RE: Comics

 * I think it will be fine (I'll be travelling the next week or so, so no edit conflicts should happen).


 * I'm not 100% sure on that, but I believe the reason we use the Publisher's summary rather than writting our own is because they actually exist for comics. For TV stories, only synopsis are availlble, and they're rather inconsistent. Thus, every (well, unless the publisher decides to change it at some point of publication) comic book will present the same summary, but not every synopsis for TV stories will be the same. This way, by choosing a synopsis to be used as our summary, we would essencially be plagiarising one of the many synopsis, whereas, with the comics' summary, we would simply be presenting what the publisher tells us. (You might want to contact User:Shambala108 or User:SOTO for checking on that, though).


 * As for posting only the summary of the first issue on multi-issues stories: I always though myself this was an error, and all the summaries should be posted on the page, but that's probably a topic for a future thread.


 * Concerning the character "blurb introductions": I don't personally pay much atention to them, but I know they make a board description of the character. Keeping in mind that most (or all) relevant information presented there will already be at the character's page at some point, I ,personally, don't think they would be of great interest to any pages.


 * Anyway, don't worry about breaking my "well-established methodology". I guarantee you no such thing exists (at least, I try not to have any, since this is a community, and I'm only one of the contributors; my edits for sure don't overweight your's, on anyone else's). OncomingStorm12th ☎  00:49, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess I'll put my little Canadian dime in here. If a summary is taken from the comic, it should say "publisher's summary", I would think. Otherwise, it would seem to violate Tardis:Plagiarism. As for multiple publisher's summary, my gut feeling is that they should all be included, but there should probably be a discussion on that, as it might get long, even repetitive in some cases.
 * TV stories don't have publisher's summaries, of course. You can't flip them over and read what it says on the back. So we write original content for those, which I suppose ideally should be the standard for all forms of content (ha, forms of content). I always write original summaries for short stories, but for some reason a lot of those just have a "summary" section, rather than both summary and plot. There are some inconsistencies to perhaps be discussed. 01:21, December 29, 2016 (UTC)

RE: plagiarism by anonymous user(s)
That is definitely an issue. Thank you for informing me. Regardless of whether IMDb is a valid source (which it isn't), Tardis:Plagiarism makes it quite clear that plagiarism from anywhere is against the rules. As they're not registered, there's not much of a real point in leaving them a message. And it would make an easier cleanup if it was all under the same IP. How long have these edits been going on? 15:18, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh jeezus. 4 months worth of IP user plagiarism. RecentChanges only seems to go as far back as 1 December. Perhaps the only way to really deal with all of it is to somehow get a complete list of the IP addresses involved. 22:13, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * I've brought the issue up with some other admins including CzechOut. I hope we can find a good way to fix this problem. Again, thanks for bringing this to my attention. 22:31, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * It would definitely be very helpful if you could help compile a list of IPs, if you're feeling up to it and do in fact choose to do it. 23:19, December 29, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! I'll keep you updated. 23:26, December 30, 2016 (UTC)

Hector
Hector is currently considered a primary topic, much like Victoria, and not for his real-world-liness. We reserve that for those who can be considered, well, "the original, you might say". Those like Victoria Waterfield can be considered named after Queen Victoria, in one way or another, directly or indirectly. In effect, this means that Hector does not take a dab term, and the disambiguation should be at Hector (disambiguation).

You can contest this, of course. But keep in mind that this doesn't take away from readers' ease of use at all. If they go first to Hector, they simply need to click on the link to Hector (disambig) in the template. 17:51, January 2, 2017 (UTC)

Joyrider technology
If you ever choose to make a page for the Joyrider technology (whatever you'd want to call it), I know of at least one other body swap device (the Reciprocator) which could potentially form category:Body swap technology with it if we find another (Cabinet of Souls, in-a-way-not-really-forget-I-said-anything?).

