Thanks for that, if possible can you send me a message telling me how to do that so i don't make the same mistake in the future

Right, when you edit a page you want an image in, if its rich text editor (posh version) then click on the green box and click edit. from there you have the image box to type in, an example of what to put there is File:Hoothi.jpg|250px with  around each side of text. on source edit just paste File:Hoothi.jpg|250px into the image slot in the text based infobox. Revanvolatrelundar 15:22, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

I also mean when entering text as i added the The Company of Friends bit and that was what messed it up AdricLovesNyssa

right ok, i think you mean the link ot a story, if so the simple way to do it is e.g. putting around the BFA no link around the : and a  . Revanvolatrelundar 15:30, September 1, 2010 (UTC)''

just moving ths over to your page so that you can get easier acces when you make edits Revanvolatrelundar 15:32, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks AdricLovesNyssa 

BTW the link box on rich text editor has been playing up today and this may have been the cause of some of your link problems. Revanvolatrelundar 15:36, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Please remember to add an image license. ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 15:10, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Rememeber!
Please remember when creating pages for actors:


 * To insert the correct categories.
 * To insert, in italics, the name of the show they appeared in e.g. Doctor Who
 * The heading external links
 * A link to the character IMDb record OR
 * Stub it as.

Thanks. MM/ Want to talk? 18:17, December 29, 2011 (UTC)

Categories
When creating pages, make sure you add the correct categories. Thanks. MM/ Want to talk? 16:38, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
Thanks very much for adding coverage of characters from Big Finish works. This area definitely needs attention. However, please make sure that you are adding categories to newly created pages. If you move on to a new page without properly categorizing the first page, you'll tend to forget to go back and categorize the first page. This, in turn, means the page will kinda get "lost" and end up on Special:UncategorizedPages. 15:39: Mon 09 Jul 2012

Spacing
Hi there. Please can you leave a space between the prefix and the story name on articles. I've been through dozens of your edits sorting it out now. It should be (BFA: Zagreus) and not (BFA:Zagreus). Thanks. --Revan\Talk 17:13, July 9, 2012 (UTC)

Whoa there, partner
You've successively created several pages with the exact same error, so I need to block you so that I can explain what you're doing wrong.

In infoboxes, is — at least for now — what's called a "non-linking" or "freeform" variable. This allows you to put in several different stories. But you must remember to manually link and italicize them, like this:


 * appearances = TV: Colony in Space, The Mind Robber

So if you're going to use that variable:
 * 1) There must be more than one story
 * 2) You have to remember to italicize and link the stories

Please make sure you read MediaWiki:Community-corner. 17:02: Fri 13 Jul 2012

Request
Hi there. I passed your request onto CzechOut since he his our technical administrator. I hope he can help. --Revan\Talk 20:17, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Infobox Individual
There's nothing "broken" with this infobox that needs fixing. As the documentation for makes clear, the  variable expects one and only one answer, so therefore it automatically links the name. The variable allows for more than one response, so therefore it requires you to make your own linkages. This is why the text next to "Main actor" in the example infobox is red, while the text next to "Other TV actors" is blue. Red means it's linked (and is finding no article by the name of "Name of the primary actor to play this character on television")

With any of these infoboxes, the example on the documentation page immediately shows you which variables auto-link and which require you to do the linkages manually. There may come a day when I'm able to come up with some way to make all variables auto-link, but don't hold your breath.

For the moment this infobx is working exactly as intended with these variables: forcing editors to pick one thing in some cases, allowing them to enter a more free-formed response in others. 21:11: Sun 15 Jul 2012

Great Mother (Zagreus)
While editing Great Mother (Zagreus), I noticed that there seems to be a missing clause. As you wrote the article, I would appreciate it if you went in and added the missing bit. Boblipton talk to me 13:24, July 18, 2012 (UTC)

Timeline deletion
Hey, thanks for helping with this. Just so people know why you're deleting it can you leave this Forum:Timeline deletion in the edit summary along with your description. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:38, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Will do, as i have time on my hands before i go to uni. AdricLovesNyssa 15:40, September 5, 2012 UTC


