Dimensions in Time thread
I see you like your invalid sources, perhaps you might like to take a look at this thread http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:211495 just here. 82.3.146.201talk to me 18:09, February 25, 2017 (UTC)

Questions
Hello! I was to first off thank you so much for contributing so many fine images to this wikia. Article illustrations are so important, and invalid stories are so often left to the side. I do have a few questions about the stories you've presented, since it appears that you're the only person who has seen many of these.

My first question comes down to the Facebook-only Zygon segments. How much do these adaptations entail? Audio, narration? If so, one could likely make the case that the stories are very much novelisations, and thus should not be invalid. Of course we would need to have a discussion about this, and I am just inquiring on the details of the story in case we ever want to go down the route.

The one that certainly hooks me the most is Christmas Past, which is the second LEGO product to feature DWU characters, and it's also the only DWU Lego product to be produced through stop-frame animation. My question is this: have you seen the suggested original upload which was not part of a collage? The one that was actually called Christmas Past? Surely you must get your info from somewhere.

If you have, what do Clara and the Doctor watch on the TV in the original? The answer to this could be very important, as it could decide if the story is declared an advertisement or not. If they watch an ad, then it simply can't be valid according to our policy (we've, at one point or another, come to the conclusion that ads are not stories). But if they watch something else, then it's a whole other ball-park.

If you see any other story where you think there's the case to be make for the story to be valid despite it being a "sketch" or such and such, hit me up with that info and we can chat over it. OS25 (Talk) 22:18, March 13, 2017 (UTC)

Re: images
Hi! You can always go to Special:Recentchanges to find the specific reasons for deletions. I've deleted a bunch of images over the last couple of weeks, but I believe that the ones I did recently were mostly >100kb, when we require images to be <100kb. I also deleted one that had no license, but I can't remember whose it was. Shambala108 ☎  01:43, March 15, 2017 (UTC)

Infobox Merchandise
Heya :) Thanks for your recent edits. :) Just wanted to let you know, though, that really isn't meant to be used the way you're using it. It's supposed to be for toys, games, wearables, edibles even -- but not for ranges of narratives (or ads or near-narratives).

I'll soon be introducing a new infobox for ranges, but understand that in the past we've implicitly agreed not to have a infobox on pages like Doctor Who and Torchwood. And I'm still not super-convinced it's a great idea on the novel ranges, cause names like BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures aren't actually official.

But that's maybe a slightly different question. Until the new infobox comes in, though, please stop using for describing any sort of narrative/video/advertising range. Thanks! :) 18:19: Mon 24 Apr 2017

New editor bug
Yeah, I can confirm it's definitely weird and a bug. But the code that does that little thing isn't local to Tardis. So I'll have to go on a hunt elsewhere at Fandom to figure out what's going on. It's definitely on the list, if a little lower down. 19:07: Mon 24 Apr 2017

Crossover madness
Okay, let's do this. First of all, there is a very useful page Crossover explaining the concept and giving many examples.

That characters who have set foot in DWU once should not be covered in all their other appearances is detailed in the last post/closing remarks of CzechOut on Sleeze Brothers.

Then there was a follow up with several examples of gratuitous appearances of characters from other properties, also from CzechOut. I'll just copy it here and create some links: Some of our users here at Tardis have been trying for a month or two to make some kind of rule that "if a character is in a DWU property, then prior or subsequent appearances are also in the DWU. But there is no such rule in T:VS. And, in fact, there's precedence to suggest otherwise, as with Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, Jar Jar Binks, and a whole host of others.

The other threads are still open and either too long or a bit too heated. So I'll not quote them here. I do realise that I somehow did not find a clear statement that a crossover character meeting the Doctor should be valid. But this should immediately follow from T:VS and from the multiple precedents. Hope this helps. Amorkuz ☎  23:30, April 27, 2017 (UTC)

Crossover madness
When in doubt, it's always a good idea to ask. As for the closing of the thread, it should be done by another admin, one who did not participate in the discussion. It's not a problem for the thread to stay open though: the stories were explicitly ruled to be valid after another (very short) debate. By T:BOUND, they remain valid until ruled otherwise. In other words, despite our thread remaining open, there is no problem editing the stories. Amorkuz ☎  21:58, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

The Big Bang Theory
Hi, don't worry. I did see that. But Inclusion debates is specifically intended for discussions of validity. Strictly speaking, this thread was off-topic. Such questions should properly be discussed in the Panopticon.

