Entertainment footer
Hi there -- I'm working on a project for Wikia to help link the science-fiction wikis together, and encourage people to see this as one big site, rather than a lot of little wikis. I'd like to post this footer at the bottom of the main page.

The gaming wikis have started a similar project, and they've seen a lot more cross-traffic. Would it be okay to post this at the bottom of the main page here? You could also feel free to edit it, to fit in better with this community. -- Danny (talk ) 20:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't see too much of a problem with the footer, I'd just suggest that maybe the Hitchhiker's Wiki also be included in the footer.
 * Also where exactly is it located (so it might be edited in the case that other members wish to)? Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't realize that the Hitchhiker's wiki was active again; that's cool. I added it to the footer, and also to the Entertainment hub. I moved a copy of the template here, so you guys can edit it -- it's at Template:Scififooter. Thanks! -- Danny (talk ) 12:17, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Novel Update
Hi, sorry I've slowed down this week, life and all that, just enough enegy left to browse! Just to let you know, in case you don't already (unlikely I know!) but I've now redone the Target Novelisation Covers page (which I hope is good enough not to be now deleted), and first and second Doctor adventures. I totally get your point now, and thank you from saving me (or someone else) loads of time later. Hope I did the replacement pages ok and the proposed deletion ones (my mistakes, my job to put it right!). I've kept the Doctor Who- bit at the front in the infobox ONLY (and the cover title caption(not the link pages) - hopefully to clarify the title for others, as well. The information I have collated is from several sources of my own and thats why I said I'd go back and add extra detail later it is easier for me. My todo list for novelisation if you're interested,currently looks like this, and hopefully done by the time the Target Book gets out;
 * 1) continuing to create/reformat a page per book for Doctors 3-7
 * 2) go through the TV stories and add the appropriate novelisation link page for further information, to the basic bits on the story page.
 * 3) revisting infobox for enemies, settings, page count, and publisher tidy ups
 * 4) adding internal illustrations and alternate covers
 * 5) adding publication histories and details
 * 6) add some deviations
 * Also graphic novels, DWMS, comic strip details, and then some more DWM.
 * If you're happy with it so far, feel free to tidy up the novel section on your talk page... Does that sound patronising? Wasn't meant to be, just if you think I've learnt something from it you can remove the long bit..just not sure if its for me to say?
 * The science fiction wiki link is a good idea I think, if it works both ways.
 * Anyway, keep up the good work, and thanks again. The Librarian 20:39, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't mind what you do (or when...I don't mean to sound uncaring take it as very laid back...) everyone goes through points of energy (and lack there of).
 * I'm glad you see my side of things concerning the whole novelisation thing. But a great a mammoth job you've done thus far with everything.
 * I was leaving the novel section there (just in case we had further...discussions over it).
 * I'm happy with the pages (though odd as it may seem I don't look at every single page on here...maybe every third...or any that take my interest...and some others occasionally). --Tangerineduel 13:46, 22 September 2007 (UTC)


 * thanks for the picture swops, I was young at the time! I'll include the internal illustrations at some point but want to try and clean them up first. Thanks again.The Librarian 16:51, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

If you get a minute please Help!
RE: Doctor Who Magazine - Graphic Novels.Hi, going around with this one and can't work out what's happening, something obvious I bet I'm just missing it! I can't get the images from the thumbnails on the page (DWGNX.jpg) to load on the individual title pages in the infobox. (Accidentally re-edited Tides of Time image as well so there's a couple of deletions there, now reverted back, sorry)The Librarian 21:24, 29 September 2007 (UTC)


 * First why eaxactly did you upload another image of Abslom Daak and Mark of Mandragora the images on the wiki are higher res and clearer. (Please look before uploading in future).
 * You're going to have to point in me in the direction of what/which specifically you're having a problem with, which page in particular I mean. --Tangerineduel 14:43, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I've had a look at the images, and I don't know, I've re-uploaded one (Oblivion) and that seems to have fixed it.
 * Where abouts are you sourcing your images for this endeavour? --Tangerineduel 14:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Might need some help here,sorry. Firstly it didn't matter how often or for how long I waited yesterday but I couldn't get the images to appear, sometimes I had error messages, sometimes `empty file'. At one point there was a wiki technical problem. But if you didn't do it, it must have sorted itself out. I wasn't aware I had re-uploaded the two images, I thought I had incorporated elements from the existing pages. If I didn't, sorry, I'll will try and be more careful in future.


 * I haven't quite sussed the image searches yet. The gallery pages seem sparse and I don't know yet how to categorise them.Just getting the hang of the `|`!! I may have overlooked the fact that some of the images have already been downloaded without an attached page.


 * Sourcing. Are all the images used usually pulled from elsewhere on the web? I've generally used my own scans, not the best of quality I agree but I was worried to some extent by the copyright info I read (re: rights, reproduction and quality) and the size of files. Advice welcome.


 * RE Izzy / Izzy Sinclair. As most of the links to Izzy occur on the pages I'm working on, and the surname Sinclair only appears to be mentioned in about three stories it occurred to me that she is generally regarded and known as simply Izzy. The wiki notes said that articles should be created using the most widely accepted `description/name', presumably with more information on the article page. Not bothered either way it just seemed sensible at the time (and shorter to type!). Oh and I hadn't overlooked 'the what links here' bit before you think it. Should I put a note in article discussion in future or would it be better to run it past you first, or add it to forum? Not sure about this bit either. Bye for now Key to Time's arrived!

 * It says...somewhere about the names that it's probably best to include their full name and retain the redirect (at least that's my interpretation), her name might frequently be Izzy, but her full name should be the title of the article.
 * The images are fine (I just thought it might be something about the images causing the problems), my response was a little short and to the point (lack of sleep). As far as rights and whatever...eh...I wouldn't worry about it, they're covers of books etc they're public domain enough I think.--Tangerineduel 14:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)


 * As to the images, I just assumed that you might have had a look at the Mandragora/Abslom Daak articles prior to uploading a picture for the articles/gallery, that's why I thought it a little odd.
 * as I used the existing page I assumed I had kept the original picture, that's what I meant about being careless sorry my mistake, not my intension. Points noted with thanks.The Librarian 21:20, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * As for the name thing, full name is generally best (though if you think either way add a redirect for the latter), if someone thinks differently it'll be switched around.
