If you need to leave a message here on my talk page, please follow a couple of guidelines: Also also please don't use my talk page to argue with other users. --

 * Also, if you are starting a new topic, please add a new heading.

WaltK's ban
Hello! Just notifying you that User:WaltK posted a message on your Community Central talk page appealing a ban you gave him, in case you didn't get a notification. His case seems reasonable at first glance, though I haven't looked into it personally. Scrooge MacDuck ☎  21:02, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, you never replied, so he contacted me as per Help:I'm blocked. I've taken it upon myself to unblock him. Although his message did contain profanity it wasn't a personal attack directed at any individual, so I think the time he's already been blocked is plenty sufficient for procedure — and he does do very useful work in the main namespace on the Doctor Whoah! pages and whatnot, whatever he'd done in the Discussions area. Scrooge MacDuck ☎  11:31, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Sock puppetry and likely vandalism
Hi, there are two users that may be sock puppets who are creating/adding fan fiction, Sarahkitt85 and 82.25.60.41 Valeyard12.5 ☎  21:53, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Tally
Hi there, I just found myself having some difficulty counting up the marks in the Tally on your user page. So in case you want to replicate regular where every group of 5 is signified by four lines struck through, I thought I'd let you know that this Chinese symbol exists: 卌. (Of course, you could just use ||||, but where's the fun in that?) Hope you've been well! – n8 (☎) 14:06, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Rename Tag
Hey, I noticed you've asked for a rename tag for the page: https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Segun_Akinola_Lietmotivs

I'd like to change it to "Segun Akinola's Leitmotifs" but I have no idea how to make a rename tag. When I try and find other tags I don't see rename and then I'm not sure how to add it to the article in question.

Do you have a guide for this?

Thank you :)

Re: OS12th
Oh, yes, thank you for spotting that! One of the listings should be User:Amorkuz, of course. Scrooge MacDuck ☎  05:14, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

FandomDesktop migration
Hey there! We are due to migrate this wiki very soon to FandomDesktop and I need to help get a light theme ready. Apologies for the short notice of this, there were some unforeseen circumstances.

It would be great to work with the entire admin team to get the wiki ready for FandomDesktop. Have you been using the new skin? I'm going to start some preparation tomorrow and it would be great to work with the admin team on this. We may need to:


 * Adjust the theme on light theme
 * Adjust templates
 * Adjust CSS/JS
 * and more potentially.

If you have any suggestions for how we can collaborate, please let me know. I wondered if a forum thread on Forum:Index might work? Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you! --Spongebob456 talk 18:47, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Timeline template
I'm a new user on this fandom, though I am currently the owner of Eminem Wiki, so I'm not a complete stranger to editing templates. I noticed your timeline template has things a bit out of order and doesn't include certain years. I was wondering if you could give me an opportunity to take a look at it and see if I could make it properly display the years on the Timeline template. However, I will not complete any edits without running it by you. - Kris tha 6'7" ☎ 17:22, 23 July 2021 (CST)

Timeline update #2
So, I believe that I've come up with a solution to the issue with the timeline template, though, I did create a new page called Template:Order of Centuries, which is useless and should be deleted. I'm not entirely sure of my revision for the Timeline template issue, so I'm going to give it a shot under Template:TimelineRevision. If it works (and I'm going to test it out briefly on the Timeline page), I'll let you know. - Kris tha 6'7" ☎ 18:10, 24 July 2021 (CST)

Community Connect
Hey there! Can I confirm you received an email re Community Connect please? May be in spam and it's to the email associated with your Fandom account. Is this something you would be interested in attending? Thanks! --Spongebob456 talk 10:28, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

RE:
You are most welcome :) LauraBatham ☎  05:21, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

Little Shop page
Hi there! I created a page named Little Shop and you removed it because you don’t make pages about running gags. May I ask why? It may be a stupid question but I’m just curious. Caroline ☎  00:45, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

The Master page
Hi. I think The Master page may need a bit of admin work to fix the vandalism from our recently blocked "friend". The page has the correct title at the top of the page, but the infobox, talk page, and history pages still have the vandalised title. And there is still a redirect as well. LauraBatham ☎  04:30, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Dalek Page Vandalism
It's come to my eyes that upon loading the wiki, someone has vandalised the Dalek page and called it JEWS MUST BE EXTERMINATED! It seems upon viewing that someone saw this and made a first time edit to remove an antisemetic comment at the top of the page and they have left a note about it requesting that a mod or admin clear everything up. However, the page name remains the questionable statement.

