Infoboxes and novelisations
Hi, since you were the one that closed the novelisation thread I thought I'd ask you. Now that novelisations and TV stories have been given equal weight would, for example PROSE: Doctor Who and the Mutants need to appear in the infobox of Ky or would it just be understood that unless mentioned a character appeared in the novelisation as well? Thanks. --Borisashton ☎  21:25, April 16, 2018 (UTC)

Pearl Mackie meta description
The TARDIS Data Core page about Pearl Mackie was vandalised for about five minutes back in February and, somehow, the vandalised version of the page is now stuck in the page's meta description. For reference, google "pearl mackie" yourself, look at the page's source code, or see these screencaps of when I did both of those things myself. If this is something I could edit myself, I don't see where. In the meantime, this is a bad look for a wiki as big as this one. --AeD ☎  19:08, May 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * If I'm asking the wrong person, I'd appreciate at least being pointed in the direction of the right person. --AeD ☎  23:18, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

Category page numbers
Hi again. I noticed that recently categories with multiple pages now have the option to go to the "previous 200" or "next 200" instead of links to the different pages e.g. 1, 2, 3. As I am currently working on the project of image categorisation it is incredibly annoying to click on an image and then go back to page 1 especially with mega categories like Screenshots. Am I doing something wrong and is there a way to reverse it? Thanks. --Borisashton ☎  17:26, May 18, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox Story
Hi. I recently filled the "reprint" variable in the infobox of The Lost Dimension and noticed that the variable doesn't automatically remove the dab term, nor does it italicises the title of the graphic novel. Is this how it's meant to be, or is it a part of the code that needs upgrading? OncomingStorm12th ☎  21:22, May 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Oooh, my mistake ;) thanks for the info on the traded/reprinted stuff. I've now moved the graphic novels of The Lost Dimension to the appropriate variable. As for Titan reprinting IDW stuff, it did happen: a few Tenth and Eleventh Doctor comics, under the The Tenth Doctor Archives and The Eleventh Doctor Archives banners.

Article Headlines
Hi, I'm sorry about the headline issue. Being autistic, I happen to have an automatic need for overarching consistency across these forms of platforms. I'll stop and or correct my errors if this is what you wish, but I've half a mind to give up on what I'm doing on this wiki as it seems I can cause nothing but errors and I'm getting incredibly sick of doing things wrong while I'm trying to make improvements. This is not a slight on the wiki's admin in any way; you guys are just doing your job. I'm just an insecure contributer with good intentions but ideas clearly above his station. BelcherMorganJames ☎  15:37, June 26, 2018 (UTC)

Spoiler-y files
Hi. Just to be sure about the recent changes in Tardis:Spoiler policy: it's now okay to add images and videos (of course, videos uploaded by admins) into series pages? So, for example, a cover added on Series 4 (BFTW) (which isn't finished yet would be okay?). Also, would it be okay to add a frame of the 2018 version of the Doctor Who logo to Series 11 (Doctor Who) (the one now used on merchandise)?

Just asking to be sure, before starting to upload such images. OncomingStorm12th ☎  23:13, July 19, 2018 (UTC)

FANDOM's Conditions of use infraction
Hello CzechOut,

I am from One Piece Encyclopédie (One Piece’s french Wiki). Some users and I share doubts regarding Mihawk Moha’s integrity, and significance he gives to his role as a Bureaucrat. For these reasons, we decided to investigate and check his activities. We noticed that you moderated this topic http://fr.onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Fil:412441#364, for the following motive: Author’s rights (peoples posted links of One Piece’s translation). Mihawk Moha actually admited it (http://fr.onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Fil:413724#191). Whereafter, the staff had removed the link, as the Bureaucrat told you; but only in the first message of every new topic.

Most of users didn't know about the rule, nobody told them afterwards (even if it is, indeed, pretty obvious). Moreover, Mihawk Moha and others kept publishing those kinds of links, every week. Here are some evidences: There’s more if you need, but I guess it’d be useless (anyway, you can ask for more).

