User talk:The Librarian

Hi,
Just to let anyone know I've currently started on Doctor Who Magazine related pages which I hope will be comprehensive (I promise I'll catch up soon).I had to start somewhere but if anyone has suggestions or requests for details they would find useful / interesting or both, please let me know.Hope I can help!

Update: because of the number of links within the magazine pages I've also turned my attention to; I've still a lot to learn and will be revisiting the pages later at some point to fill in some of the gaps so please bare with me, unless you get there first! and thats before I get to the In-Universe stuff!!

Reminders to Myself (following clean-up) The Librarian 20:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Brackets after everything look messy
 * Include ==External links== at the end of every page
 * Have a look at similar pages first!
 * Sets of pages (e.g. TV, Books, CD. Audio and Anthology pages) have an established look
 * Bullet points(*) VS short indentations
 * Dont use too many indentations
 * (` `) italics
 * (` ` `) bold
 * `br` in greater/less than brackets is used to create a new line of the same formatted text
 * REFERENCES relate to in-universe comments and observations.
 * CONTINUITY relates to mainly out of universe comments.
 * Previous/Next boxes in the infoboxes relate to publication order if not sequentially part of a set. Additional terms used could include OCCURS BEFORE / AFTER
 * MINOR EDITS should only be ticked when there is no new or additional information added to a page.
 * Regarding WORD editing:
 * "..." does not translate well!


 * Use the `what links here` on the top left column to explore the topic.
 * Do a search for variants of a missing link (e.g. early episode titles)
 * Article> history> compare edits. Use the compare option to see changes made in the history and pick up tips on punctuation etc.
 * | is used to separate the linking page to what actually appears as text
 * keep the brackets tight!
 * ? little reference numbers
 * (? start and end bit)
 * with a nowiki /nowiki to conceal it!


 * Its probably easier to do than I think!

DWA 45
Hi. I was filling in a page DWA Issue 45 and then realized you're working through these numerically... naturally I realized this right after I saved it. I'm sorry - I didn't mean to step on your toes! I was actually copying the format from one of your pages, although I didn't have as much information as you add. So hopefully it won't be too hard for you to edit the rest of the way. Also, I couldn't figure out a graceful way to include both covers, but I don't really think they need separate issue pages... -- Wendy (talk ) 05:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I just clicked on the article and that format looks pretty damn neat. --Stardizzy? 19:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

hi!
this message will repeat what I just said in the forum, but I just created a new infobox for you to use.

http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Infobox_Novelisation

feel free to change this in any way whatsoever.

also, On Target makes for a good site for external links on each other.

finally take note of "Publisher's Blurb" versus "Publishers Blurb". --Stardizzy? 19:58, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
