Entertainment footer
Hi there -- I'm working on a project for Wikia to help link the science-fiction wikis together, and encourage people to see this as one big site, rather than a lot of little wikis. I'd like to post this footer at the bottom of the main page.

The gaming wikis have started a similar project, and they've seen a lot more cross-traffic. Would it be okay to post this at the bottom of the main page here? You could also feel free to edit it, to fit in better with this community. -- Danny (talk ) 20:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't see too much of a problem with the footer, I'd just suggest that maybe the Hitchhiker's Wiki also be included in the footer.
 * Also where exactly is it located (so it might be edited in the case that other members wish to)? Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't realize that the Hitchhiker's wiki was active again; that's cool. I added it to the footer, and also to the Entertainment hub. I moved a copy of the template here, so you guys can edit it -- it's at Template:Scififooter. Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 12:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Deletion
Why have you deleted a number of quotes were I have placed them, I just want to know why you have done this. Skittles the hog 21:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * There are specific pages for quotes (see Category:Quotes). The story pages deal in facts quantifiable and all that. Quotes, or in particular which quotes merit appearing on a page are based on opinion of their worth. They are fine on pages which are definable as 'quotes' pages. But as the story pages deal in facts they don't belong there, hence their removal. (This is summerised on the Manual of Style page Quotations).
 * There are some exceptions (that shouldn't be exploited just to put quotes onto a page), such as Day of the Daleks or Remembrance of the Daleks to illustrate a 'References' point. Though these quotes should always add to the information rather than just existing (that's what the individual quotes pages are for). --Tangerineduel 12:57, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Skittles
Hi, I was just wondering as you seem to be the guy who owns this wiki, how do you become an Admin? Also could you add the recently created primeval wiki to your list, this is the URL http://primeval.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page, Thanks--Skittles the hog 17:10, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Torchwood Wiki
Hi -- I've been talking to SignorSimon, who created a Torchwood Wiki in December. I think Catherine, who creates new wikis, didn't realize that Torchwood was a Doctor Who spinoff and is already covered here. Simon created some good content, but then kind of lost interest in it. I asked him if it was okay to bring that content over here and close down that wiki, and said that made sense. So Phillip is moving the content over, and then we'll make a redirect so that torchwood.wikia redirects to tardis.wikia. Please let me know if there's any problems integrating the new content.

I'd like to do a Torchwood spotlight starting next week, to tie in with the new season -- and have that spotlight point here. Does that sound good to you? -- Danny (talk ) 18:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah that sounds fine. Just be sure when the info is brought over to maintain the TARDIS Index File's standard (referencing, in-universe for in-universe pages etc), any problems take a look at other TV stories page layouts or Tardis:Format for Television Story Entries (or ask I'm usually around...). Everything else sounds good. --Tangerineduel 01:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, when we looked at it, there wasn't as much as I thought there was -- just a few pictures, and the Gwen Cooper page. So that's done.


 * So, another question: If we're doing a Torchwood spotlight, then there should probably be some Torchwood content on the main page, so people know they're in the right place. What do you think about having some Torchwood stuff in the featured article space, with a picture? Maybe feature the Jack Harkness page? -- Danny (talk ) 18:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Categories
I've got another question... I'm having a hard time figuring out the category structure. There's categories called Stories, Doctor Who Stories, Television stories, Television stories by Doctor and Doctor Who television stories. Within Television stories by Doctor, the stories are called episodes: First Doctor episodes, etc.

From what I can tell, it looks like the categories sort of evolved gradually, with each person adding their own categories without necessarily looking at a larger structure.

So I'm curious about what you think -- I'm kind of a nerd about that stuff, and you may not be concerned about it at all. I'd be happy to work on revamping the category structure, or help with it if other people are interested -- but obviously, I don't want to jump into a big project like that if you're happy with it the way it is. Let me know what you think... -- Danny (talk ) 18:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
