Test
This is a test. × SOTO  ( ☎ / ✍ / ↯ ) 09:23, March 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * This is another test. I'm starting to consider maybe writing something a bit less boring as a test. Maybe next time. 09:31, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Question
Cane we able to do image galleries here? LunarSolar ☎  20:33, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

Series 8
Hey, I just wanted to remind you to be careful when posting edit summaries for the Series 8 page. Any spoilers in the edit summary will show up in both "recent changes" and "wiki activity". Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  22:54, May 30, 2014 (UTC)

Series 8
Episode 2's title is confirmed, please add it to the series 8 page. I've provided a citation (Radio Times) on Talk:Series 8 (Doctor Who).
 * The rest of the episode titles have been revealed on the BBC website. Link on the Series 8 talk page like last time.
 * Just posted a link to episode 1's credits at Talk:Series 8 (Doctor Who).
 * At this point, we're so close to actual transmission that it makes little sense not to wait to see the credits as transmitted. This, after all, is the admonishment of T:CREW. I wouldn't even bother with detailed, per-episode maintenance of the series 8 page, but instead focus on the episode pages themselves as those eps are transmitted. 15:24: Tue 19 Aug 2014

Danny Pink
I tried to create a page for Danny Pink, as he has now been seen in a broadcast episode, but it says that the page is still locked, and it was you who locked it. Any chance it can now be unlocked? Geek Mythology ☎  12:08, August 31, 2014 (UTC)

Video request
Hey, SOTO, do you mind uploading [this video] for the page The Time of the Doctor (TV story)? I put it on the video recommendations page a couple months ago but it was overlooked. Thanks. --TARDIS2468 ☎  11:32, December 27, 2014 (UTC)

Hi I was wondering if I could ask about the standard preloads it looks like a great tool and I have a Wikia but I am not sure how I could added. I realise this isn't a Tardis Wikia matter but if you can assist me. I would be most grateful. Thanks Kelvin 101 ☎

Home media/video
How is the creation of home media/video pages for the televised stories project going? Ebyabe  (talk)  17:58, April 18, 2015 (UTC)

Bot edits
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I am undoing some of your bot work. Specifically, I am correcting the grammar of your edits on the "date (releases)" pages. Leaving off the word "the" in front of the publications/magazines names is poor grammar. Just try saying some of these sentences to yourself out loud and you'll realize how odd they sound.

I know that CzechOut spent a lot of time giving you instructions on these pages, and that he specifically told you to keep the items short, but he was referring to the amount of information you were to provide, not the grammar. In fact, I've found two examples where he specifically places the word "the" in front of the phrase "TV comic". You can find the examples on User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside/Archive 3, dated Jun 23, 2013, and Thread:121256, dated Feb 22, 2013.

Also, I have to say it would have been nice if you had let me know that you were using your bot to undo the 365 pages that I had fixed a few months previously. Didn't you even wonder why I was making those particular edits? Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  01:19, May 13, 2015 (UTC)

Covers
Hi! On looking over Special:Wantedcategories, I noticed that all but 100 of the 365 wanted categories are of the format "(episode name) (medium) covers". Do you have plans for these uncreated categories? It's been over a year for most of them, and the categories should either be deleted or created, since there are so many images that have these non-existent categories. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  02:14, September 27, 2015 (UTC)

DWU Forum Invite
Hey SOTO! I wanted to stop by and invite you to be a part of Thread:180396, where we're currently discussing if the DWU prefix does or does not well-represent our invalid policy. We've got some good input, but barely anything from admins. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 19:37, October 8, 2015 (UTC)

If you have time, is there any chance that you could stop by Thread:176459? As you asked, I have delivered a someone more clear layout of the Doctor Who levels and how the game play works, and the discussion with if it is valid or not is again open, but traffic has died down on the page...

BBC Store image category
Thank you for recategorizing. Your robot certainly beats my manual labor. Amorkuz ☎  09:01, December 15, 2015 (UTC)

Informational matchmaking :)
Thanks for the tip on a possible information source and for reaching out to him.

