Just noticed there's a minor trickster character in a Fifth Doctor story. Is THE Trickster sufficient disambiguation enough with the SJA villain? Also, what about the page "Trickster"? Should that lead to the Sarah Jane villain? Nine of its twelve links clearly refer to the SJA character.

Third Doctor comic images
Okay, so I have collected the images you requested for the page. I have looked across multiple comics with very good images that I hope we can use to illistrate the page.


 * First off, you asked for 4 TVA images. The first, of coarse, is File:Abe Lincoln.jpg, which we discussed before. The next is a similar image, File:Third Doctor Nazi.jpg, which is also one of those stand-off-ish images. The next is this one, which I choose because it contained Finney, who is one of the more popular comic-companions.
 * Next, you asked for an image of the Doctor and one of his "boy" companions. I choose the Doctor and Nick, the first African American companion.
 * you also requested an image from a comic story produced later. I choose two. File:Target Practice.jpg is, like you suggested, from Target Practice. I also want to include this image from Death to the Doctor!, because of it's varying style and it's recency. I realise that it does not work well on the page, so I have cropped it down here.
 * And last of all, you asked me to find a pre-TVA TvC image, which I admitt is my weak spot, and this is the best I could find. I'm sure you have a better stock of TVC images then me, so I dont mind if you replace that one...

Just incase you find any of my images unsatisfactory, I have also supplied some replacements; File:Third Doctor and Ace.jpg File:TheVortex.jpg File:Fourth Doctor & Third Dcotor Sea Devils.png File:Change of mind.jpg

Hope my images are satisfactory.. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:48, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you did go over it twice. And I used the simple method and am sufficiently annoyed at the disregard of my wishes t not be in the mood to relearn how to do this work. You are aware that the first line of most of the stuff is not easily amanageable -- no longer available highlight and paste. I'm sure there is a nice explanation of how to go about doing that.

Hi there, just to say thanks for the advice on what to do with pictures. I recently recieved my Mannequin Mania boxset so looked at the story's articles and decided that they needed some pictures, so sorry if for a bit I made things a bit confusing for you LOL by adding them all without the right tags. I know now though, and will bear that in mind in future when adding new pictures.

So, yes, thanks and happy editing :) --Dalek194 talk to me 18:22, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

Ah, ok, thanks again :) By the way, I just noticed files like that of the First Doctor handbook cover, which predominantly feature one Doctor but have small thumbnails of the other, are categorised as under all of the Doctor's photograph pages... shouldn't this be changed? I know that I'm probably wrong, but it seems a little silly that all of the handbook covers be categorised under all of the Doctors when each cover is specific to one of them.

Standard apostrophes
I just saw the message you left on Victory93's page and thought I'd just mention that it may have been unintentional and not deliberate. I used to bulk write EDA pages offline, in Word which introduced those punctuation problems like the apostrophe and also ellipsis which don't look any different in Word (also TextEdit with the ellipsis). You also can't tell the difference looking at them, until you come to type and link them (which gave me a lot of problems with Sometime Never...). The apostrophe use as you noted can also be seen in a lot of User:The Librarian's contributions, they're of less concern but it is still notable if you know to look for them. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:35, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Video games and books
Thank you for making a decision on the Happy Deathday page... May I ask however, if we should do the same for The Five Doctors... Or if that's a little too much.

Also, I also added Who Killed Kennedy to Category:Books from the real world, as the book itself is an in-universe book... Every page in it is a page from a book in the DWU... So should we make a separate page for the in-universe book itself? OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 16:20, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

TV story pages/categories
Is there a reason that Amy's Choice hasn't been moved to the new nomenclature? It and the Category:Amy's Choice TV story images don't exist. I thought I'd hold off on creating/moving them as the move has been your realm.

Also on a related note the template on Category:Doctor Who (1996) TV story images doesn't link to the story. Which I guess is similar to Amy's Choice, as [Doctor Who (1996) also hasn't been moved.

Re: 'In character' appearances by the Doctor
Hi czechout,

Thank you for your reply of 28th February 2012 to my question ('In character' appearances by the Doctor) at the Reference Desk forum page, and for putting everything regarding the subject matter into perspective.

To be honest, I had no idea that the template page you mentioned, DWTV, existed at all (which just goes to show how much I know!). But now I know it does, I'll know where to look in future.

Mind you, Neil Harris's review of the U.N.I.T. Files DVD box set in Doctor Who Magazine Issue 443 (cover dated: 8 February 2012) does describe Jon Pertwee's in-character appearance along with the Whomobile on Billy Smart's Children's Circus as "a mini-adventure which I'm sure many will regard as canonical" – but then, that's his opinion! :-)

Freddie R. Aldous talk to me 14:59, March 6, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Neil Harris
Yes, I have definitely seen the Whomobile's appearance in Billy Smart's Children's Circus, czechout. Thank you for asking.