Guard of the train
Ha. Guard of the train. Yeah, that is a new one. So... Guard of the train (Revolutions of Terror). Subway conductor (Revolutions of Terror). Train guard (Revolutions of Terror)?

I suppose we don't want to let real world creep muddy our view of what happened in the story (but let me tell you, Nick Abadzis did not do his research). Maybe it would be best to stick to what we're actually told, and assume there is someone called a train guard or guard of the train in the DWU New York subway system. After all, Gabby is a local, and our only source on the matter.

Does train guard seem reasonable? I can change all the links when I move the page (soon/later today). 22:59, January 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Dammit, I expect more of the Doctor! I would love to be able to say subway conductor is a better title, but it seems unsubstantiated by the comic itself. Still, at least the Doctor has enough in him not to call the guy "guard of the train". So we're going with train guard? 05:40, January 8, 2017 (UTC)

Re:Legacy Wiki Interlinking
Well I just shot first and asked questions later! User:CzechOut obviously thinks that no policies are broken by inter-wiki linking and agrees that it is beneficial and I can't think of a higher authority here than him. Therefore, I created Template:Dwlx and added it to every major character that has a corresponding page at DWL wiki, except for the regular titan companions. Basically, all you need to do is add to the bottom of a page and you've got a link to DWL wiki. Cheers CoT     ?  04:30, January 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Responses to your points:
 * I definitely agree that BHS is unnecessary if all we can say is that "X appears in NOTVALID: Legacy".
 * I'd say that whether or not there's new artwork should be the deciding point. "Me" as an enemy looks different than "Me" as a companion, but Hawthorne looks the same no matter what side he's on. Although that idea probably comes from the fact that I think the artwork is the best part of the game. (River Song's World Amy is the same person as the normal Amy, as shown when regular Amy remembers being Agent Amy at the end of the Wedding of River Song.)
 * 100% agree
 * I don't think you should worry about people getting mad at a fleshed-out BHS. The point of the BHS is to give information like this! At this point, I would recommend you bring your ideas to someone who is a frequent editor both here and at the DWL wiki. CoT     ?  01:28, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me
...about the vandalism. Those three users have been blocked. Technically, non-admins should never edit the user page of another. To quote from T:USER OTHER:
 * "If you notice that someone else's user page has been vandalised, please do not revert on your own initiative. Instead, please alert an admin. Admin have greater powers to notice editing patterns, and so are in a better position to identify the seriousness of the vandalism."

That said, thank you for informing me, and I very highly doubt P&P minds vandalism getting undone on her page. But for the future, try to heed to the above statement. (Not a problem that you didn't this time) 01:42, January 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * If it makes you feel any better, I once got shit as a non-admin for swiftly removing an extreme violation of T:SPOIL on a user talk page (edit). I understand what it's like when there's no admin around, but like Shambala told me, we don't want an experienced user giving new ones the wrong idea. 22:10, January 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't think such a page will be necessary. In fact, it would only serve to encourage such behaviour. I wouldn't say it's ever so urgent (or wasn't in this case) that it absolutely would need to be reverted right now.
 * You don't need to contact every admin who might be on; I myself, for example, drop by at least once a day, when I'm not at w:c:snicket. CzechOut, of the admins, is definitely the most around, even if he's not active on this wiki in particular. I'd say if it's urgent, contacting Czech is your best bet. 00:34, January 21, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Interwiki linking to DWL
Hello Amorkuz. I saw the beggining of yours and CoT's project. As a regular editor on both wikis, I'm really happy with it. Answering your points:
 * BHS section
 * Agreed. Only for characters like "Me", Adiposes et al need any explanation on BHS.


 * One link per character, unless they are different substantially
 * Seems pretty reasonable. Also, writting small descriptions seems awesome.


