LEGO Dimensions
I had read those threads, though not in a while. What I meant was the fact that nearly every other franchise in LEGO Dimensions (if not all of them) are not set in their respective universes, which inclines me to think that Doctor Who isn't either— but it still could be. There also was this article with a quote from the developer that implies LEGO Gandalf believes he is the Gandalf even though he isn't. But anyways, thinking about it more it's not clear if this even applies to Supergirl Meets E.T., which I think was the point of the change in policy (although I'm not sure where that was, was it lost in the botched forums transition?)

Re: Please ask around
To be honest I am slightly confused, I didn't bring anything onto this Wikia. I simply linked the Selachian page to the story page that already existed. The information was already on the Selachian page, but neglecting a link. PoolsideJazz ☎  14:57, October 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * I still think that I was correct in my assessment of Winter's View. The story features reference to the Empress of the Needle as well as Looms. Two of the main characters are intended to be Time Lords by the author (described as Chronarchs and later "Lords") and there is also a reference to The Enemy. PoolsideJazz ☎  15:50, October 27, 2020 (UTC)
 * They had the license to use Miranda two stories later, from the same release, so I think it goes without saying that they had a license to reference her earlier. PoolsideJazz ☎  16:08, October 27, 2020 (UTC)

IP Vandal
An IP named 1.52.47.91 has vandalized the Laws of Time article (one edit being racism). Can you please block that IP?

DiS drama
We both left messages on the Scrooge McDuck wikia, (I at least since you said that's where you preferred to be reached for non TARDIS stuff). Najawin ☎  17:47, October 28, 2020 (UTC)
 * Topical heading, different drama. Looking at the block log around the same time it seems to be a suggestion that User:Tazmin, User:TazminDaytime, and User:DiSoRiEnTeD1 were all the same person. (Not that I'm aware which account violated T:NPA to get Czech involved, or how he made this determination, but that seems to be the claim.) Najawin ☎  23:40, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Lockdown!: The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Your proposal as stated at Talk:Doctor Who: Lockdown! sort of threads the needle in a weird way, stating both that we cover it like the Fan Show, while also explicitly stating
 * However, I see no reason not to have a page about it as a "(documentary)".

Whereas the Fan Show has a webcast dab term. And our discussion had morphed into "should a collection of ontological primitives be counted as a documentary", so, fair point that there's some nuance, but I can only say so much in an edit summary, and I felt what I said reflected where the discussion had left off, even if it, again, never really resolved itself.

SpookyUCP
So, since we're all going to be screaming in agony soon enough, and our forums will once again be in disarray. Also on the chopping block is our beloved Recent Wiki Activity. I wasn't sure who to share this with, whether just an admin or Tangerine/Czech, but I figured I'd pass along a script I saw on community central that seems to reimplement RWA for the update. While it does seem to have bugs, probably can't hurt to try it out. Najawin ☎  01:40, November 1, 2020 (UTC)

Curator timeline reply
Oh, no hard feelings about the ban, mate. In fact, I was just on my way to thank you for alerting me about the plagiarism rule regarding Sandboxes when you did. I could have dug myself into a bigger hole there. I guess the problem was that I have no problem with people editing my own sandboxes hat I didn't register that other users would feel different. Heck, before you stopped me, and when I was getting an "edit high", I was thinking about merging the infomation on your sandbox page to the official Dr. Who (Dr. Who and the Daleks) page, since it covered the topic so well. Who knows how much trouble I could have gotten in there. As for the ban, well, I'm man enough to do the time after the crime. The important thing is that I learnt my lesson and hopefully won't be a repeat offender.

As for my recent edit on The Curator; I'm unaware of any "timeline-theorising bann[ing] in the main namespace"? I just thought it made more sense to have the Gallifrey Falls No More information closer together, since they'e both "off-screen" affairs. Then I just moved Canaries up on the fly because it was also mostly "off-screen".BananaClownMan ☎  22:36, November 2, 2020 (UTC)

Behind the scenes
Hi, I'm asking this question here as it seems that the general consensus at Talk:Doctor Who: Lockdown! and the previous Lockdown! threads are that those stories shouldn't be on the COVID-19 so it's kinda off-topic to the current line of conversation.

As an admin, could you confirm that a behind-the-scenes section can indeed be created for issues not relating to the Lockdown! debate? I'm specifically thinking of a bunch of Big Finish stories here, of which there is documentation for releases that were both recorded during and delayed because of the pandemic. --Borisashton ☎  16:41, November 3, 2020 (UTC)
 * Will do. --Borisashton ☎  17:10, November 3, 2020 (UTC)

Fanfiction
I'm slightly confused regarding the rules of fanfiction on this site. Earlier today you edited rules on Fanfiction but have since added redlinks to fan material released as part of Doctor Who: Lockdown!. Was this an oversight on your part, or is some fanfiction accepted? PoolsideJazz ☎  20:32, November 7, 2020 (UTC)
 * Just seen your explanation on the talkpage. Thanks! PoolsideJazz ☎  20:38, November 7, 2020 (UTC)

