hello! :)

A "New Who" fan then, eh? I guess I qualify as one of those.. although I absolutely DESPISE those squishy, big-bummed Teletubbies they try to pass off as Daleks. I hate 'em with a passion. Sorry, WHERE was I going with this?

Anyway, nice to talk with you. Feel free to contact me for anything. 17:16: Tue 20 Dec 2011

Well it wasn't exactly intentional, but I suppose I did decide to exclude the Howling from the nav menus in wikia. (It's still in the monobook nav.)  We're at the limit of the things that can be added to that particular drop-down, so a few things have actually been squeezed out. The Howling was deemed of a lower priority. After all, the Howling isn't even in the same namespace as the genuine forums, it allows spoilers and its excluded from searches. It's very much meant as a place you have to work to find anyway, so that you won't be spoiled by its contents. The fact that it was effectively pushed off the navbar therefore seemed appropriate rather than problematic. 12:55: Sun 13 May 2012

Siggys
If you click through on the link and look at the last part of the "when required" section, you'll see that signatures are required on "all odd numbered namespaces as well as 110, 112, 500 and 502". Howling is 112, as noted at the chart on the namespace page. And, indeed, Howling:The Howling reminds users to sign their posts.

The Howling is somewhat irrelevant to the post I just made, since it's not really a forum. Fortunately, the change of the code at the real forums makes it instantly clear that the Howling is a totally distinct area.

I suppose you could argue that this point needs to be made clearer, since you were confused about it. Ordinarily, I"d agree.

However, it's important to note the honest truth: we only have three custom namespaces available to us. This forum software switch is going to force us to create a brand new custom namespace, which would only leave us with one more. If we need one after that, guess which namespace will be deleted without even the slightest blink of an eye? Therefore, I'm not crazy about specifying the Howling in too many pages, because this might obligate the staff to have to do an extensive cleanup, should the Howling be deleted. For simplicity, whatever rules there are for the Howling are best left explicit at Howling:The Howling and Tardis:Spoiler policy. 04:02: Mon 03 Dec 2012