 * Ally adipose page
 * This is the only one you seemed to make a confusion (which I myself and other users have made in the past): yes, the Adipose (and, for that matter, the Silence, Ood and Zygon) pages are tabulated, but there isn't a trully leftmost tab.
 * If you go to w:c:dwlegacy:Adipose (Black), the character "Adipose (Black)" will be on the leftmost tab. If you simply click on the other tabs, "Adipose (BlacK)" will still be on leftmost tab.
 * However, if you go to the "search" bar and search for "Adipose (Green)", "Adipose (Black)" will no longer be the leftmost tab.
 * What I mean is: the leftmost tab depends on which page you "landed" first. For this reason, I believe the best option is to link to the dab page itself in this cases (if you come across a case where you think there should be a dab page, but one doesn't exist, feel free to come here, so we can discuss the best way to handle it. If it is indeed a dab page, we can create it.)


 * Location pages on the DWL wiki
 * I don't think there will ever be pages for locations on there. The game itself gives us very few info about the locations, and, when they do, it's info we already know from other sources. The only exception is, I believe, Estragil, but I don't think one exception'd be enough for us to make pages for all locations there. Also, some locations are only visited very few times.

Overall, everything looks very nice. If you want/need help with anything, give me a heads up. OncomingStorm12th ☎  15:29, January 19, 2017 (UTC)


 * Hey, regarding the links from "11th Doctor Flesh Clone" to "Ganger" and vice versa: it really seems that the only options are "For" and "For 3". This seems to be the only case where 4 links will be needed, so I simply added a new template on the page. So, if you want to remove one of the links from Eleventh Doctor (Ganger), it'll be fine.

Torchwood NY
Hi. I haven't heard of an American Torchwood in New York, but I haven't read or heard every Torchwood story by any means. It's worth mentioning though that one of the new Big Finish audios has a base set over the pond in Los Angeles.

Re: Sutekh
Thanks for the heads up! Sutekh does indeed play a major role in the Faction Paradox audios; I've added his appearances to Sutekh - list of appearances. You're right that I'm not familiar with the Doctor Who comics, but I'm very open to spoilers.

Some things might just be inconsistent, but since the Faction Paradox audios are a direct (and consistent) prequel to Pyramids of Mars, if the comics take place after PoM, I think they can coexist quite well. In the audios, Anubis is portrayed as a scientist with an interest in biology and the resurrection of the dead, which miiiight possibly pass as consistent with the comics? As for time travel, I believe the audios specify that the Osirans have their own version of time which flows differently from the much of the rest of the universe, which could be used to explain all the Osiran's apparent time-hopping in the audios while preserving some sort of distaste for actual time travel.

Unlike the Faction Paradox Protocols, I don't have the scripts for the True History of Faction Paradox series (which is where Sutekh and the Osirans appear), so it's gonna be a lot harder for me to make accurate pages concerning True History (especially considering that they're sitting on CDs in my garage at home, and I'm at college without a CD drive). Ordinarily I'd recommend Fwhiffahder, but the admins seem to be ignoring all apologies and appeals to shorten his sentence, so he might be staying on the Faction Paradox Wiki for good. When I get my hands back on the disks, I'll definitely add some more to the relevant pages. NateBumber ☎  20:07, January 23, 2017 (UTC)
 * Wonderful! I'm glad that all fits together so well. Thank you for checking! I think those six audios are the only FP stories that feature the Osirans, but I'll double- and triple-check against my ebooks and make any appropriate changes. Also, for the record, your summary "Just this once, nobody conflicts" made me laugh for a long time, so thank you for that! :) NateBumber ☎  22:03, January 23, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Rokhandi image
Well, at first look it indeed seems very crowded. However, once you put the image at a 350px width, (I believe this is the thumb size of files for infoboxes, more or less) the ballons are not that intrusive. Also, it shows us how the planet was, and what it became. Seems good enough for me. OncomingStorm12th ☎  16:59, January 29, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Merge request
I think I'm fine with finding out 11D plot details; by the time I have the chance to buy all the collected editions and actually read them, I'll probably have a lot spoiled anyway. It was a bit upsetting to have a Class finale surprise spoiled, mind you. Anyway, that's my (non-paying) job, and it's an occupational hazard.

