Re: Question
Hi, Shambala108. I created the user blog by accident, and I don't know how to delete it. Can you give me some pointers? CybermanFan ☎  10:26, October 2, 2015 (UTC)CybermanFanCybermanFan  ☎  10:26, October 2, 2015 (UTC)

Moving pages
Sorry about that, it was only because the pages didn't have the first names given in the episode in them.BananaClownMan ☎  14:23, October 4, 2015 (UTC)

Century pages
If events that have specific dates in a century aren't supposed to be mentioned in that article then why are the events of "The Impossible Planet" and "Planet of the Ood" not been removed from the article for 42nd century? I did add those after all. I also don't understand why they wouldn't be. Can you explain this please? Skywalker2255 ☎  20:45, October 4, 2015 (UTC)

Re Re Century Pages
Thanks. I understand now. Makes sense for things like an empire being built in a certain century being mentioned and not a singular Doctor Adventure. Thanks for clearing that up. Skywalker2255 ☎  13:00, October 5, 2015 (UTC)

Edit summaries
My apologies if this is irregular, but as undo edits consist of less than a tenth of my overall edits, I had not realised this was so. My reversion of User:Nahald's edit was entirely a mistake, as I had misunderstood the context. However, I soon located the thread discussing oh policy, and discovered my mistake. I do not always explain my reversion primarily because a large number are simply accidental breaches of policy, addition of extraneous or already detailed information, or deliberate vandalism. I will endeavour to ensure that any users who may be unaware of my reasons will be informed by my summary in the future. RogerAckroydLives ☎  04:05, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

Question
Hi, Shambala!

Say, for example, there was a TV story in 1966 and a creature wasn't named until in the 90s, where it was named in a Doctor Who book. But in 2015, it was referred to in a new book with a completely different name. Would we use a more "up-to-date" name? I'm asking you this because on the Thunderbirds Wiki, me and Guyus24 cannot decide whether to name a vehicle article "Construction Vehicle" or "Highway Pathfinder". I think the second sounds more like the technical term, whereas the first states the vehicle's purpose. What is the site's policy on article names? Sniping is Awesome Speak to the Sniper 08:00, October 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * The information has been very helpful, Shambala.


 * So regarding its name, in the story in which the Highway Pathfinder appears in (End of the Road) the vehicle is never referred to with a noun/technical term (I checked through the transcript). On our wiki, there hasn't yet been a policy for article names. I'm trying to find one from this wiki and adapt it, seeing as how Doctor Who is a big thing, and is likely to have numerous cases similar to the Highway Pathfinder one. So at the moment, we can rule out "story names". If it wasn't named in the story, would names from books or production crew comments take precedence?

Admin help
Need help to solve beginning edit wars between User:RogerAckroydLives and I. Could you help? Discussions are on our talk pages ("Claim"). And also one about Series 9 spoiler. --DCLM ☎  11:26, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Rename and Redirect
Hi there,

I see you're online so I wondered if I could draw your attention to the page Kpachoдap which I accidentally mispelt. It was an error on my side as the capital 'H' that I saw on the sign in its lowercase form is 'н' and not 'h'. I'm a linguist who can read most of the Cyrillic alphabet and I should have spotted it straight away. My bad! I've fixed the names on Before the Flood but require an admin to rename the page to "Краснодар", which is the correct spelling. Also, as the English transliteration is 'Krasnodar', I wondered whether you could create a redirect page from Krasnodar to Краснодар, in case some very clever individual searches it. Thanks for your time! The Farty  Doctor   Talk  00:27, October 14, 2015 (UTC) (P.S. I would have just waited but I'd like to get started on the Welsh version of the article on the Welsh Wiki and link them up)

I've insulted nobody
I don't appreciate how a lively discussion and the correction of another user's false claims is deemed as insulting. I find it quite offensive that you'd consider it as such. If someone has knowledge that ties up a thread neatly, then it should come to the forefront of a discussion. I'm not a horrible person and you suggesting that I am in any way is ridiculous. I've been an active member of this community and have expanded our Wiki into other languages.

I don't wish the final comment on that thread to be an insinuation of anyone's behaviour. I'd appreciate you talking to me on my talkpage, which is what it's designed for. It's a little childish to leave the comment there and then shut it off so I can't respond to it. Thanks for your time. The Farty  Doctor   Talk  19:10, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

Martha Jones Page
Just wondering, why is the Martha Jones page locked? The infobox on that page is the Template:Infobox Individual/Draft and not the regular Template:Infobox Individual that most of the other Individual pages do. Just wondering.

RE: T:off rel
But isn't that also dealing with the American time zone, making it better to wait, as you say, until the top of the hour? --DCLM ☎  23:55, October 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. This example could well go on the policy page. --DCLM ☎  00:15, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Quotation marks
What are those on the title of the "The Doctor" page, if they aren't quotation marks? --DCLM ☎  00:18, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Revisiting Stubs
Hi Shambala108. I did not know of the existence of. Is there a category page for all of the 'stub' templates? Many thanks. CybermanFan ☎  00:25, October 18, 2015 (UTC)CybermanFanCybermanFan  ☎  00:25, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Hi Shambala108.

