Do you think I should re do all the novels, so far ive done PDA, EDA, NDA and TDA. I so what are the abreviations of all the novels? Could you list them here or on my talk page?--Skittles the hog 15:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

So basically...yes If you want to?--Skittles the hog 15:53, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok i'll do it. Maze well. Are character notes just for novels or can episodes have them too?--Skittles the hog 16:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok, Could'nt you have just said it's just for novels?:)--Skittles the hog 16:53, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Categories
I've got another question... I'm having a hard time figuring out the category structure. There's categories called Stories, Doctor Who stories, Television stories, Television stories by Doctor and Doctor Who television stories. Within Television stories by Doctor, the stories are called episodes: First Doctor episodes, etc.

From what I can tell, it looks like the categories sort of evolved gradually, with each person adding their own categories without necessarily looking at a larger structure.

So I'm curious about what you think -- I'm kind of a nerd about that stuff, and you may not be concerned about it at all. I'd be happy to work on revamping the category structure, or help with it if other people are interested -- but obviously, I don't want to jump into a big project like that if you're happy with it the way it is. Let me know what you think... -- Danny (talk ) 18:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The categories. Every so often I get motivated to fix the categories and when answering your other question I had a look at the TV stories categories noticed how haphazard they were.
 * I'm okay with how the categories are (though it annoys me sometimes). But I wouldn't say I'm happy with it. As I see it should have some sort of logic to it (even if it's its own internal logic), but it doesn't and probably needs a good shake up and fix.
 * If you want to work through how you want to do it that's okay, or if you want to start and I'll (try) and keep and eye on it, also fine.
 * Just as I said make sure its got some sort of logic to it and that its fits in with everything else and also make sure that it doesn't become TV centric as there's novels, short stories, audio dramas, magazines etc. Though some of those I have attempted to work on. In any case I'll try to help where I can. --Tangerineduel 02:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll take a crack at it when I have a little chunk of time to play with it. I'll definitely keep the structure consistent for the novels and everything.


 * I don't know if I've mentioned this to you, but I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. I've read all the Virgin and BBC novels up through the end of the EDAs, I get Doctor Who Magazine every month, and I've seen (and loved) the new Sarah Jane Adventures. Some of my happiest childhood memories involve stacks of Target novelizations. So I won't go messing things up; I know my Doctor Who. :) -- Danny (talk ) 18:46, 6 February 2008

"Proper" wiki Merges
As an aside, things like Border Princess and Border Princes should be merged properly in order to merge the histories into one place. Have you ever done this before? If not, the process is as follows:
 * 1) manually copy the information from the destination to the source article.
 * 2) delete the destination article
 * 3) move the source article to the destination (this creates the redirect too)
 * 4) undelete all deleted revisions of the page

And voila... you're done. You have all of the history from every instance of the article in one location. :) -- Sulfur 15:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Right (didn't know how to do it, or probably thought about it and did the easier way). Will bare it in mind for the future thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Block
High. Why was i Blocked yesterday ??? . Who was this Doctormania person. I think i know what happened but im slightly confused. What happened ????Quark16 12:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Tangerineduel. Thank you for enlighting me on the problem and blocking user Doctormainia im sure that i understand but is this what happened. He/ she somehow obtained my user number and used it to vandilise certain pages and he was blocked and because he had the same as me i was blocked for a short while as well. Do inform me if you need someone to repair the damage unless you have already done so as i am eager to make contributions to this wiki. Could you tell me one thing that i cant do is put images on certain articles. sv7 for example I think needs a good image. Quark16 12:42, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