Anyway, I would be more than willing to perform the actual technical merge for you, with the understanding that you'll handle the content issue. If it makes you feel better, you don't have to explain the actual plot connection; just send me the links, and I'll do the merge and dump all the text on one page, in sections. Just be sure to tell me our destination for the merge. 01:07, January 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * God, that does sound complicated. Speaking as someone who has not of course read the story, the merge does seem appropriate. I'll trust your judgment. If you want me to take care of the merge today, I'll try to do so when I get home this afternoon/evening. 15:27, January 30, 2017 (UTC)
 * I did the technical merge for you. All text and categories now at Talent Scout. I also added an tag for your benefit. Let me know if you need anything else. 23:58, January 30, 2017 (UTC)

Hey, it's been a while since I read these 11D stories, so I don't remember the plot very well. I'll give a second read on them, but I 100% trust your judgment on the matter, as per your recent (awesome, btw) work on the Titan comics. As for the comic: you're welcome; always feel free to come to me if you want a second opnion on these. If I remember, I'll tell you what I think; if I don't, I'll give it a search to try and remember. Also, I don't think there's a rule agains two-pages images, as long as it is one panel only (which I myself consider that image to be). Again: great job on all the Titan stuff.

Lists of appearances
I noticed those edits as well, and briefly looking into them, I didn't think much of it. It's generally not worthwhile to try to contact IP users, as they don't actually get notifications for it.

Oh man, though. . Italics are great, and lacking in appearance lists (though not sure about novel ranges: I've been consistently not italicizing them, myself, but there isn't any sort of solid consensus), but there's a reason it's Doctor Who Magazine special issues. For some of these things, if given a list, I could easily fix back by bot. But not if information in the title is straight up removed. 00:57, February 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * That said, they're definitely acting in good faith. But there's a discussion to be had about some of the mass changes, and some things were titled better in the first place. Again, if I have a concrete list, I can definitely run a few bots.
 * [pause]
 * Oh, they're removing the Titan h3 on top of renaming the h4s and moving them up a level. Okay, that might be a bit more difficult to fix, but I have a plan in mind that might work: add the superheading for the earliest possible series, then add for the next if superheading is not already on the page, etc. That might not work if the sections are not always in the same order, though. Get back to me with specifically what needs changing, or what needs discussion, and I'll see what I can do. 01:02, February 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I agree that is the main issue here. 17:01, February 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * The IP user replied on my talk page. To make things easier for the three of us, let's carry on this discussion entirely there. 03:54, February 6, 2017 (UTC)

Killers vs. murderers
To be perfectly honest, I'm beginning to doubt the usefulness of that distinction. In theory, since killers is the supercategory, it's those whose actions bring about the death of another, without actually committing murder. It would be unreasonable to say you murdered someone by hitting them accidentally with a car, or if someone else who was controlling you entirely made you do it. Murder requires some degree of (premeditation and) actual intention.

But frankly, in practice, I don't think that distinction is so clear, so it might actually be best to do away with category:Killers altogether, at least as a viable category for individual articles. Category:Executioners, and maybe category:Assassins, I guess still need to be there. But since you wanted to understand, that's about the current difference between those two categories. 07:43, February 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose T:CAT NAME does call for some change in this regard. It might well be that the names of the categories are not clear enough. And we don't want to have any debatable cases--"No, that's not murder; that's manslaughter" is not the kind of thing we want to have to get into. Maybe the best solution is to keep all individual pages in one of the subcategories? In that case, any outliers (like Matt (Father's Day)) will simply be removed from the category entirely. 07:47, February 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Delayed? Ha! No worries. I haven't been around as much lately, either.
 * So it seems we are in agreement that there's something wrong here (even as creator of the categories barely more than a year ago).
 * But I do think it's important to keep the Assassins and Executioner lines running. So either we keep the Killer cats, but enforce that no individual pages should go in them directly, or we put those two in Murderers. Not sure if a (fully objective) standpoint can necessarily put executioners under murderers, though. In this case, perhaps we should get rid of Killers, put Murderers directly in Criminals and Murder and homicide, with only Assassins as a subcategory, and put simply Executioners directly under Murder and homicide as well. Actually, looking at the categories, it should maybe just go under Death sentence, where right now it can't even be found. 04:33, February 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * I suppose that I am somewhat biased in having a historical context. Category:Killers, in fact, did not use to exist (god, English is weird). So in the past, no one chose Murderers over Killers; rather, Murderers was the available category (under Criminals only), and Killers was created later on for broader categorisation, with the creation of other, similar deathly cats. But now we find ourselves at a bit of an impasse. You make a compelling argument about murder being difficult to define broadly and objectively at the same time.