Videos
Could you please upload this official trailer for Battle of Time (video game)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pe05WrO7W98 EpsilonGamma ☎  11:04, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Fandom projects
Hi! Got a couple of things:

As this wiki used to use Special:Forum, Fandom wants to make sure that old forum links and references aren't cluttering up maintenance special pages (unusedfiles, needed pages etc). Would you mind checking and letting me know asap as to whether that's an issue for this wiki? Just looking for dead links to forums in special pages, or links to images used in forums but are now dead, stuff like that. No need to attempt to cleanup yourself, I just need to know if they exist.

Secondly, did you receive an email sent last week I believe inviting you to The Downstream on September 10th? The email is titled "[The Downstream] Ask Fandom Anything, Social Media Tips, and Data Insights". I just want to confirm you received the email as we know Fandom outreach emails often land in spam.

If you could let me know about both of those things, that would be fantastic. Thanks! --Spongebob456 talk 09:44, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi there, just a reminder that The Downstream is Friday, September 10 at 11am EST at https://www.twitch.tv/Fandom. You can register/RSVP and add the event to your calendar here. That page also gives a lot of detail on what the event offers. Any questions, please let me know! --Spongebob456 talk 12:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Vandalism
Just wanting you to know, Someone has vandalized Dinosaurs on a spaceship right side bar pretty badly Andy Liu1978 ☎  20:29, 29 August 2021 (UTC)Andy Liu1978

Yeah the same vandal is back under a different account. He's vandalising the same page and signing it with the same comments Valeyard12.5 ☎  18:46, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

Still don't see a good reason,
Could you please give me a specific Link? Thank you.

Lavel Article Name change
The Lavel article has had a tag on it for over 4 years, and no one other than myself has made any kind of discussion on the article talk page regarding the name change. Given the sheer amount of time for users to discuss such a change, unless you or another admin has any objections, I move to change the article name, either by myself if I can get the go-ahead, or an admin with more familiarity with the process. Pbandfluff ☎  18:41, 31 August 2021 (UTC)

Apologies
Im sorry, I didnt know that fan-fiction wasnt allowed and I didnt thunk that my post catagoriezed as Fan-Fiction.

Galaxies of apologies - Justin_story56

Redirects
Yeah, I left the redirects intentionally since they're all being used by other users to link to my sandboxes, and I'm not comfortable editing their messages or breaking their links. – n8 (☎) 16:50, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

Blanking
Hi there’s a vandal who has blanked the Master’s and Thirteenth Doctor’s page Valeyard12.5 ☎  05:49, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

The Sarah Jane Adventures
I just noticed a user is reverting edits you made to the page The Sarah Jane Adventures, which as you're an admin, I seemed was quite odd that they would revert specifically the stuff you edited. EDIT: I forgot to sign this. ThomasRWade ☎  11:07, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Vandal on the Dalek and Davros pages
Hi. There is a vandal that keeps editing the Davros and Dalek pages. I have undone their edits a few times, but it's starting to get into edit warring territory, so could you please have a word with them or block them. Thanks. LauraBatham ☎  23:42, 2 October 2021 (UTC)

Checking in
Hi there! Sorry it has been a little while since I last checked in, I have been out of action for the last two weeks unfortunately. How are things going? One thing I did notice was that the navigation in dark theme, the Explore tab in white is hard to read. Have you guys noticed that? Figured if we do what we did before and if we continue a single thread on my talk page, it might be easier for us to keep track. Hope that's ok! :) --Spongebob456 talk 09:02, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

Forum Confusion
Sorry if this is a ridiculous question, but I wasn't sure where I should ask. I wanted to make a forum post - specifically in the Panopticon, regarding something I'm really campaigning for something to change on the wiki.