I was interrupted in the process of writing the closing remarks, so left this secondary concern without explicit response. Sorry about that. I will add it to the thread.

Let me, by way of apology, give a more detailed answer to you personally. But essentially the answer is present on the thread. OttselSpy25 perfectly summed up the practice of the wiki: "We can't have a page on every cultural reference to Doctor Who..." This accurately describes the policy of the wiki regarding cultural references.

First of all, an extended cultural reference is still a cultural reference. Whether a story (SitL in this case) is mentioned by name, discussed contentwise or shown onscreen, it is still the same story. There is no material difference between Sheldon saying that he watched SitL and Sheldon actually watching SitL onscreen. In fact, I would say that the former is of more importance since it is almost inevitably the primary focus of the mise-en-scène, whereas a working TV set with SitL on can easily serve as a background to something else.

Secondly, you say yourself that it is unreasonable to cover the whole episode of TBBT, just the part of it with SitL. But it has been a long-standing policy of the wiki to only consider full stories. For valid stories, this is formulated explicitly as the first of the four little rules. But the same principle clearly applies to invalid stories too. After all, given the power to edit out inconvenient portions, one could make almost any story valid. Take, for instance, Thread:209691. If one could remove all features of Chronotis that come into conflict with Shada, the objection of AeD and the final ruling based on it would not have made sense.

In fact, if anything, the coverage of TBBT on Cultural references to the Doctor Who universe should be compactified and consolidated. It is more than adequate and an interwiki link w:c:bigbangtheory:sheldon will always be more informative than any page created on this wiki.

For all these reasons, this proposal wouldn't have merit on the Panopticon. Amorkuz ☎  22:29, May 5, 2017 (UTC)

Capital images

No real world
Hi, I've noticed that you're uploading and putting on pages images that were flashing, usually without context, in the Pyramid and in Monks' broadcasts. I would like to remind you of T:NO RW. In short, you cannot identify a person by the image based on your real-world knowledge. In order to put those images on pages, you need either to use the context (like in the case of Neil Armstrong, where the event is identified by the narrator and there is enough prior DWU information to understand who is in the spacesuit) or you need to compare the image with images of the same person that were featured in the DWU before. In the latter case, however, the new image is in most cases simply redundant in the presence of a superior image. A good example is your image of "Gagarin", which is so fuzzy that it would have been impossible to tell whether it is really him even if other images existed.

I would appreciate if you remove those images that are based on your real-world knowledge rather than DWU information from pages. Thank you in advance. Amorkuz ☎  08:21, June 8, 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, BTS is completely fine and actually useful. There may be some obscure link that would make the connection already. Or it can appear later one. Amorkuz ☎  18:23, June 8, 2017 (UTC)

Categories
Hey, I see that you recently added a category to Category:Cybermen which one would likely see on the page Cyberman. This will not do for a very specific reason.

The point of sub-categories is that it makes placements on pages less redundant. So there's no need to put both Category:Third Doctor TVA comic stories and Category:TVA comic stories on COMIC: The Celluloid Midas. What this means is that every single category branching back all the way through starting with Category:Third Doctor TVA comic stories must apply to said page. This is why Category:11D comic stories does not feature Category:Eleventh Doctor comic stories as a sub-category, as there is at least one 11D comic stories which does not feature the Eleventh Doctor.

Now the problem with pages like Category:Sarah Jane Smith and Category:The Master is that people tend to mistakenly add categories like Category:Companions of the Doctor and Category:Individual Time Lords to them. What this means is that a page like Bubble Shock! end up indirectly being within Category:Companions of the Doctor, or a page like Chang Lee ends up within Category:Individual Time Lords. Thus, for most categories dedicated to sorting other categories by species or person, the only category that can be placed on those pages is Category:Catalogue of Life.