In other words, your instructions weren’t respected, this is why we inform you. We hope you can clarify this issue with OPE.

Thank you for your time!

Species article names
I know that there've probably been discussions about this and I'm guessing there's a good reason for it; this is just to satiate my curiosity. I was just wondering why articles pertaining to species like the Daleks and Cybermen are titled after a singular member of the race rather than the collective race, such as naming the Cybermen's page 'Cyberman' as opposed to 'Cybermen' or the Daleks' page 'Dalek' instead of 'Daleks'. I'm sure the admin have their reasons; it's just one of my little queries for clarity. Thank you. :-) BelcherMorganJames ☎  22:33, September 1, 2018 (UTC)

Promoting DWA on TDC
Hey CzechOut!

I see the thread I created last week promoting DWA on the UNIT board got deleted. I know that in the past we've had permission to do so on the understanding that it's up to the discretion of the admins here (1 2). Is there any way we can promote DWA on TDC that we can get you guys' approval for? I've been trying to make DWA more user friendly (renewed de-blue-ed design, Read Next section, maintenance buttons) plus the new series airing now makes me want to try and bring more people in now and build a bigger community.

As a side note, I like the direction of your new design here! It's so much easier to see what's a link now. And nice decision on the gold highlights ;)

Thanks for all your help! 07:03, October 12, 2018 (UTC)

Refusis redirect is helpful
The whole first episode of the Monoids has only talk of "Refusis" - not once is it "Refusis II", even though that is where the settlers land in the end. Killing the redirect is unnecessarily cumbersome for anyone who - like me now with #DoctorWhoOnTwitch - watches the Classics and checks the mentioned planet - which is Refusis, not Refusis II, in episode one. --IrasCignavojo ☎  11:03, January 8, 2019 (UTC)

Admin conduct
Hi,

Don't know where else to leave this, nor how to private message, so I'll just leave this here: I joined today with the intent of participating in thoughtful discussion in order to be able to provide meaningful edits to a wikia I've enjoyed for quite a while.

However, I was instantly met with some incredibly condescending attitude from your admin "Amorkuz", as can be seen in the "Pronoun Use for Time Lords" thread on The Panopticon boards. I fully accept that I was probably wrong about some things and did/do not fully comphrened the wikia policies and the general way things work here (and out of frustration I definetly crossed a line in one of my replies). But, the way this admin acts is no way to welcome new contributors nor guide them on their way into becoming productive members of the community. It doesn't help that in the thread he shows sever lack in reading comprehension, making his behaviour even more of an embarrassment.

Thanks to this toxic behaviour I will be leaving today, only several hours after joining in the first place. Just thought you should know how your fellow admins act, and what kind of message this sends to new people.

Kind regards,

--DW114 ☎  13:37, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Birth/death dates
So, I've been wanting to cleanup birth/death dates for a while. Cleaning up pages like 1966 (people) and 11 February (people) (plus all other year/day pages is "easy" enough to do by hand, however long that might take. All I'd need to do is go to the crewmember page and see if there's a source or not. If there is, the information stays, if there isn't, the information goes).

In a perfect scenario, doing this to all (people) pages would mean the job was done, but the following scenario is probably true to some pages: the crewmember page has an unsourced date (like John Lucarotti once had) but that information is not present on any of the birth/death pages. Unsourced information like this would go "under my radar".

So, after all that, my question is: is there a way for User:CzechBot to "find" such pages? I was thinking in the lines of "if [page X] links to any page with the dab term (people) and has no tags on int, then "flag" it" (to "flag" it could be to save it in a list, or whatever). I'm not 100% sure how bots work, so I don't know exactly what could be done. Anyway, sorry for the long post. OncomingStorm12th ☎  18:25, January 12, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I see. I wasn't so sure there'd be a way for a bot to do what I had in mind (very specific request, indeed) but your dpl suggestion is quite a good start.
 * About checking sources, it's a very good point, and something a could certainly do, but a job easier done after all sources (good and bad) are compiled in the years' pages. I'll probably begin the job on the next few days. Thanks for helping. OncomingStorm12th ☎  22:39, January 14, 2019 (UTC)

Couple of things
Hi, I need your help with a couple of things.