Fair enough
I definitely did not intend it in that manner, but was more making a comment about how the tread has petered out from lack of engagement. (I was well aware that Epsilon had commented, so wasn't being snarky in said manner.) Definitely understand the reading in retrospect though, and will be more careful. Najawin ☎  23:52, November 8, 2020 (UTC)

Cosmic Masque
Do you know if we should cover Cosmic Masque on this site? It is a fanzine which features interviews, reviews and fiction. One story from the first issue features Iris Wildthyme and Panda. PoolsideJazz ☎  15:48, November 9, 2020 (UTC)

Potential vandalism
When you have the time, can you have a chat with User:Bridget Sinclair about their edit history? At the very least they're repeatedly violating T:GTI after an admin told them to stop, and multiple other users have been reverting their edits, since they're constantly replacing pictures of members of LINDA with those same members once part of the Abzorbaloff. User:Cool11guy12 expressed concerns at SOTO's talk page, but I figured that giving you a prod might be faster. Najawin ☎  19:02, November 10, 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, your chat didn't seem to work. Najawin ☎  19:58, November 11, 2020 (UTC)

Chat
Can I get you to join me in Special:Chat instead of Disco? Thanks! 19:19: Tue 10 Nov 2020

Forums
Since you and Czech discussed the issue of closing forum threads, did you ever end up rewriting out the closing post for Thread:271132 like you did at User:Scrooge MacDuck/The Lost Closing Post? Currently Category:Non-heterosexual individuals links to the old discussion post which was deleted, so it doesn't help anyone understand the context. (And if not, we're obviously in no rush, it's been this way for over a month, we can wait a bit longer still.) Najawin ☎  20:16, November 10, 2020 (UTC)

DWBIT Dalek Wars
Since the forums are closed!, I'll let you know here that I've compiled a longer/fuller list of pages which should be restored relevant to Thread:264328. PS I'm having two factor authentication issues locking me out of accounts, I'm hoping to fix them when I get home. But I hope you've been well! – N8  ( ☎ / 👁️ ) 21:43, November 10, 2020 (UTC)

Uploading a video
Hello. I've never requested the upload of a video before and assumed that the Add New Videos page would allow me to do that. However, I've accidentally uploaded File:Snap! Two Doctors Meet Doctor Who The Two Doctors BBC myself, for which I apologise. -- Saxon (✉️) 16:20, November 15, 2020 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Thank you. I've gone ahead and sought out the video policy so I know what to do next time. -- Saxon (✉️) 16:27, November 15, 2020 (UTC)

Re: Timeline pages
It is true that we do cover stories not considered valid by the wiki on the timelines, but I thought it a pretty straightforward assumption that we wouldn't cover fan fiction, as that just opens up a whole can of worms which would make the timelines practically useless.

Potential T:SPOIL concern
So there's been a new video game in the works that I've been monitoring and writing about at User:Najawin/Sandbox 3. Various reports stated that the playable version of the game was going to be released in 2021, but that limited edition content packs would go on sale in October 2020 (not being more specific to avoid spoiler concerns, you can check out the sandbox for the details). This never seemed to come to pass, but I decided to check in on the progress of the game, and see what was going on, and it seems like the packs have been released (see here and here). Due to the unique nature of the contents of the packs, as detailed in the sandbox and the articles I linked to, as skeptical as I am of the entire affair, it might be sufficient to make a page for this now and treat the "content packs" as being the first releases in a series or something similar, putting a spoiler tag on the article. But since this is such a very, very weird thing, and has to do with the specific nature of the game pieces vs game pieces from analogous games (and I hope I'm being clear enough on that without violating the spoiler rule), I figured I would ask. Najawin ☎  07:48, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If you'd like, I can explain my reasoning more as to why this particular thing might merit a page already on, say, community central or the $crooge McDuck wiki (rip Ducktales 2017) so I can avoid the spoiler policy. Najawin ☎  08:10, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, there's been mention of it on doctorwhotv as an "available now" sort of deal, even if the "official release date" comes later. (Again, I can go into more detail on my reasoning on community central if you want). Najawin ☎  06:39, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

In-universe references

Restoration Empire place in timeline
So, although I have not read a lot of the more recent TLV stuff and am working off summaries, here is how I think it could be played:

1. the Restoration Empire is a result of the changes, like Defender of the Daleks claims

2. The Restoration Empire may have came about from the changes (per The Restoration Empire) but is in the proper timeline, given the fact that it is setting up the Time War

I do not want to assume what the proper interpretation is, but the foreshadowing of the Time War means I do not want to just assume its all an alternate universe. Maybe the Tenth Doctor is just wrong in Defender and it is not a paradox, as a pre-War empire would of course have no record of a war they have yet to fight. --Editoronthewiki ☎  18:38, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I think that works. We have two “valid” TLV stories left I believe (one being the last short story). I guess we should wait and see what those say.--Editoronthewiki ☎  19:09, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