As pages like Telos and Cyber-megatron bomb are within Category:Cybermen, it will never be proper to place Category:Cyborg species within said sub-category. OS25 (Talk) 17:16, June 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Yea, I tried to go around fixing this up where I've seen it, but I think there's a bigger issue at play. I think that most categories that end in "x species" should be renamed. For instance, Bill Potts would fit within Category:Humanoids. She would not fit within Category:Humanoid species. But in the case of something like Category:Cybermen at least, there is no case to be made for keeping the species categories. OS25 (Talk) 17:43, June 14, 2017 (UTC)


 * Oh, quick tip! If you're going to a link to a category put a : before the word Category. So Category:Cybermen links as Category:Cybermen without adding the category Cybermen. OS25 (Talk) 17:52, June 14, 2017 (UTC)

Blocked for plagiarism
Hey, a number of admin have grown concerned over your recent additions surrounding things from the so-called "Leekley Bible". It appears to us as if you may have simply cut and pasted copy directly from Shannon Sullivan's website. This is strictly disallowed under T:THEFT. Worse, T:THEFT specifically names Shanon Sullivan's site as one that shouldn't be copied. Shannon's site isn't published under the same kind of license Tardis is, and their content isn't freely available for us to copy.

Therefore, just as universities will come down on you hard if you plaigiarise, so, too, must we. Your recent work will be audited, and probably largely removed. And you will be prevented from editing until 23 November 2017. Please note that several admin arrived at this decision, jointly -- both in terms of determining that plaigiarism occurred and what the length of the block should be. 20:03: Fri 23 Jun 2017

RE: video
Thank you. I did scan the video (did not rewatch the whole thing) before uploading, and didn't find the mention of a future Doctor. The video has been deleted, and will be uploaded again when that information is no longer a spoiler. Thank you again for coming to me. 00:09, November 27, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for defending the wiki from overly aggressive users. In order to improve our coordination in the future, a couple of points. It is more efficient to notify an admin on their talk page than to continue undoing edits. If need be, the edits can be reverted at any time. So, unless the new state of the page makes babies cry in their prams and birds fall from the sky, it is not necessary to return the page to the original state right on the spot. What needs to be done is to suggest a discussion on a talk page and notify an admin. What should be avoided (and was avoided in this case, which I am very happy about) is replying in kind and making too many undo edits. Note that if one user makes 4 edits and the other user undoes them 4 times, then both have engaged in an edit war and both are likely to be blocked. As I said, it did not happen this time, but you came very close. Make sure to always keep a cool head. Amorkuz ☎  23:10, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

User talk pages
Hi, I'm asking you to refrain from adding the "unsigned" template on user talk pages. It's fine to do it with article talk pages, but please leave the unsigned comments on user talk pages alone.

Re: Wikipedia template
Hi! Thanks for your concerns about the template.

Basically, the wikipediainfo template is best used for real world articles (people, places, culture, etc etc etc) that we don't know a whole lot about in the DWU and therefore can't include in our articles. If someone really wants to know more about, say, the Dancing House, beyond what we include on the wiki, they can go to wikipedia for info. This helps to avoid speculation on this type of page and to avoid people going beyond what the stories tell us.

As for the fictional elements of the DWU, though, like you say, our articles are superior to wikipedia's (and probably most other sites on the internet). We don't want people leaving the wiki to get information when they can get it here.

As for your specific question, The Doctor (The Girl Who Loved Doctor Who), I don't know anything about that story, but I can't imagine that wikipedia would necessarily even have an article about that character (they have notability guidelines that we don't), but if they do, it still probably wouldn't be as thorough as ours.