A few days ago, a user moved TARDIS, the talk page, and one of the archives. I moved the first two pages back, but when I tried to move the archive page back to Talk:TARDIS/Archive 1, it didn't work. I assume there's some trick or other when it comes to moving archive pages, but after several tries I couldn't figure it out.

Also, Thread:197794 needs your attention. After a long discussion by several editors on separating the POT stories, you entered the thread to oppose what they were proposing. However, even though the thread was never closed, actions were taken to separate the stories. Whichever way the issue should be resolved, it needs to be done because for now we have editing against policy when a thread hasn't been closed.

Blake's 7 Wiki
I recently started editig the Blake's 7 Wiki and imported (well, tried to) import a few templates and a bit of the Tardis' MediaWiki coding. However, I'm far from an expert in it, and thus there are a lot stuff I'm just clueless about. While some stuff I was able to "learn" from "copy-paste-adapt", some of it I just couldn't get right so far. So, given you're the one who usually implement changes in that stuff over here, I wonder if you're willing to lend a hand over there. If you do, please let me know. Thanks.

Deleted threads
…look, you obviously must have sensible reasons for having deleted the inclusion debate, but might I ask why you're deleting the thread about asking where it's gone? I struggle to imagine why that would be necessary. It was a perfectly civil thread consisting of someone asking a question (and one I'm sure I won't be the only one asking), and other people kindly answering; if deleting the main thread was destroying Gallifrey to end the Time War (apologies if your reasoning is so different from what I'm assuming that this is a completely inaccurate metaphor), this seems more like the Doctor making everyone forget he was ever John Hurt, and it goes without saying that while there are good arguments for the former, the latter is going to require more explaining.

I don't mean this in an accusatory fashion; you doubtless know what you're doing. But we don't, know what you're doing, that is, and we would very much like to know, because I am utterly confused and more than a little dismayed.

(In the fear that any mention of the whole… thing… is what you have for as-yet-mysterious reasons decided to delete (as the similar Señor 105 deletion years ago, of which I heard tell while browsing the Matrix Archives, is my closest point of reference for this), note that I have strategically avoided stating the name of the stories the thread was about or their author. Am I on the right track…? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  21:37, September 12, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply (and for typing the explanation thread so quickly!), but while I now fully understand, and commend, the reasoning behind the deletion of the original thread, I still don't see what warranted the deletion of my thread asking where the original thread had gone — being that it just contained three or four shirt messages at time of deletion, none of which said anything about anyone's RL identity. So might I further impose on your explanatory goodwill…? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  18:06, September 13, 2019 (UTC)

Question
Hi, as the Tales from the TARDIS forum threads are meant for announcements only and not discussion I thought I'd post this question here. I just wanted to clarify whether you meant that the new 10K Dawns thread not to be started for a few weeks is going to build on or begin anew the debate. I fear it's the latter since the original debate will no longer be available to normal editors. Whilst there was some unpleasantness in that thread a lot was covered so I hope we won't have to retread the same steps. Thanks in advance, --Borisashton ☎  22:23, September 12, 2019 (UTC)

Image question
Hi I have an image question that I haven't been able to find anywhere. Actually, it's not my question, but User:Jack "BtR" Saxon asked me and I'm passing the question on to you.


 * "For images that come from the cover of an anthology rather than the cover of a story (e.g. the cover of Dark Eyes 2 rather than The Traitor) how would one cite the picture? Would "AUDIO: Dark Eyes 2" do or something else, do you know?"