But now we find ourselves at a bit of an impasse. You make a compelling argument about murder being difficult to define broadly and objectively at the same time.


 * I think that even if moved to Killers, the parent category "Criminals" should be retained, as for the most part, it does apply. Man, I don't know. "Convicted murderers" is a compelling idea, and would allow for the retention of Murderers from the real world.


 * That said, I think murder as a premeditated crime, tried or otherwise, is something which could hold. Right? Am I way off base here? If someone under the control of another kills someone, they are not a murderer. But if they've taken up arms with intent to kill, or prepared a poison, or killed as part of a larger attack (whether strategically or just to show strength, à la Family of Blood), then they have committed murder, with regards to this category.


 * Gwen Cooper did not murder Ed Morgan in Ghost Machine, whereas Ed Morgan did murder poor Lizzie Lewis, in that same episode. Heck, Suzie Costello murdered Jack Harkness right in episode one, and did not even kill him long-term.


 * Anyway, you make an interesting point about Soldiers. Of course, not all soldiers have killed, even if that is part of their function. Wilfred Mott "never killed a man", bless him. Soldiers definitely belong within the larger category:Murder and homicide tree, perhaps directly there, or perhaps under Killers as you say; as a side note, remember that they are 4 levels in already, through category:War. If Soldiers does not go under Killers, then that raises the question of adding Killers to all pages where they have killed, and then brings up the Killer/Murderer debate once again. I suppose killing under orders wouldn't qualify as a premeditated action? Gah! I can see why you want them merged.


 * In any case, if we keep them both, the distinction must be in the definition, not in any sort of case-by-case morality survey. Remember T:CAT NAME. Murder isn't when it's "wrong" or not justified. If Murderers continues, those are the people who committed that premeditated act of killing someone. But maybe, if some cases are clearer than others, that would be too difficult to maintain. I don't know why I feel so compelled to keep Murderers in some form. Sorry for the lengthy reply. There's a lot to think about here. I'll end with a little list as a reminder of all the categories we're dealing with:
 * Category:Killers
 * Category:Murderers
 * Category:Assassins
 * Category:Executioners
 * Category:Cannibals (currently under Murderers)
 * Category:Soldiers (currently nowhere in there)
 * Well to be clear, it reaches Violence through Combat. I guess if you take your example of an assassin who's never killed, if they are a "killer" in the categories because of their job description, rather than their necessary actions, then perhaps "soldiers" would work by the same comparison. Remember, not all military personnel, but soldiers. They're kinda hired killers by the military, unless, again, I'm way off with that broad oversimplification.

Remember, not all military personnel, but soldiers. They're kinda hired killers by the military, unless, again, I'm way off with that broad oversimplification.


 * Convicted murderers is, I guess, a clear category name, but we don't have the resources to properly fill it, as we haven't read/heard/viewed every DWU story.


