User:NateBumber

Hi! I'm Nate, a fellow who wears many hats: moderator of the r/doctorwho and r/gallifrey communities; admin of the Faction Paradox and Obverse wikis; and occasional Faction Paradox short story writer. Nothing is canon, but the Eighth Doctor novels are canoner than NuWho, and I will challenge you to Rock Paper Scissors if you disagree.

Disclaimer: I am aware of T:NPA, and I never intend to attack anyone through what I say on this site. If any reader takes unintended offense at anything I say, I sincerely apologize; feel free to contact me about it and I'll retract the perceived insult at earliest opportunity.

Come join our growing community of wiki editors at the official Doctor Who Discord!

Changes I'd currently like on the wiki
A brief catalogue of my relevant (and irrelevant) Sandbox pages can be found at User:NateBumber/Sandbox. Big thanks to all the admins who have helped with things on this list!

Renames

 * The Remote should be renamed Remote for the same reason that Time Lord isn't The Time Lords.
 * Salyavin should be renamed Chronotis, per Talk:Salyavin.
 * Capitol should be renamed The Capitol, since it's (obviously) not the only Capitol in the Doctor Who universe.
 * Edifice (TARDIS) should be renamed Edifice (The Ancestor Cell); Edifice (building) should be renamed Edifice (The Forever Trap); and Edifice (spaceship) should be renamed Edifice (The Sirens of Time).
 * Lord President should be renamed President of the High Council (in parallel to President of the United States and President of Earth etc) to preserve gender neutrality; for the same reason, Lord Chancellor should be renamed High Chancellor, and Lord Cardinal should be renamed to, err, something.

Speedy renames

 * There are a ton of unnamed Torchwood characters whose pages have generic-description titles without any episode dab terms: Woman in shop; Young policeman; Scene-of-crime officer; Pizza lad; Flying instructor; Murdered woman; Hen night girl; Senior nurse; A&E nurse; and Parliamentary Secretary are just a few.

Mergers

 * Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures should be merged into Virgin New Adventures: see this talk page, this thread, and this sandbox page.

Policy

 * I think our wiki would benefit from the implementation of a (novel series) or (prose series) dab term to parallel the (audio series) term used on pages like Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio series), The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield (audio series), and elsewhere. Virgin New Adventures would become New Adventures (novel series), BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures would become Eighth Doctor Adventures (novel series), etc.
 * On a wiki that necessarily accepts The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius), Patience's husband, and the Other as equally valid, everything about the Doctor's childhood should be moved from First Doctor to The Doctor.
 * The Master should be split up into The Master (Terror of the Autons), The Master (Dominion), Missy, etc, to fix the page's current unusability.
 * Per this decision,
 * EITHER Radio operator (The Sea Devils) should be renamed Sharps, Pilot (The Horns of Nimon) should be renamed Sekkoth, and Mickey Smith's mother should be renamed Odessa Smith (see here for a full list),
 * OR Edward Wright should be renamed Polly Wright's father, Tabetha Pond should be renamed Amy Pond's mother, and Crane should be renamed Nurse (The Curse of Fenric).
 * I really support the main ideas of Thread:231309 – in particular, see my thoughts here – and I believe a majority of editors on this wiki would, too. (See also Amorkuz's comments here.)