And, as well as hoping that the Doctor succeeded in helping Gabriella Smart find her lost performing dogs in time for her forthcoming act, I hope Neil Harris was kidding... :-)

table images query
Hi! been a while I know. I've been personally archiving some who related bits at home to clear some space which is taking longer than I thought I must add!, but just noticed that images on tables (well Doctor Who: Monster Invasion (magazine) and Sarah Jane CO figures) seem to have lost the sizing consistancy. I know you've mentioned my image sizes before and recommend tables to display images rather than galleries but this has thrown me a bit. Any to say that may help would be much appreciated ie how to determine the size of an image in a table. Thanks The Librarian talk to me 23:40, March 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Who's been a busy boy then? :) Ok I think I got most of it and will endeavour to happily conform (got some catching up to do I reckon). To address some of the points so you know where I'm coming from.... The Battles in Time images were composites (never sequential) and as you said old- they were my first attempt at comic strips and rather than create a page of each they were like a visual jogger to characters and objects that because of lack of content at the time I didn't think warranted an entry each - besides which it was unclear (as with most partworks how many parts their were going to be). To be honest I've never knowingly used thumbnails so I've got to mend my ways there. Regarding tables with images I know what you mean - I tried for ages to find an example to see what I was doing wrong and in the end gave up and passed it over to you ! hahaha The only one I think I've created and used was the Doctor Who: Monster Invasion (magazine) and that was following your suggestion not to use galleries so much and I found the Character Options SJA action figures link which you gave me as an example.


 * I stopped editting for a while because I had problems. For some reason I could only seem to edit by going to the beginning of a section and scrolling across the purple block to get to where I wanted to be which was really annoying- but I think this may have been sorted - I'll let you know.


 * Didn't quite get the categorising images bit (I'll go back and re-read it. I notice that in selecting copyright licence several have been removed (eg illustration from specific titles) Is this temporary or do I have to select "other source"/None of the above? With DWA no longer a BBC Magazine title it was better to have a DWA illustration copyright on the drop down I see there is one for DWM and IDW. :(


 * If you could please keep an eye on me for a bit - I'm bound to mess up somewhere, I'm not technically minded and DO want to get it right. Sorry for any unnecessary hassle I've caused. Will try to do better! I notice as well that edits to talk pages don't seem to flag up as you have new message. I think thats where I lost out on keeping up to date unusually I was focussed on whatever-I-was-doing. ANyway Thanks again I'll see what I can do The Librarian talk to me 19:37, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Episode infobox
Nice work with the episode infobox. I know it's probably not that close to being finished, but looking at the format right now, would it be a good idea to spilt up the 'format' line. It currently stands, for example as 1x50 minute episode.

Should this not be broken down into:


 * Length, which we give either the precise length of the episode or even just let it remain as it is (rounded up)

and


 * Number of episodes. In most cases for the new series this would just be '1', but for the likes of The End of Time and the classic series, it would be '2', '3' etc.

I just think it would look a bet better, now is the time, I suppose, to see if it worthwhile doing or not. Thanks. MM/ Want to talk? 10:42, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

New story navboxes
Are you carefully overseeing the navigation templates yourself, or is it fine if I do tweaks where I see fit? -- Tybort (talk page) 20:28, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Or is the bot still in the middle of things as well? -- Tybort (talk page) 20:39, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, a couple more questions:


 * 1) What warrants a "main setting"? Do important preludes and epilogues count if they're a massive part of the plot?
 * 2) I notice a couple of stories have a previously and next produced in the navbox. How do double-banked episodes fit into that?
 * 3) Dreamland shouldn't really have anything to do with The Waters of Mars and The End of Time's "previous and next" navigation, right?
 * 4) Does/will Infobox Story suit non-Doctor-and-companion stories? Or is it just for Doctor Who?
 * 5) How should The End of Time's "confidential" and "story number" sections go? -- Tybort (talk page) 00:45, March 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * When I asked 1, I was thinking of prologues and epilogues in particular so I'm glad you pointed out the Closing Time examples.


 * On Dreamland, I was thinking otherwise to due to it not really being considered a 2009 special (at least according to Dreamland (TV story) and 2009 Specials (Doctor Who)'s pages). But it seems silly to have The End of Time AND Dreamland on The Waters of Mars next, and The Waters of Mars AND Dreamland on The End of Times previous.