 * Murderers may yet be savable, though. Remember that narratives are often pretty clear on the situation which led to the killing. In fact, they're often pretty clear on when it's murder. When the Master kills indiscriminately, we're meant to think of it as murder, as something a bit further than, perhaps, other instances of killing. 17:54, February 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * The Doctor calls the Brig out for murder in Doctor Who and the Silurians. I think there's no higher source than the Doctor, in-story, calling something murder. Carys Fletcher absolutely shouldn't be in that category now there's Killers. It seems that Brett killed Daxtar. I wonder what you'd make of Ambrose Northover.


 * What did people do before the (non-feline) Killers cat? Well, it seems they added Murderers, by default, to anyone at all who's killed. I disrupted this seven years later. What I had in mind was that people like Etoine or Matt (Father's Day), who didn't actually mean to kill someone, and did so either by accident or under someone's influence, should not go in Murderers. Martin Jackson is an interesting case that's been added more recently, which I think is justified (thanks, Shambala...oh, I added that category...). I didn't necessarily think of broader questions, like if there's intent to kill, but it's under orders. Thinking about it now, I suppose if it's someone else's decision it's not technically murder; in the way we're using the category, that is.


 * Of course, my intentions are not necessarily so important now the category's out in the open, and exists in the connection that's perpetually strengthened and modified by the additions of others. :P Hence T:CAT NAME.


 * Even if we have a definition of the categories that's perfectly internally consistent, we need to make sure it's evident enough in the names and category descriptions that future users will apply the categories correctly. "Above all else, category names must not be open to multiple interpretation, and must be free of any bias or value judgements."


 * How can we best achieve this, while still maximising accuracy in categorisation? Do we have enough of a problem in our hands to justify moving completely away from the historical "Murderers" structure? If that is our plan, perhaps we should be bringing this up in the Panopticon (in the next few weeks; it will get most attention later as we approach the new series). 02:45, February 13, 2017 (UTC)

Just seen your message
The heading comic implies that they are comics, such as we don't put BBCtv. As the heading already tells us that.

Also, I remember a year old thread which an admin said that variables such as (cameo) and (flashback) weren't allowed as brackets aren't.

I'll re-add the "Doctor Who:" segment when I get chance as I didn't catch that piece of the request. 82.3.146.201talk to me 14:17, February 13, 2017 (UTC)

Roger (and Hammerstein, and anyone else in fact)
Not sure if you're familiar with this feature, but it's very easy to use. Let's say you wanted to create the dab page Roger:
 * Will give you a complete list of all pages Roger:


 * You can achieve the same thing, in this case, with just the first two lines, but you'd end up with a long bulleted list. In any case, I notice, for example, you've been added Roberts to the dab page Robert. So with this same format:


 * It will in fact give you a list of pages with "Roger" in them, which are not already at Roger:


 * All Roberto, Roberta, Roberts/Robertson, etc. You've done a good job, it seems. Or maybe you'd want to widen the search to include all pages starting in Rob.


 * Replace  with , by the way, and you'll end up with all pages where "Robert" can be found anywhere in the title, not just at the beginning. If you're searching for a surname, you might want to include   at both ends.


 * Anyway, I thought I'd introduce you to this little useful tool. I could feasibly make a template to make the process easier, but if you just add the above to User:Amorkuz/sandbox (or User:Amorkuz/DPL, or anything, really), you might find it a lot easier to generate such a list for editing purposes. I don't much trust the search function. As I don't work for Fandom/Wikia, I can admit that Special:Search is just a bit shit.


 * Sorry if this looks like an overload. I've had a tiring day, so I would usually try to be more concise. 02:12, February 14, 2017 (UTC)
 * Glad you like it. Delta sounds like a great idea, and to answer your question, it can indeed include pages with Delta anywhere in the page name. Enjoy! 04:39, February 15, 2017 (UTC)

BHS
This is not important at all, but I am curious: do you call it BHS for "BeHind the Scenes"? Are you just shying away from referring to that section as BS? I consistently call Behind the scenes BTS, personally.