Thanks in advance for your help. Shambala108 ☎  01:08, October 17, 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for the quick response. I forgot one part of the question that User:Jack "BtR" Saxon had: what prefix goes with the citation? Is it AUDIO for an audio anthology? Thanks again Shambala108 ☎  01:23, October 18, 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry for barging in, but if I may add another detail on the question: should (or, in fact could) images from anthology covers be used to illustrate in-universe articles. For example, Tales from New Earth (audio anthology) has no covers for each story. Could we use File:Tales from New Earth.jpg to illustate Devon Pryce's page? OncomingStorm12th ☎  01:34, October 18, 2019 (UTC)

Erimem
While I agree with the general principle that covers are useful sometimes but a last resort, I don't really see your point regarding Erimem and Morris. From what I can see, some DWM illustrations do in fact depict Erimem with facial features like Morris's, just with darker skin than Morris has in real life. And, indeed, the example given in the BTS section of a cover image of Catherine Morris as Erimem has such muted, unnatural colors that one really can't tell with any kind of certainty whether her skin is pale or dark.

I think a more obviously-supported-by-sources example might be the First Doctor Adventures covers where they use David Bradley for the First Doctor eve though Twice Upon a Time makes it clear that unlike Hurndall, we're not supposed to overlook the fact that One suddenly looks different: his face has actually blurred a little bit due to his starting regeneration, taking on a couple of Troughtonesque features that make him look like Bradley. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  09:13, October 18, 2019 (UTC)

 * Ah, I had suspected that might have been the situation but it's good to get some confirmation. Well, it'd be great if you could keep us all updated and thanks for the swift reply. --Borisashton ☎  20:49, March 25, 2020 (UTC)

Stuff about the Memeovore
Hi CzechOut,

As of lately I've been heavily contributing to VS debating wikis, where users write battles between fictional characters and base the outcome on who they personally think would win. When doing a google on what characters could stand a chance against Bernkastel (Umineko) I came across a board suggesting the Memeovore from Doctor Who.

From what I read, the character seems very interesting to use, but its nature is pretty confusing to me, as are the descriptions on the wikis. I'm not too big on Doctor Who, but I remembered you're a big fan of it, so I thought you could help me give an idea of what the Memeovore does and how to accurately portray it.

As far as I know, the Memeovore seems to consume definitions and concepts and can send chunks of its "body" through space-time. I also read it can be sealed (It started out trapped in a timeloop if I'm not mistaken), and that the 8th Doctor took care of it by tricking it into being in one chunk of a universe, then snipping that chunk out and whisking it into a void (Please correct me if I'm wrong)?

That's all I (think I) know about the Memeovore, and I'm not really sure if that's correct. If you wouldn't mind, could you give me a rundown of the Memeovore? As in, what powers it has, how it functions, what its weaknesses are, and how I could accurately portray it? Would be highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Picture issue
Hello there,

Re: the most recent conversation I've been having with Shambala, the Welsh Wiki no longer allows users (including myself, the admin), to upload pictures. There's an error message that shows. I was wondering whether you could take a peek into it if you get five minutes?

Secondly - and very much least important, would it be possible to sync the aesthetics of the Wikis so that the Welsh Wiki matches the blue and gold theme that you guys currently rock over here? I'd love there to be uniformity. As I say, it's not important so feel free to ignore it.

Thanks a lot, The Farty  Doctor   Talk  01:29, April 20, 2020 (UTC)

Admin nomination
Hello! Because you're a Bureaucrat, and also simply because you've, I believe, historically been the one who makes the Forum announcement of a new admin nomination, I thought I'd mention that I've now nominated User:Borisashton for adminship. Cheers! --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  17:28, April 25, 2020 (UTC)

Could you unlock Trial?
Years ago, you locked Trial from being recreated because someone had been trying to make it about an unlicensed novel by that title, and as such, T:NO FANFIC applied. However, I needn't tell you that the concept of a trial very famously exists in the DWU. We have a whole category of pages about specific trials — and a whole bunch of redlinks pointing to Trial, per Special:WhatLinksHere — yet no way to create the page about the in-universe concept of a trial that would normally be called for. So, could you recreate the page, that we may make it about the concept of a trial? --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  17:09, May 2, 2020 (UTC)