 * Also, what would you do with the revival's Comic Relief and Children in Need specials i.e. Space/Time in the previous/next navigation?


 * To elaborate on 5. Confidential refers to The End of Time being a two-parter and therefore having two confidential links, and its story number is 202a and 202b when presumably 202 would suffice? The only time I'd think the lettering would apply is the special case with The Trial of a Time Lord (143a-d). -- Tybort (talk page) 02:15, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Editing issues
I've got two computers at the moment (but haven't really tested it out yet (Windows 7 / IE - I'll let you know if the same occurs later), but the one that I'm using mostly and had issues were; Vista / Firefox latest / Wikia (with Bernice).

RE: Messages/Alerts - I'm getting general wikia notifications and Rassilon awards but nothing to say that I have new message on my talk page. I'm sure I used to. RE: Page editing - what happens is; I go to edit a section, it appears in a 'greyed out' block but sometimes doesn't allow me to edit directly into a line unless I go to the left of the frame and scroll across through the text. As I tend to prepare pages its not an issue I've found with editing previews but I have found it when tidying up pages. Once at least last night I recall. I'll let you know next time it occurs.

Infoboxen
Are you ever not busy? :)

Just a quick question, re the retirement of my little bp template, how will we list multiple years/settings without line breaks/bullet points? I'm thinking of stuff like The Chase and The Left-Handed Hummingbird. On The Chase it's fairly obvious with all the settings sort of crammed together. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:23, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Related to both this and what you said about "main settings", how do serials which go all over the place narrow down to one or two main settings? The main culprits I can think of are TW: Fragments, most of Miracle Day, DW: The Infinite Quest, Turn Left and The Wedding of River Song. Possibly The Chase and The Daleks' Master Plan, too, though I'm less familiar with those stories to draw attention to them. -- Tybort (talk page) 14:09, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * I saw your note on Tybort's page asking to hold off on making changes for a day or two. At the very least, the bot should be putting breaks in here instead of just removing the list tags. I hope there's an easy solution to this, since so many lines are being smashed together.
 * Should we leave the smashed-together listings for the bot to handle, or should we manually separate them?
 * Similarly, should we start removing the BP uses, or let the bot handle those?
 * How should we separate these lines, now and later? a break only, a comma only, a comma and a break, or something else? -- Gousha talk to me 03:04, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * The prime examples I saw were pages like Dalek Emperor, Arcturan and Axos, and fixes I already applied to Transolar disc and a few lesser ones. It appears the issue may already be in hand, as I see the changes done to Cyber-Wars points at just using a comma between items. However, even there the changes aren't complete. (see the result box). -- Gousha talk to me 05:37, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Can we not have bullet points but remove any indentation? Or do bullet points not work like that here?

I can see what you're trying to do with the setting field, and I agree, we don't need all that information, it's enough to say where the setting is for the characters, rather than being all specific about what land mass or nation it is (unless that's the only info).

I don't know what the original editors were up to, I think it was user:Mantrid who gave us infobox, but the fields were never explained it was more a case of look at the stories it was used on and then go and use it on others. Or at least that's how I and others went about it. I remember there being an infobox before Mantrid's creation though I can't remember what stories it was on (only remember removing it and all its code from pages.).

I definitely think we need to keep setting and year. I think this might also help editors to economise their information, if we say the setting field has to be a single location and the year field has to only correspond to that location.

Would this mean that we'd have multiple fields like setting1=/year1=, setting2=/year2= etc? I'm just thinking that if we've got all the info organised like that it would make using that data, when separated out like that a lot easier than just with commas (though I also imagine that it's not something a bot can do, so there'll be a lot of manual edits in the future).

Also I'd like to say thank you for not replacing the 'Previous'/'Next' with just arrows, it is something I know I've mentioned in the past, but it's a real pet hate of mine. Navigating MemoryAlpha is a pain because of their arrows / mouse over info (and MemAlpha is practically un-navigatable on a mobile browser because of them). --Tangerineduel / talk 16:21, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Voice actor
Just while I remember, can you add 'Voice actor(s)' as a field on the individual infobox? It will be more accurate for individuals such as Mr Smith, Daleks, Cybermen etc if we have voice actors separate from actors, since they some people can see them as different. MM/ Want to talk? 18:50, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Images by comic story
I notice you don't seem to have an images by TVA, PHS, DWY and TM comic story images. I assume there's a simple way for the bot to do those? Notably, I can see at least one example, DWY: Metamorphosis being mislabelled as DWAN. -- Tybort (talk page) 23:51, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Confusingly, TVA: The Unheard Voice and PHS: Doomcloud are listed as TVC, but I'm gathering that's because they're Fourth Doctor reprints with muddling categorising. -- Tybort (talk page) 00:19, March 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oh, and DH, too. Notably, DH: Time Bomb! was also miscategorised. -- Tybort (talk page) 03:01, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Race into species?
I've noticed that character pages are no longer displaying a character's race unless the race section of the infobox is changed to read species instead. Is there some kind of error here, or is this a new policy? Because if it's the latter, then it's going to take a REALLY long time to change every single character's infobox.

