Welcome back
Welcome back, nice to hear from you and good luck in your future edits. Skittles the hog-- Talk 19:15, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

It probably wont work as wikia images are commonly faulty. This means that they may not save over each correctly and so the image will have to be changed anyway. However, you can easily edit it by hand at Template:Doctor_Who_Wiki/Comics, just upload each issue under a separate file name. DWM is up to date at the moment but DWA isn't. Hope this helped.

Go to the link I posted above and edit it. You should be able to work it out from there. If not, message me again. Skittles the hog-- Talk 15:58, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

I will hold you to that :) Skittles the hog-- Talk 16:05, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

Maintenance images
Heya :) Thanks for your enquiry.  I appreciate the frustration you may be experiencing in trying to replace maintenance images, but the lock is justified because the image has a technically precise usage.  It may seem like you have a great new image, but unless you have considered the precise dimensions or transparency of your image, it may unexpectedly alter the template on which the image is used.  The lock isn't in place to stop people replacing the image.  It's just there to make people really think about what they're doing.  I'm happy to change images, but it does need to be vetted for its technical suitability. Please post the image you'd like to replace the image with to my talk page, and I'll actively consider it for replacement.   17:10:04 Sat 09 Jul 2011
 * Hi again :) Thanks for submitting your two new images.  I've accepted and implemented one, but am rejecting the other.  File:Virgin.png is obviously an improvement over File:Virgin logo.jpg inasmuch as Template:Virginbookcover is concerned.  Obviously we want all these images to be transparent if possible.  Problem is, though, it's only about 200px, which is too narrow for use at Virgin Books.  file:Virgin logo.jpg was doing double duty as both the template logo and the article logo.  So what I've done, for now, is change to your transparency for the template, but otherwise left the old logo intact.  Obviously the best solution would be to make the original .jpg into a transparency, because it's a nice 400px wide, which allows it to be used in all situations.


 * The IDW logo is another matter entirely. I just flatly don't see it as an improvement over File:IDW Logo horizontal.jpg.  Yes, it's nominally transparent, but what does it matter with a rectangle, really.  Also, it's again too narrow for use on pages.  From a design standpoint, it's better that the logo in a rectangular box like a license template be also rectangular.  The current image can be used successfully in both the template and the page. So, yours, though more colorful, is just the wrong dimensions all round, I think.


 * Thanks very much for your submission, and please do keep 'em coming! 19:26:10 Sat 09 Jul 2011
 * Nah, I don't like your latest.


 * I mean I get where you're coming from. It's transparent, so it'll kinda "pop".  But it's just . . . boring.  Plus, in this one instance transparency is overruled by the fact that a) there's the IDW light bulb device — which is cool — and b) the background of the current image ties in to the blues of the site generally, and the "glowy" license box specifically.  What it lacks in transparency, it more than makes up for in its proud DW color scheme.  So, no, nothing worth changing.  Still, if you wanted to strip the background of the current logo and have a transparent version of it, I'd certainly take a look.   10:53:45 Sun 10 Jul 2011
 * To keep ya in the loop, here's how the Virgin thing all went down. I deleted every red Virgin logo currently on the site.  Then I changed the name of file:Virgin-500px.png to file:Virgin Logo.png.  Since the dimensions were practically the same as the original file:Virgin.png that you uploaded, it slid right into the template fine, and I was able to use it on Virgin Books.  One image, multiple uses.  I then completely locked it down, added maintenance and promotional (since it's a logo), and there we are.  Thanks for your hard work in improving this image. (Oh, for a while it'll look like there are blue links in this paragraph when there are none.  The ghosts hang on, like in Silence in the Library.  The only file remaining is file:Virgin Logo.png.)  12:09:15 Sun 10 Jul 2011

Background image
You don't have the ability to physically change it yourself. Only admins can change it. This isn't our rule, but simply the way the Wikia software is set up. But you may certainly submit a proposal at Tardis:Background image submissions. Please follow the instructions at Help:Background images. Also, it must be themed around Torchwood: Miracle Day. (If you don't want to do a Torchwood image, that's cool. You can submit to a later quarter.)  I look forward to your submission(s). 08:30:01 Sun 10 Jul 2011

Sysop
The Tardis:User rights article, which is located on the Tardis:Help page has some information to start and then the user rights page also has a link to a more specific Tardis:Questions and guide to requests for adminship. --Tangerineduel / talk 17:13, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Cite pics please
When placing pics — especially those involving behind-the-scenes personnel such as Matthew Graham — it's extremely important to provide a citation, so that viewers know the origin of the pic. A good phraseology for such captions is " as he appeared on CON: Episode Name (or DOC: Documentary name)".

See examples at June Hudson, John Nathan-Turner, Ed Thomas and Michael Pickwoad — each of which have the citation done slightly differently so as to demonstrate the wide range of possible sentence structures. Point is, get the name of the episode/documentary/event in there, somehow, some way.

Thanks :) 15:33:45 Sat 16 Jul 2011