I've been out of the loop for a while and the Fandom updates sure do confuse me, but I digress.

When I try to make a forum post here I get hit with a "You do not have permission to edit pages in the Forum namespace." I know forums weren't a thing for a bit but I see they're here now and would like some clarification on this!

Thanking you!

StevieGLiverpool ☎  00:29, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * @Shambala: I've informed User:StevieGLiverpool on his own talk page that the Forums still aren't functional — but I'm taking this opportunity to spread the word to you that User:CzechOut has told me in off-Wiki chats that he hopes to have Board:The Panopticon functional before November. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 00:33, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Checking in
Hi again! Just checking in to see how things are going. How're things on the wiki? All set for the premiere? :) --Spongebob456 talk 10:52, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

Username change
Hello. You closed my thread, and I hadn't the time to write you a reply before you did. Regarding my username change... I have my old username in my profile. It's there, right after "aka". Isn't it enough? Lil&#39; Golden Rat ☎  02:39, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Reverted page moves
Hi, I'm terribly sorry but I noticed that you reverted both of the page moves I made today (FI's teas and Depositary 23) with the explanation "Cleaning up after page move by non-admin" and I was wondering if you'd be willing to tell me why, so I can avoid making similar mistakes in future? I thought I had reasonable grounds for both moves, and that neither would break anything (both pages being fairly minor articles and leaving the redirects); is there a blanket ban on non-admin users moving pages or something? Apologies Starkidsoph ☎  05:28, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Concern about New User on the Discussion Baords
I'm concerned that a new user on the discussion boards, DoctorsIBS, is a troll as they are not only spamming posts, but being generally unpleasant in their choice of posts and discussions. Lucian Corbyn ☎  20:57, 3 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks for bringing this up, Lucian. User:DoctorsIBS is also vandalising several pages on the wiki to boot. Danochy ☎  21:00, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Question
While I do apologise for choosing the edit summary as the place to initially bring this up, as you can't exactly have any sort of nuanced discussion there due to its format and this is the kind of thing that needs slightly more nuanced discussion, but if I may ask;

WHY is it that;

1. Any other kind of adaptation (such as audio adaptation, TV adaption of an EU story, etc.) is listed seperately in the infobox

2. Novelisations themselves are listed seperately in "list of appearances" pages

3. Novelisations aren't listed seperately in infoboxes

Seems a bit... just odd to me, is all. NightmareofEden ☎  10:35, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Why don’t you have certain rules that you often bring up in the discussions guidelines?
You always tell users to contact an admin's talk page for stuff to do with the main wiki rather than bringing if to discussions, but why do you not have that in the wiki guidelines? This includes other stuff such as no advertising other wikis, always have titles that "make sense", complain about other users on an admin's talk page if you feel they've done something wrong, and no celebrating their birthday. (unless it's Doctor Who themed, I guess) I bet you could think of more examples. Why are rules like those rules not in the guidelines? It would save you and other users time cause you wouldn't have to warn them about it (at least if they've read the guidelines). GaganTopia ☎  01:49, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Poopybtutholee
Hi hope you are well. A user Poopybuttholee is vandalising pages, as well as have an unacceptable username. Valeyard12.5 ☎  07:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Re: User questions
Hi, I was not intending to present myself as an experienced editor with whom people can come to for general questions. When it comes to most things, including policy, I agree that an admin eould be better. However, I have spent the majority of my time here on Tardis looking into the technical side of editing, including a lot of time spent on the forums situation. Therefore, I would consider myself more experienced on this topic then most editors and am happy to share what I know when it is relevant. I am sorry if I overstepped my authority (or lack thereof) here, though. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎  08:33, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

Re:Message to IP user
Hey. Thanks for your message; if that's the case, I'll just leave them to it. Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon ☎  12:07, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Question re: ICC rules
Hello;

I noticed you removed this file for "multiple violations" of the ICC rules. Upon review, however, I could not determine which rules were broken by the image. Could you help me in this regard?

Here is a Google Drive link to the file so I don't break the same rules for reuploading the image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AbbwnSAb01GwfM9-88WlhhFByUzjP6fn/view?usp=sharing