Vehicle images
Just to double-check, does Category:Vehicle images only apply to exterior shots or interior ones as well? -- Tybort (talk page) 15:16, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, Midnight and Voyage of the Damned are entire episodes set inside (non-TARDIS) vessels. I was mostly considering spaceships or public transport when I said that, so at least closer to the "people strolling" one. Didn't consider the ubiquity of "closeups of people who are in a car" when I asked.

Would something like the Titanic's nuclear storm drive be yay or nay? -- Tybort (talk page) 18:36, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Home era
With the 'Home Era' section now redundant in the infobox, would now be a good time to suggest a change to something like 'Era active' or something along those line - this would make sense since we do have individuals placed in X century.

Era active would just be the era/century we see them in - Amy Pond would be 20th and 21st century whereas as Waitress (Random Shoes) would be 21st century. In other words, we do not base it one age.

Also, is 'affiliation' be a good field to add? MM/ Want to talk? 19:54, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

Infobox Individual
Poor time to ask, but I actually forgot I didn't press "publish" on this page until after your warning.

 * Not sure what was going on with Billy Wilkins either. -- Tybort (talk page) 03:50, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, Revelation of the Daleks (TV story). -- Tybort (talk page) 11:43, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I could sort of see what at least some of the issues were in the code, but I gathered that apart from the bit you specified, I couldn't fix them at the risk of messing with the bot. Same with }. -- Tybort (talk page) 15:34, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Image issue
What do you do about images with the same name but different cases? (File:Bill.jpg and File:Bill.Jpg) Do you put spelt on both, or what? And yes, they do seem to refer to the same Bill. -- Tybort (talk page) 03:41, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Bot removed text from article

Shannon Sullivan
I'm sure I heard you say something about counting Dreamland in the prev/next infobox, but as it's an animation, it doesn't have a production order on Sullivan's site to go into the previously and next produced. Is there any way I could find the dates for when production began vs. the rest of the 2009 specials? -- Tybort (talk page) 11:54, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's okay to do tweaks to the regular previous and next variables, then? I was only adding the made next and made prev, just to be sure. -- Tybort (talk page) 15:32, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was actually referring to your suggestion in organising Dreamland, but yes, lots of syntax errors for whatever reason. It's going to take a while to find them again, but I saw several throughout Pertwee through Colin's pages. Do you want a full list? -- Tybort (talk page) 15:55, March 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Maybe "error" was too strong a word, but whatever it is is definitely not supposed to be there. Maybe it's that (TV story) thing you mentioned? It at least explains what was going on on Survival and Rose.


 * The Ark, The Gunfighters, The Ambassadors of Death, Terror of the Autons, The Keeper of Traken, Castrovalva, Four to Doomsday, The Visitation, Earthshock, Time-Flight, Snakedance, Mawdryn Undead, Terminus, Enlightenment, The King's Demons, Warriors of the Deep, The Awakening, Resurrection of the Daleks, Time and the Rani, Delta and the Bannermen, Remembrance of the Daleks, Survival, Doctor Who (1996), Rose, The Unquiet Dead, World War Three, The Long Game, Boom Town, The Parting of the Ways, The Christmas Invasion (under "next story"), New Earth, School Reunion, The Lazarus Experiment, 42, Human Nature, The Family of Blood, Blink, The Sound of Drums, Forest of the Dead, Turn Left, The Waters of Mars, The End of Time (on top of it having two inputs), Vincent and the Doctor, The Lodger, The Pandorica Opens, The Big Bang, A Christmas Carol (again, on top of the two inputs), Space, Time, The Impossible Astronaut (not including the double-input), The God Complex and The Wedding of River Song. -- Tybort (talk page) 18:56, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