 * Hey, one quick fix, I included the nowikis around it so you could copy without checking my text. Don't include the no wikis. Just add this: Forum:Timeline deletion. Or if you want to be exact. Deleting Timeline per Forum:Timeline deletion . Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:50, September 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey. The link is quite important. Copy and paste it in if you want (it's how I do it). The last few have been redlinking as you've got Forums instead of Forum. It's as I've said so people can follow why you're deleting it. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:49, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Your signature
Hey, not quite sure what you've done to your siggy. But if you're trying to embolden your own name, it'll be better in the long run if you abandon the  tags. Better just to do it with wikitext instead of HTML. So try instead. You might want to give Help:Signature a gander, too. 03:37: Sat 08 Sep 2012

Hopefully this version works, though couldn't get the colours to work. AdricLovesNyssa 16:42, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Images
Hey, thanks for trying to add to our library of cover images! Unfortunately most of your recent additions to our BF cover collection had to be deleted because they were over the 100kb max file size. If you'd like to resubmit after reducing their file size to something below 100kb, please feel free. This restriction, not often imposed by wikis, is of great benefit to our mobile users and those with slower bandwidths. Following is a summary of the most important image rules, but please be sure to stop by T:GTI and T:ICC as soon as possible to make sure that your future contributions aren't summarily deleted. Thanks :) 14:56: Mon 01 Jul 2013

Recent edits
Hi! Quite a few of your recent page creations have had to be edited, and I wanted to give you a couple of suggestions. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  15:10, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Please use the "preview" button before you hit " publish". Many of your pages had errors that are easily noticed when previewing the page first, such as minor spelling and grammar errors, forgetting to pipe-switch the title, forgetting to italicize.
 * Please do not pipe-switch a specific incarnation of the Doctor to "the Doctor". This is actually a policy, that you can read about here.


 * Sorry, there's one more thing that I forgot. When a character only appears in one story, use the "only" appearances variable in the infobox. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  15:17, July 11, 2013 (UTC)

Creating new pages
Hi! I just wanted to remind you that when you create a new page, you need to add at least one category. If you can't think of one, you can do a search at Special:Categories. Please check the categories I added to your recent page creations to see how I've categorized them and verify that they are correct. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  14:43, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Rat Trap pages
Hi! Is there a reason you named Kevin (Rat Trap) and Matthew (Rat Trap) with the dab term instead of their last names? In general if a character has a last name we use it as their page name, but I wanted to check with you first before changing it, as I don't have the audio. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  16:12, August 2, 2013 (UTC)

I created the pages as how the red links were on Rat Trap (audio story) before I created the pages. I left them like that as there last names where only said one in the whole of the audio and I rechecked the pronunciation but the spelling I'm not sure off. We can change them if it makes it easier in the catogue of the whole wikia AdricLovesNyssa 16:24, August 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Gotcha. For now I'm going to remove the last names, and if you or anyone else get confirmation of the spelling, we can move the pages then. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  00:16, August 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm gonna countermand Shambala here. The fact that these names are only said once is irrelevant.  If they're said, they should be in the name of the article.  Dab terms are to be used only as a last resort, when no other name is possible. If you don't know how a last name is spelled, you should make a best guess and then leave a behind the scenes note and say that the fact that the name is only said once on audio makes it difficult to know if the spelling is correct. In a case where spelling of the last name is uncertain, then there's no problem leaving a redirect from Kevin (Rat Trap) to Kevin WhaeteverHisNameIs.  But every effort should be made to include at least a reasonable phonetic spelling of their full name, if it's at all said in a story.  A wrong, but phonetic, spelling — which is clearly marked as possibly wrong in the behind the scenes section — adds more to the wiki's knowledge base than holding back on the off chance that the script is ever published.  Since Big Finish have largely stopped issuing scripts, there's not much chance that we'll ever get an "official" spelling of a newer play like Rat Trap.  18:25: Sun 11 Aug 2013

Project: Whatever pages
The template explaining what's up with the missing colon on pages like Project Twilight (audio story) was pointing the issue was pointing to the wrong page. That's now been corrected, and it's easy to get a full explanation by clicking on that link, which takes you now to T:NAMING. Thanks for asking your question, which pointed up the need to fix the link.

Short answer to your question: not possible to fix. Limitation of the software. Project Twilight (audio story) stays where it is. 18:17: Sun 11 Aug 2013