And P.S. thanks for the heads-up about the vandalistic pages. Shambala108 ☎  23:54, March 26, 2018 (UTC)

Infoboxes and novelisations
It's understood that if an individual is in a TV story they're likely in the novelisation as well. For those rare cases where a character is only in one or the other, then the body of the article should explain that, for maximum clarity. 21:46: Mon 16 Apr 2018

Categorising images
Just wanted to drop in and tell you that I appreciate your hard work on this project. This is not to say that your other work is any worse, but the lack of character categories is something that I myself noticed too but did not have time to address. So kudos and thanks. Amorkuz ☎  22:52, April 23, 2018 (UTC)

Time Lords with unknown names
Hi, I notice earlier today you added Category:Time Lords with unknown names to a lot of incarnations of the Doctor. However, it might come to interest that the category is defined (on it's page) as "This category is not for pseudononymous Time Lords, but for Time Lords who are never named in-story.". This means that, even if we don't know the Doctor's true name, we do know a name (a pseudonym) for them.

I believe the category is meant to be used for Time Lords such as President (Birth of a Renegade), Time Lord 2 (Colony in Space) and Adjudicator (Thin Ice), who we know literally no name at all, and the page is named by their rank, profession, or simply the fact that they're Time Lords.

 * Yeah, I decided to wait until a "discussion"/chat, (recent edit wars were stressful enough that I'm trying to avoid them at any cost) and now it seems Shambala108 beat us to it. Anyway, thankfully this was another situation that was easily fixed. OncomingStorm12th ☎  20:40, April 29, 2018 (UTC)

Death Hoax
I was upset at first. But... It was just Death Hoax. https://en.mediamass.net/people/tom-baker/deathhoax.html

Category page numbers
Heya :)

As you likely know, the previous 200/next 200 link is the standard way that category pages work on MediaWiki installation. The explanation given at Wikipedia's help page applies here:
 * A category page can only display a limited number of items (currently 200). If more pages belong to the category, there will be a link to the next ones. (emphasis added)

We've never had page number links of the kind you described here at Tardis. Like many bigger wikis — for example, Wookieepedia and Memory Alpha — that system isn't as useful just because we've got way more articles on hand. Because it also contains an image component, it can make a category turn into a multi-page affair when it doesn't need to be. So we long ago rejected it in favour of something that's generally more useful to our needs.

We use a script on Dev Wiki that allows for the display of more than 200 pages on a single category page, so that you don't have to flip between category pages. For instance, 20th century individuals is a category with close to 5k members. But instead of having to flip through the pages and guess where the Ts are, it's all on one page. Given that there are also double alpha-indices on the page, it's super easy to find whomever you're looking for — way better than the page number system you're describing.

However, you have run into a limitation of the script. See, screenshots doesn't house pages so much as media. The script doesn't see media as pages — so it's not at all triggered on that category page. And it never has been.

This means that media categories have always just had the standard previous 200/next 200 link at the top. To the extent that we've ever needed to manipulate these image categories — which is to say, not much at all — we've simply used a bot. It's pretty easy and painless — and it preserves the all-on-one-page feature for the categories most of our readers care about.

So if you'll give me more information on what you're trying to achieve, I'm happy to give you some bot help, or possibly design a DPL or solution. 19:09: Fri 18 May 2018

Missing episodes
Sorry to butt in. But I'm not entirely sure I understand your reasoning. Just because there was an animated or telesnap reconstruction doesn't mean all missing episodes are found. They are still missing. Why are you removing these categories? Can we talk about it? Amorkuz ☎  15:21, July 31, 2018 (UTC)


 * I see. Ok, let's think about it. I'm gonna apply philosophy to database maintenance now, pardon my Aristotle. On the face of it, you are right. All serials of Season 4 have missing episodes. But they do not necessarily have missing episodes. In other words, nothing in Season 4 (barring voodoo or Doctor's divine intervention) implies that these serials are incomplete. It is a complete coincidence, a contingent truth. So, philosophically speaking, we should not put Season 4 within the missing episodes category.


 * But there is a more practical reason not to do this. Call me an optimist, but imagine that all missing episodes of one of the serials are found. Normally, this would necessitate removing the missing episodes category from the serial page and done. But now this would require to remove the missing category from the Season 4 category, while at the same time adding it to all other serials of Season 4. This is a non-trivial maintenance operation that you yourself (or maybe I) might remember in a couple or years or not. But I am almost sure that nobody else would be able to figure out that this is what needs to be done. In other words, while the current set up is correct, it is not stable modulo potential incoming information. And it will almost certainly lead to an incorrect state if this information arrives. It also creates non-uniform, multi-level representation of missing episodes, which is not necessarily good for data mining.