BBV
Hey, how d owe categorize BBV-spinoff images? For instance, would Category:Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough TV story images be acceptable? OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 23:50, March 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, I AM watching an actual copy of the film, but it's not on VHS. and I have actually taken these pictures from the video, so I haven't just taken these images from a random website, no. May I say, it kinda sucks and I wouldn't suggest watching it... It doesn't make much sense and the full-frontal nudity gets annoying... OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 00:15, March 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * What about Destiny of the Doctors? (I changed the main pic by instruction dot do so. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 03:36, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Spelling Error
Hi, I was rewatching Turn Left and I noticed that Rocco Colasanto is actually spelled Rocco Colasanto in the credits. Brynnis talk to me 05:59, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Bot stripping prev/next story, adding dab for better link
The bot made a mistake during this run, on Myth Maker (comic story), changing The Planet That Wept to The Planet That Wept (comic story), the article is at The Planet That Wept (short story). It may have done this on other annuals, which have short stories and comics in the same book.Americanwhofan talk to me 18:07, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

A New Life
A New Life (1976) and A New Life (1978) are now A New Life (1976) (short story) and A New Life (1978) (short story) (but with the customised title). Is that an error? -- Tybort (talk page) 19:45, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes
So, are ALL infoboxes off-limits, or is it just individual and story ones? -- Tybort (talk page) 21:44, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Front page automation
I think keep it as a monthly thing. The quote of the week is short, simple.

But the feature articles are longer and more involved, not all of the articles featured can have info grabbed from the intro, so some need to be written for their feature on the main page. I think that's too much to do on a weekly process.

But even disregarding that element, the feature articles are larger entities, and the articles we link off to need to be of a certain size. I think if we went with a weekly feature article we'd burn through all our articles quite quickly. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:14, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Bot Error
After your bot edited the infobox of Cold War (comic story), changing previous story/next story to just prev/next, prev/next stories didn't appear in the article. They are still in the code, they just don't display. Americanwhofan talk to me 20:13, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

audio story released
Please unprotect Wirrn Isle (audio story).

Cyberman variants
As Cybermen from the Twelfth Cyber Legion seemed to have been agreed to be Mondasian some time ago, could the reference to "A Good Man Goes to War Cybermen" on Template:Cyberman variants be removed from "Other types"? -- Tybort (talk page) 16:20, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

infobox prev/next
On the page for Destination: Nerva (audio story), there is no previous story, but the infobox puts the next story under Previous. Americanwhofan talk to me 20:21, March 19, 2012 (UTC)

Moving links
Out of Time (disambiguation) should really be at Out of Time, while all current links to Out of Time should lead to the Torchwood story. -- Tybort (talk page) 16:29, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Again with the blocking issues?
Well, I was using the wiki clock at the top, and when I tried to edit, it told me that I would be unblocked at 17:55... Plus, this isnt the first time this has happend, there have been many times when you banned me for a day only then to unlock me shortly later, only I still stay unblocked. I think this occurrence even way back to the first time you blocked me. For a similar occurrence, see User talk:OttselSpy25 OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 16:46, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Screwed up images
I'm sure there was a forum thread to deal with this, but I can't remember right now what it was called. Anyway, DWM 290 is all screwed up due to having four infobox images. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:45, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * DWM 413 utilises a slideshow. While not as bad, does it even conceivably work properly under the new coding? -- Tybort (talk page) 22:24, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

RE: DWM COVERS
Hi- sorry been away a bit. You may have noticed I've been revisting some of the early DWM pages. Odd that that was the first thing I started on here lol but thats distractions for you. I've been redoing some of the cover images as I come across them bringing them up to size. I usually go through them in blocks of about 50 - but don't worry they haven't escaped my attention! The Librarian talk to me 03:12, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just checked - BUGGER there's loads! guilty as charged! will review them soon, very soon The Librarian talk to me 03:22, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Sally Sparrow
I gather Sally Sparrow and Sally Sparrow (Doctor Who Annual) are not standard dab. Obviously, the first one should be Sally Sparrow (Blink), but, I dunno, is Sally Sparrow (What I Did on My Christmas Holidays by Sally Sparrow) a bit...much? Or am I just overthinking things? -- Tybort (talk page) 14:41, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

What's wrong...?
Hoover, Quinton K. ORQ response 5 A) Okay, for pics one and two it needs to be Futher cropped and in pic 3 it is blurry and hard to make out.

OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 16:55, March 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * Pic three is also kinda grey looking'... I propably should have turned up the contrast... I'm not at a computer right now, but I'll fix these images when I am. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 16:59, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Companion
There's some strange, unusual appropriations of "companions" under the category. I'll get back to you on which ones specifically I have issue with in a little bit. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:33, March 24, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll get there. Don't worry. Meanwhile, I've found several permutations in brackets that the bot seems to have missed. Deleted several unusual or near-unique ones, but here seem to be the "repeating" ones: (Introduction) (capital I), both (Introduction; joins) (uppercase I) and (introduction; joins) (lowercase i), (introduction, joins) and (departure). -- Tybort (talk page) 22:13, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