On a partially related topic, there seems to be a weird discrepancy between the website vs. CD information for Big Finish as far as cast is concerned. For earlier releases, the full cast is on the website but not on the CD; for later releases the situation is exactly the opposite. It appears that no single source can have all the information. Amorkuz ☎  08:36, December 17, 2015 (UTC)

Oops! Should have spotted it. Thanks. Amorkuz ☎  08:54, December 18, 2015 (UTC)

Checkers/Chequers
since my reply doesn't seem to be seen on the discusion board here is my answer

It's Checkers as in the script it says

STAHLBAUM A clever move from Count Wittenmeier, ladies and gentlemen. Another red checker taken.

 * Worse than that, I couldn't add this information to the discussion board either. Amorkuz ☎  12:51, December 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh dear. Can you post to other threads? If not, I'm sure it's just a temporary problem at Wikia that'll be over soon enough. File a Special:Contact/bug to let them know there's an issue and/or push them to get it fixed. 12:55, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

The Black Hole
Looking at other articles in regeneration categories, they include not just the Doctor's regenerations but also regenerations of other Time Lords (e.g. "Hell Bent", which has the General's regeneration). And Pavo regenerates in "The Black Hole". JagoAndLitefoot ☎  22:11, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

Off topic discussion on talk pages
An anon on Talk:Clara Oswald is pretty clearly breaking T:DISCUSS by ranting about how they dislike her. Seeing as I'm not an admin here, am I right in thinking it's up to one of them to remove it? Can't recall what the specific policy about removed/removing comments is, and I couldn't point to anything on T:DISCUSS beyond "don't talk about how good/bad an episode was". -- Tybort (talk page) 01:20, December 25, 2015 (UTC)

Renaming 
Hi there. Could you possibly take a look the page Maitre d' and the reason I left on its talk page for its renaming? Thank you :) The  Farty  Doctor   Talk  00:04, December 26, 2015 (UTC)

I've Been a Fool Just a heads up, I think I've put name sorts on articles that don't require them. So sorry again for the inconvenience. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  21:30, December 26, 2015 (UTC)

Just Here to Say Thanks
Hi SOTO, thanks for the tips on the Real World tags and categories adding, now I know how to create proper articles. I've used the knowledge you gave me to create pages for Cast and Crew of BBV and Reeltime pages that haven't already got any. Thanks for the help, you're very kind. I hope to stay editing with the wikia and I wish you all the best

p.s. You're one of the kindest tardis data core users I've ever spoken too. =)

DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  15:19, December 28, 2015 (UTC)

Question
Hi smaller on the outside, how do you remove redundant categories, thanks pal DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  19:42, December 30, 2015 (UTC)

Redundant Categories

Hi! When making edits, please be aware of redundant categories. They create recursion, which makes things confusing for bots. That's why we try to avoid them as much as possible.MystExplorer ☎  00:21, January 7, 2016 (UTC)

Recursion
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the concept. I was wondering if you could set me straight. Are you saying recursion only applies to categories nested within one another and not to ones that are several categories removed from each other? MystExplorer ☎  22:08, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

The categories I have just edited were only one category removed from each other. Therefore, they were redundant. MystExplorer ☎  02:13, January 10, 2016 (UTC)

Master
82.69.105.93, this user deleted the whole of the Five Masters section in the Master, I undid his revision but I thought I'd give you the heads up in case he tries again. DENCH-and-PALMER ☎  09:19, January 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hello! Sorry for asking but do you know who the creator of this wiki is? Thanks!

Truth or Consequences
I noticed you edited the page for the 'Truth or Consequences' short story and figured I'd ask - since the story really is incredibly short (to the point that a typed-up synopsis would be longer than the actual story), and since it's available to the public for free in multiple places, would it be okay to just type out the story for the 'plot' segments of the article? Or is there a rule against that? Cheers. KingOrokos ☎  23:55, January 21, 2016 (UTC)

Ah, rightio. I'll wait and let you post what you've got, then type up the rest. Thanks! KingOrokos ☎  00:06, January 22, 2016 (UTC)