Yep, that's all. Bye. 02:18, February 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Anything ringing any bells? ;) 00:38, February 17, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Personal attack and Rump Parliament
You are correct in many ways - I've acknowledged that the statement was in violation of T:NPA, I've recanted the offensive phrase, and I've asked Shambala to make the policy more clear in this regard (since "confused" and "naysayer" aren't insults in my book). But as it happens, your understanding of the comment is wrong and unsupported by the actual text; I did not, in fact, have you in mind when I wrote it, and if you reread it, you weren't "named as one of the 'confused naysayers'" as you claim. I personally don't think you're confused at all, actually (though if you think you are, that has nothing to do with me). In any case, I agree that we should stay civil and edit well etc etc.

In regards to the Rump Parliament, I think the consensus on the talk page seems pretty sensible; unfortunately, I too have not read any FP stories involving the Rump Parliament. If and when I read the relevant story, I'll definitely add material to that page. NateBumber ☎  19:56, February 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * I fixed some grammar in the above and changed around some words for clarity. A ninja edit, if you will. Although, while I'm here, I'd like to say that I don't really take kindly to you implying I tried to "push" Magrs via inclusion debates, or implying that I helped to "shove Magrs down [the wiki's] collective throat". At least, I'm pretty certain you meant to include me in your supposed cabal of "three people, all known for their love of (currently) invalid stuff"? NateBumber ☎  20:06, February 27, 2017 (UTC)

Introducing... T:DAB LINKS
Nah, it's not as flashy as I'm making it sound. Tardis:Links to disambiguating pages is simply a link dump for "lonely" dab pages, which aren't linked to from any article, so they don't show up on Special:LonelyPages. But since you've been taking an interest in dab pages of late, I figured I'd let you in on this particular maintenance page. So you know, we no longer bother making the list there alphabetical. 00:15, March 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd never really considered it, but, logically, a DPL query updates its results on a page save. So it seems if you hit publish, you'll get the latest list there. Good question. 00:25, March 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I have no idea. I guess DPL can be temperamental. I doubt there was an edit right before your last save. 01:17, March 2, 2017 (UTC)

Wanted pages
Oh man, believe me, I've tried. This should have fixed the problem (edit), but it didn't. Turns out, as I'm seeing now, January last year, Bold Clone made the bold move of bringing the talk page link back. This leaves us with two options:
 * 1) I can make a little template to just put at the top of all those talk pages, so they're no longer redlinks.
 * 2) We can revert the template to 2013 (last edit before Bold Clone's), so there's no link to the template talk pages at all.


 * What would the message say? 22:14, March 2, 2017 (UTC)
 * Or we could just remove the redlink from the template entirely, and all those wanted pages items will be gone. If you think leaving the link and creating the talk pages is the better option, I'll think up what it should say, and implement that in the near future. 04:29, March 3, 2017 (UTC)


 * I have now removed the discussion link at Template:Navbar, and I've fully protected the article so it stays that way (until further discussion). Thank you for bringing this issue back to me. 02:29, March 18, 2017 (UTC)

Bovril
From what I remember, Year of the Pig has quite a bit of beef in it. I'm sure Bovril is explained in the story. Do you want me to have a listen for it? CoT    ?  00:44, March 18, 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually, you've probably gone to sleep, so regardless of whether you want me to or not, I'm making bovril. CoT     ?  00:51, March 18, 2017 (UTC)

Sticks and Stones
A minor point, but should "Sticks and Stones" perhaps be a page for the rhyme? I noticed you made a Wikipedia link to that rhyme at Terrorformer; currently, the above name links to Sticks & Stones (comic story), and that very story features the rhyme itself. In writing this, I've already convinced myself hehe. If I changed all the links and ev'rything, would you consider writing up the article? 02:24, March 18, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Bovril
I would need a relisten to the Audio but checking the page all the information I would have is already on there. But to answer your question Bovril is a British Drink that is often drunk before bed. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 09:23, March 18, 2017 (UTC)