 * If you agree with my reasoning, could you please revert it to missing episodes category applied only to serials? If not, I'm happy to listen to your reasoning. Amorkuz ☎  15:37, July 31, 2018 (UTC)

Human spouses
Hey, I noticed you are populating this new category. My sincere advice is to run it by Shambala108 first. It would be a pity if you do a lot of work that she then deletes by putting a lot of work.

Category:Spouses
Hi, Category:Spouses (and the related Category:Time Lord Spouses or other similar) violate point one of Tardis:Don't over-categorise:


 * "Are too broad — People who at one time lived on Earth; Actors from the United Kingdom; Stories that include the TARDIS, and the like. Since all of these are extremely common virtues in the broader DWU, the category would add relatively little of value to the page. Moreover, the category would be very hard to ever complete."

We stay away from very broad categories because it would be way too hard to completely fill the category, and even if we could, it would be way too large to be of use. Category:Spouses of the Doctor is not a problem, as it refers to spouses of just one character: much easier to fill and it fits in another similar category, Category:Relatives of the Doctor.

Loci and perambulations
Thanks for double checking. I think we stumbled upon an issue that has not been resolved. You see, I did the exact same thing: spot-check and did not find a single vehicle marked as a "location visited by ... Doctor". Rather hilariously, I also checked Bessie. But also places like Valiant, SS Madame de Pompadour and Winton. But you are right that many are assigned to this category. What this means is that some editors think it applies and others think it doesn't. I myself considered whether to apply it, so I can see why people do it. Let me explain my hesitation about it. A location is supposed to be static and vehicles aren't. It is ridiculous to call Bessie a location as it is small, open and can be anywhere (including inside the TARDIS). As the vehicle size grows, the location monicker starts making more sense, but whether it passes the non-ambiguity criteria is a question. I thought about it and my first idea is to create a separate category Category:Vehicles visited by the Doctor with all respective subcategories. What do you think?

 * Great, just let me think a bit more about the title. Visiting vehicles is a bit weird. Amorkuz ☎  23:04, November 22, 2018 (UTC)

Thumbnails and category display
Thanks for the bug report!

Basically, all that's happened is that when the new category display system came online, it weighted the top-most (qualifying) images in the article as equally valid. Sometimes, but certainly not always, it chose the one in the body of the article over the infobox.

And for a lot of pages on a lot of wikis, that's really not an issue at all. A lot of times the highest-placed image in the body of an article is just as representative as the infobox image.

In those instances where the picture choice makes less sense, the fix is easy.

Basically, ya just edit the page again, and the infobox image automatically gets chosen. No biggie at all.

(But if you run into real stubbornness, you can temporarily remove the image you don't want it to have selected, publish the page without that image, then undo your removal. See this diff at Jack Harkness.)   01:30: Mon 24 Dec 2018

Haemovore
I recall reading about Sam Kent-Smith possibly being an uncredited Haemovore in Curse of Fenric, but I think someone added this on IMDb or Wikipedia without a source. Is there a reliable source which can verify this, otherwise we might remove it? --EpsilonGamma ☎  13:17, December 30, 2018 (UTC)
 * I found this one link, however I don't think it can be considered reliable. http://www.shannonsullivan.com/drwho/serials/7m.html

Maybe one of the book sources the site uses might shed some light. --EpsilonGamma ☎  13:24, December 30, 2018 (UTC)
 * If the wiki considers it reliable then it should be fine. If we can find the sources that the site used to verify it then that'd be really helpful. Doctor Who: The Handbook: The Seventh Doctor, Doctor Who: The Eighties, Doctor Who Magazine #225, “Archive: The Curse Of Fenric”, Doctor Who Magazine Special Edition #10, “Ride On Time”, In-Vision #103. --EpsilonGamma ☎  13:33, December 30, 2018 (UTC)

Re: hangar page
Hi, we already have a Hangar page, so any instances of hangars can go on that page. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  03:41, January 5, 2019 (UTC)