Companion threads
Hi there! A discussion has broken out at Thread:274134 and already has more than 80 posts in less than a day. It mostly concerns the devising of a system for how the wiki could constitute ambiguous companions. I used your closing post from Forum:Disputed Companions ("Closing as unresolved, because these companion discussions never get clear closure") to outline my reasoning for why there can be no general rule for this and that it should be decided largely on a case-by-case basis, and hence the thread should be closed immediately. I just wanted to confirm that I was using this quote in its correct context and that the (already long) discussion should indeed be closed immediately to prevent everybody from wasting their time. Much thanks, --Borisashton ☎  22:01, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * this is quite rude Borisashton! i pointed out to you that the thread not only "concerns the devising of a system for how the wiki could constitute ambiguous companions" but also the rehousing of several companions from the categories onto the template. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
 * For the record, I have responded to this on DiSoRiEnTeD1's talk page. --Borisashton ☎  22:12, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
 * Never mind, User:Shambala108 has now closed the thread. Thanks anyway! --Borisashton ☎  01:02, May 26, 2020 (UTC)

Slang
Hi there, I was wondering if you could unprotect "Slang" which would allow me to create a page on that subject. The word is used in Doctor Whos?. I know the deletion summary stated that one should go to the Panopticon to recreate it but that was in 2012 and as it has now been used in an actual story, in my opinion, a page on it would be very uncontroversial. Much thanks, --Borisashton ☎  10:58, June 3, 2020 (UTC)

The Lockdown! thread
Hi there, I trust you are well. That's three posts in a row from me, it seems I'm making a habit of it. Anyway, joking aside, I was hoping you had some advice about what to do in regard to Thread:273268 and the technical problems outlined at User talk:Shambala108/Archive 15. Thanks, --Borisashton ☎  00:18, June 21, 2020 (UTC)

Interpretation of an old forum post and T:UNOFF REF
So I know you're quite busy and wouldn't want you to feel like you have to get involved in the entire discussion, but when you have the time, if you could look at Thread:275731 and weigh in specifically on whether my interpretation of T:UNOFF REF and your comments in Forum:Are Blogs valid sources? are correct that would be great! While all comments are appreciated if you want to comment on the rest of it, I fully understand how busy you are so am just asking for clarification on the stuff I'm citing in the thread. Cheers.

New evidence
Hi Czech, hope you're doing alright. I've started another discussion at Talk:Penis about the image, that adds some evidence that was missing the first time. If you could, could you give your opinion? Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎  01:35, July 1, 2020 (UTC)

Question about talk pages
Why are there lines on some talk page sections? --Soulkeeper (Talk | contribs) 19:05, July 2, 2020 (UTC)

I mean, why do saying "say something nice" mean murdering?

Code removal from Common.js
Hi CzechOut,

I came across your huge code removal from German Harry Potter Lexicon's MediaWiki:Common.js. Your recommendation was to use Toogler script even though the removed code wasn't about toggling the CSS display property at all rather than a poorly implemented version of AjaxRC. Or did I get something wrong?

Best regards, Zuri

Update
Hi there. I know I asked you about this in March and I know the world situation isn't much better in some places but I was hoping to get an update regarding the coverage of 10,000 Dawns on the wiki. I realised that yesterday marked an entire year since the drama surrounding it started (not that there's been much since January) so I thought I'd drop you another message. As always, if FANDOM is still backlogged or something due to the virus I completely understand, I just hope to get this dealt with sooner rather than later. Thanks, --Borisashton ☎  13:31, August 27, 2020 (UTC)

Input needed!
Hello! Just popping in to inform you, if you haven't noticed yourself, that a potentially very momentous Panopticon thread, Thread:282038, has been started. It involves closer scrutiny of old discussions in the Old Forums, in which you were a major party.

Hence, one user has called for the people involved in these old debates to please participate, if only to clarify whether the interpretation of those old threads is missing anything important. This is an important issue and a lot of goodwill and scholarly work has been brought to the discussion already; it would be unfortunate if all that time were to be wasted because there's actually some great knock-down argument on the other side that we've all missed, or something of the kind.

Thus, if you could pop in and provide clarification so that the debate can continue with all the facts in hand, that'd be great! --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  20:44, August 30, 2020 (UTC)
