User talk:Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived

Page creation
Hi please see the changes I made to Javier Aliaga to see the things you have to keep in mind when creating a new page thanks Shambala108 ☎  01:37, March 9, 2020 (UTC)

RE: Category

 * First of, Shambala is a woman, so please use "she/her" in the future. Secondly, I can't help much in the "getting in touch with her", because the only means of communication we have is this Wiki. If she didn't reply, it's most likely because she didn't have the time, or perhaps forgot to do so.
 * However, I can help in the sense that I might know the reason it was deleted: there was a discussion long ago (though I can't find the link right now) that we wouldn't do categories for LGBT+ people (a category that I and a few other editors don't agree entirely). So, Until and unless there is a new discussion in which it is decided that we should do these categories, they can't be created. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 22:45, April 16, 2020 (UTC)
 * In addition to what our good admin OncomingStorm12th said above, I would add that although, as OS12th said, this is possibly not the main reason your category was deleted, it's also the case that if it were to exist, it should have been Category:Lesbian individuals without capitalisation of the "I". I don't think it's very fetching either, but there you have it. See also The Doctor's mother instead of The Doctor's Mother, for a high-profile example of the same point in the Tardis Wiki manual-of-style. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  23:00, April 16, 2020 (UTC)


 * Looks like this has already been answered, but just wanted to point out, it wasn't stupid of you to call me "he" since you didn't know better, so no need to apologize. I'm not the kind of person who takes offense at that kind of thing. Shambala108 ☎  23:24, April 16, 2020 (UTC)

Skaro in the Cushing Movies
This is a bit of a questionable decision you've made in that edit rationale IMO. We don't create separate pages for everything in an invalid story, if it's depicted similarly to how it is in valid sources; if there's a bit of discrepancy/additional info, well, that's what BTS sections are for. What's next? Dalek (Dr. Who and the Daleks)? Human (Dr. Who and the Daleks)?!…

But even granting that the geography of the Cushing films' Skaro be different enough to warrant such a separate page, this hardly seems like the right time to launch into such a project when there is a forum thread going on which, while yet unclosed, really does look likely to make the Cushing movies into actually valid sources. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  17:14, May 12, 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, really, we only have pages for invalid versions of concepts if it makes sense. I don't know if this is clarified in any specific policy, but it's a matter of common sense. There's things in invalid stories that just exist to rely on the readers' preexisting knowledge, and don't seek to reimagine them at all. The Seventh Doctor has a lot of history (and abilities) in Death Comes to Time that he doesn't have elsewhere, and to an extent so does the Brigadier, but when it involves the President of the U.S.A., we have a page about that guy but there's no need to have a page about the DCtT U.S.A. in particular.


 * For the Daleks, there are different Daleks than the ones we met on television, and they have their own character pages like Gold Dalek (Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D.); what more could a page about the species bring us that can't be covered on those pages? Species-wise they are Daleks through and through. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  17:39, May 12, 2020 (UTC)

Thank you!
Hey, I'm around to give more Iris clarifications. :) Just felt like saying thanks for your help in improving Queer representation in Doctor Who! CoT     ?  17:52, May 27, 2020 (UTC)
