Welcome
Hi, welcome to Tardis! Thanks for your edit to the The Doctor page.

If you need help, and there are no local admins here, you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki. You can also check our Staff blog to keep up-to-date with the latest news and events around Wikia.

Happy editing, Ausir (help forum | blog) 19:59: Tue 20 Dec 2011

Videos
I don't know how you missed all the warnings, but please be aware that only admin may upload videos to this site. This is one of our most strictly-enforced rules, which we implement and uniformly enforce to prevent people from uploading videos that are not properly licensed.

Thank you for your enthusiasm about the upcoming series, but do please know that you will be blocked if you upload any more videos to this site. Please read T:VID and T:RVID. 20:54: Sat 23 Mar 2013
 * You did a great job of obeying the spirit of T:VID by pulling from the BBC's official account. That's why you're not blocked right now. But as a matter of administration it's simply easier to say "videos are odmin only".  (There's also another technical reason.  The "add a video" feature you'll find in the right column of pages is actually in beta and doesn't work as expected.  So every time a video is uploaded there, it necessitates additional work that only admin can undertake.  Therefore, we might as well be the only ones to upload videos, since we're — of necessity — going to be involved, anyway. Again, thanks very much for pulling from the right place and doing so much good work on the article about the latest prequel!  22:11: Sat 23 Mar 2013

License
Thanks for being conscientious about adding licenses per local policies. However, when requesting help, please provide a link to the photo in question, which you can do by adding a colon in front of the word file, viz: file:whatever.jpg Yes, I could dig around your contribution history and figure it out, but it's better to give a link anytime you're requesting help over a specific issue. 08:28: Sat 25 May 2013

Starman
Well, that's quite a messy one. Give me some time to look around and I'll see what I can come up with. I will also do a speedy rename of the song page some time soon when I get a chance to change the links to the page. Shambala108 ☎  18:43, November 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok I did a bit of looking around, and I have a suggestion that will work at least long enough for you to create the page. Then we can maybe bring this issue to the forums to see if anyone has any suggestions. Keep in mind that I haven't read the story, so my suggestion is based solely on your description.


 * Create the page for the main guy, and include a section explaining the 26th dimension guy. Keep them both on the same page for now, and if it becomes necessary to split them, it can be done pretty easily. Shambala108 ☎  01:19, November 10, 2013 (UTC)

Aliases
You haven't, unfortunately, asked a "quick question". You've asked a question that has been the subject of much debate. Complaints started in at least 2010, with this August 2010 discussion, but that conversation died without clear resolution. A new discussion rolled around in September 2011, which had the effect of agreeing to "significant" names. The consensus reached there was: "The names listed are notable or used more than once to identify the individual. In keeping with the idea of an infobox it's a summary of the article, so any one-time mentions can go within the body of the article"

- Tangerineduel

The has changed its label for the field again since then to its present main aliases to sorta stress the point made by TD in 2011.

The key point — or "baseline" as you put it — is the notion of multiple stories. Now, obviously, there are some people who appear in only one story, so if they have a significant nickname in that story, then you could include it in the infobox. I'm writing an article right now about the lead character from Wonderland. She writes as a middle-aged woman about her time as a young woman in San Francisco. Her real name is Jessica Willamy, but the name she adopted for the 1967 events was "Summer". That's the name the Doctor, Ben and Polly know her by, and it's the name that dominates most passages in the book. So the PAGENAME on this not-yet-written article is Jessica Willamy, and the field is gonna be "Summer".

But I don't think that a name given in one story for a recurring character is valid for this field. That is to me the very clear sense of our previous community discussions. So it's right to strike down Ginger Rogers from Amy Pond. You shouldn't in any way assume that because a rule-breaking thing exists on the wiki that the established conventions have been thrown out the window. It just means no one has gotten around to cleaning that up. (I've cleaned out at particular alias field before, but the weeds have come back.)

As for Melody Malone, I would agree that that name should come back to the infobox. She's not only Melody throughout Magic, but she's known as Melody in Angels. And, maybe more to the point, it's a significant name because it's a name under which the character has published. 17:30: Thu 06 Feb 2014

Tales of Trenzalore
Hi! I don't know much about Tales of Trenzalore, bit I just wanted to thank you for the huge amount of work you've done on its article and other related pages today. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  03:47, February 28, 2014 (UTC)

Eleven template
I can't find a reason for locking it, so I've unlocked it until/unless another admin thinks it needs to be locked again. Shambala108 ☎  19:04, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Quick question
Hi! I've added a response to your and User:Bold Clone's discussion at my talk page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  14:22, July 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * In order to stop Shambala getting pinged every single time one of you responds, I've moved the matter to the neutral ground of Thread:158757. 04:38: Sun 13 Jul 2014

hi, i edited the page of the latest episode "the caretaker" because i noticed a mistake on the continuity, it says, "The Doctor previously went undercover in a school while in his Tenth Incarnation", but it's not his "tenth incarnation" but the eleventh, cause david tennant's doctor (10th doctor) was established as the 11th incarnation duo to the war doctor incarnation existence in the day of the doctor.

Redundant categories
Hi! Thanks for helping weed out redundant categories. However, before you do such a chore, please check to make sure that the category is not involved in the Game of Rassilon. I've had to undo all your edit to Torchwood stories because Category:Torchwood television stories is currently part of the Game of Rassilon. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  15:40, November 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * No, in general, you're right that we try to avoid redundant categories. The only exception is the Game of Rassilon categories, and it can be hard to keep track of them. You can either check the category pages themselves, or I think the list that is posted on user pages is pretty up to date. Shambala108 ☎  16:45, November 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's actually not hard to keep track of GOR categories. All are clearly labelled on their category page as being involved in the game. You should always, always go to a category's page before taking any action to remove categories. It's entirely possible that what's written there will help explain the point of the category, such that you no longer feel it necessary to delete it.  21:31: Sat 02 May 2015

All caps alert
That's a very unusual capitalisation. Given that SERVEYOUinc comes from a comic book, where all-caps lettering is the norm, why do you believe that your capitalisation is correct? Do you have a screen grab of a comic frame that can be used to back up your claim? If so, we can make adjustments to the anti-shouting filter. Otherwise, we'd probably want to change the name of the article. 02:01: Thu 26 Mar 2015

Titan Back-up Comics
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that we are currently sending down a final vote on the Titan back-up comics down at Thread:177099. You seemed to have a pretty strong opinion on the issue, so I just wanted to make sure that you knew that the vote was happening. It is currently three votes for the back-up strips being valid and four for them being invalid. All votes have gone towards making the WeLoveTITANS comics invalid. If you want a say in the matter, there is a week and three days left on voting. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 21:23, September 2, 2015 (UTC)