How do I delete categories? I accidentally added Category:Humans from unknown eras to the Odin (The Girl Who Died) page. Thanks! CybermanFan ☎  11:44, October 18, 2015 (UTC)CybermanFanCybermanFan  ☎  11:44, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Box
I will change it.

How are you anyway, just wanted to ask, you and your fellow admins must have a stressful job?

Block Request
I'm requesting a block on the following user: http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/User:197.88.60.232. They've engaged in some trollish behavior, particularly in the Discontinuity and Plot Holes section. They also added the category "Twats" to Robert Smith?'s page and I've seen no evidence of any repercussions for that. MystExplorer ☎  18:30, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

Class
Hi Shambala108. Is it okay to create a page for Class (TV series), since it was officially announced? I mean, we have a page for Series 9 that gives unreleased information. Thanks. CybermanFan ☎  23:49, October 18, 2015 (UTC)CybermanFanCybermanFan  ☎  23:49, October 18, 2015 (UTC)

How do a ask you to list the correct information for your entry Nollarr (The Girl Who Died)? I am the actor, Murray McArthur, in the picture (red beard with horned helmet). You have the topic still listed as 'Nollarr (The Girl Who Died)" when it should be 'Hasten (The Girl Who Died'). In the episode my character, Hasten, is the one who snaps the sonic sunglasses.

Nollarr (The Girl Who Died)
Hi Shambala,

Please excuse my inexperience on these sites.

I am the actor, Murray McArthur (playing Hasten), pictured under the topic heading Nollarr (The Girl Who Died'. I have been trying to correct the listing. The topic should be amended to read Hasten (The Girl Who Died). The picture (red beard with horned helmet) is of me (not Simon Lipkin who played Nollarr). My character is also the one who snapped the sonic sunglasses in this episode. Please check Imdb.com to confirm what I look like and my credits.

Thank you

Murray (SidBadger)

Sorry about last week, old habit die hard I guess. Rest assured, I am trying to justify my edits and have spent some of the past week practicing how to use the headline box.BananaClownMan ☎  11:28, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

Help
Hi! Sorry to bother, but lacking knowledge of any other form of help, I would like some help finding some way to reconcile myself and User:BananaClownMan. I have found it consistently difficult to reason with him, and would like some aid with trying to find a conclusion suitable to us both. In the past, I have been forced to state my thoughts on the forums, but given that they have so far come to nothing, and that some difficulties I have faced are simply related to "fan reasoning", I would be immensely grateful for some support or information which which will allow the "correct" content to be indicated. Many thanks, RogerAckroydLives ☎  11:59, October 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * The problems seemed to be resolved. However, it would be much appreciated if you could keep a watch out for similar situations arising, as we seem to come into conflict semi-regularly. RogerAckroydLives ☎  12:19, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

Clara and the TARDIS (TV story) Page Move
I just got a message from User:Mentuhotep I this morning. He's moved all the links for Clara and the TARDIS (TV story) and now it's ready for the page move to Clara and the TARDIS (home video). I've been working recently on adding speedy renames to incorrectly and non-dabbed home video releases, but hadn't gotten around to tackling the link changes because there's so many of them and it's a pretty daunting task, so User:Mentuhotep I did an impressive amount of work for that story alone.

Guyus24 has said I am his favourite enemy on his user page, with a link to my userpage. I have done nothing on here to antagonise him, so I just came here to check with you if that favourite enemy part could be removed. My feelings matter, and seeing someone say I am their favourite enemy is something I am horrified at, and certainly don't appreciate.

Noteworthy timeline information
Dear Shambala108,

I was following P&P's guidelines on which timeline information is certain enough and noteworthy enough as defined in that old discussion. To quote from her explanation: To me, the only situations where timeline placement is "certain enough and noteworthy enough" is when [...] or there is out-of-universe information (the inside cover of The Hyperion Empire says it is between Last Christmas and Series 9).

And the part of that old decision (which, incidentally, you had dissented on) that I quoted to her on her Talk page was:If the story's timeline is actually certain enough and noteworthy enough, then mention of it will be made in the lead or story notes section.

So, based on a rule and an explanation of this rule by a soon-to-be admin, I provided links to such out-of-universe information from Big Finish "in the lead". Moreover, in the case of [Blood of the Daleks, the timeline information has already been there before my edit and remained there after your reversal. All I've added was a set-in-stone confirmation from Big Finish.

Perhaps, we could all three discuss the definition of "certain enough and noteworthy enough" again?Amorkuz ☎  07:58, October 28, 2015 (UTC)

Redundant Categories
I had no way of knowing that "Doctor Who directors" was part of the Game of Rassilon since the GoR template is not included on the category page. Plus I don't know of any page that lists which categories are part of the game. Regardless, I don't see the purpose of adding that category to assistant directors' pages as it is a separate job.MystExplorer ☎  15:50, October 28, 2015 (UTC)
