Proposed deletions
Hi I just wanted to let you know that we have a template for suggesting page deletions. If you use it, the page is added to the list of suggested deletions, making it easier for admins to find which pages are suggested for deletion. When you use the template,, after the word deletion you would place a | (vertical bar, sorry I don't know what it's actually called), then write your reason for proposing the deletion. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  20:10, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Didn't I do that with one of the vandalism pages? Cookieboy 2005 ☎  20:36, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Vandals
Hi please don't engage with vandals. They want attention. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  22:50, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Re: Typo in Special:Preferences
I'm not an admin, but I am knowledgeable about this topic which is why I am responding to your message intended for Shambala. You're right that we don't have the ability to edit most of Special:Preferences, but the gadgets tab is actually entirely editable as all of the features on it were added by the wiki instead of being Fandom-wide. In fact, I'm the one who set up the gadgets currently available (with the help of an admin to perform edits to pages that only admins can edit) and so that typo is mine. The relevant page that needs editing is MediaWiki:Gadget-search bar so I'll pass it onto to an admin to get fixed. Bongo50  ☎  15:43, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, I don't know much about how gadgets work. Glad to hear that it'll be fixed (hopefully). Cookieboy 2005 ☎  17:00, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Other users' pages
Hi please note that it is against our vandalism policy to edit other users' pages, whether sandbox or otherwise. Your intentions were good, but if you see something on another user's page that needs fixing, please ask an admin to take care of it thanks Shambala108 ☎  21:57, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * This also applies to other users' comments on talk pages. If you see something that needs to be removed, contact an admin. Shambala108 ☎  14:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Quick question (feel free to delete)
Hi Cookieboy 2005, I added the Batmobile to the category 'Fictional vehicles', and I've just seen that you recently removed this tag. Since I'm new to this wiki and I want to make good contributions, and I was wondering if you could let me know why this tag was wrong so I can avoid making similar mistakes in future? Apologies if this isn't the correct way of getting in touch! Looking forward to hearing back, Dan
 * As it hasn't appeared in content considered "DWU" by the wiki, the fact that the vehicle only seems to be presented as "real" in the game, and the fact that the category "Fictional vehicles" is for DWU fictional vehicles, it seemed no more valid than the Black Pig (which is in "Non-DWU technology"), which also appeared only in "invalid" sources. T:VALID may be a good read for further information. (also the correct way to sign a comment is with " ~ " at the end). Cookieboy 2005 ☎  15:13, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Brilliant, thank you for the explanation and the link! I'll give it a read now :) DanPPower ☎  17:46, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Re: Noat
Edit summaries exist for a reason. Your change had already been reverted before due to lack of explanation and you then went on to make the same unexplained change again. If you see something that you admit is important rather than removing the information completely you should start a discussion on how to work around the issues, such as I did at Talk:Diane Holmes.

Categories
Hi I just want to make sure you are familiar with Tardis:Rule of three when it comes to categorization. Please make sure you don't create categories that have two or fewer items thanks Shambala108 ☎  21:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
