still watch Primeval! I also like Doctor Who but I really liked it with the 10th Doctor and Rose! After David Tennant left, the show sucks! You gonna watch Primeval Series 4? Do you work on any other Wikia? If you do can you tell me cos I might help you out! Thanks! Kabilan29 16:42, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Categories
Hi, please remember when creating categories that it should all be lower case, except names (and the first word). --Tangerineduel 15:53, September 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's correct, if in doubt look to Wikipedia's pages (ours and Wikipedia's don't usually line up exactly but you often can get the idea).
 * However, some the things listed in Natural disasters aren't. Pompeii is a location, the eruption of Mt Vesuvius was the disaster element, Mistfall was the instigator of an evolutionary process not a disaster of any sort.
 * Krakatoa is correct though it was a natural disaster, it along with Mr Vesuvius could/can be placed in the natural disasters category. Though there should be 3 articles in a category to create the category.
 * I'm going to get rid of Man-made disaster's as there's currently only one thing in the category (there should be at least 3 for the category to be created). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:05, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

Adding naming to categories on articles
Hi, I've noticed some of your recent edits have involved adding correct naming to articles so they categorise correctly.

To save some typing just add at the top of the categories (which is below the text box in the the Wiki markup section) and add the name that you want the category to sort by after the colon so it would look like this categories , I've changed Mitra Ashkanzai so you can see how it works.

There's nothing wrong with the method you're using at the moment (It's the way I used to do it for a while!), but using the default sort means any categories that are added or for pages with a lot of categories you only need to fill in this info once rather than however many times for lots of categories or whatever. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 17:16, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

TV stub
Please leave it as TV stub. Its is easier for User to see when they look through the Section stub category, and also it means it will appear on 'Article that need updating...'in the proper section. Its also the correct tag for a television stub, as many of the pages also have missing info in the Counitunity, or Story notes sections.. Mini-mitch 19:36, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Please still leave it as a TV stub, it is easier to find under the category of TV stub for when User are going to edit the stub pages. Mini-mitch 19:39, September 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but both templates on. That way people will now what bit of the page is a stub. That actually seems a much better way to do it... Mini-mitch 19:43, September 25, 2010 (UTC)

DVD covers
Please before uploading new DVD covers check Doctor Who DVD covers (or more specifically Doctor Who DVD covers/Region 2 if you're just uploading UK covers) to see if there's already an image of the DVD cover uploaded. Most of the DVD covers uploaded end up appearing on those pages (or related pages). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:48, October 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Already done, I've in fact not deleted, I've moved the image for the Key to Time as it was a higher res image than the previous image (if you check your contributions you'll see the file name for the image you've uploaded has changed, but it now links to several other articles, I then changed the Key to Time DVD article page to link to the newly moved image, which is the one you uploaded) and I've left the Dalek War image as it's a different angle. Also I always check what links to files before I delete. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:58, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Images
BBC screenshot should be able to be used for that, the the wording on the Template:Screenshot is "This image is a screenshot of a television programme, movie, video game, web broadcast or DVD feature over which the BBC have some level of ownership.". The screenshot template should suffice for the DVD features (of which the BBC has copyright of). --Tangerineduel 11:54, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Title cards
Sure go for it. There already exists Title cards/Doctor Who so maybe use that as inspiration rather than the DVD covers gallery. --Tangerineduel 15:43, October 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would have thought Doctor Who documentary title cards would have been the most logical thing to call it. With sections for Doctor Who, Torchwood, SJA etc. Or alternatively you could go the DVD cover's route and go with sub-pages for each of the series'. But I'd suggest Documentary title cards with it all on the one page for now and we can see if we need to complicate things (and in what way to complicate it). --Tangerineduel 16:35, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Canon
I can understand why you did it because it wasn't even made canon in the first place. I, The Thirteenth Doctor and Tangerineduel had a long discussion about it and the Tomorrow Windows does show the Curse of Fatal Death Doctor's as being part of a possible future for the Doctor, so it pulls it back into canon.
