Font size changes in new CSS
FYI, it's pretty bad form to change the size/style of text when it is a link and you hover over it. I had a few cases on the RecentChanges page where the bold changed the font width, and my cursor was no longer over the link to click on it. The link text should not change in such a manner, as the width of things changes awkwardly. The best thing to do might be to simply change the color, not the style of the text. -- sulfur 18:45, March 1, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Thanks

 * Thank you for your kind words, czechout. Also, congratulations for being the first to leave a message on my talk page. I believe that if editing on the TARDIS Index File – or any other Wikia for that matter – is worth doing, it's worth doing well. And I'm glad you appreciated my work at Winston Churchill; it took me ages to sort everything out and type it all in... :-) Freddie R. Aldous 21:35, March 2, 2011 (UTC)

Imdb
Something is up with Template:imdb name. The gap between the name and the link seems to have grown. I'm not sure if this is a side affect of the new design, or merely something I haven't noticed before. The page hasn't been edited for some time.Skittles the hog-- Talk 22:09, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

All
I am pretty sure this problem exists for all external links, not just IMDB. ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 21:48, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

The King's Dragon
I though I did add a reason. I unprotected it because it's already been published, it came out in July last year. Now unless we a policy that protects books that have been out for over 6 months now form being edited by new and unregistered contributors, I admit I made a mistakes. But I saw no need in protecting a articles on a books that, like I said had been out for 6 months, and I never understood why you reverted a User's contribution to that page.

Canon policy rewrite
I tried to read through this and take both the "new user POV" and from a long time editor view where I would need to say to another user "it's stated [here] in the canon policy why X isn't allowed".

The intro is a little too wordy.

A policy needs to be a laying down of the rules.

I don't want to think about Rose/Dodo slash. Nor do I want to think about (though I have read) Tenth Doctor/Rose slash and I also don't want to consider the Doctor/Master slash (for which I blame the DW forums and DeviantArt for showing me). I think maybe just replace that sentence with "some fan's fan fiction".

As much as I dislike lists for some things, a list is what is needed at the forefront of the canon policy; "this is what is canon", "this is what isn't". A clear identification of what is and what isn't, the discussions are good to explain but there needs to be some simplicity to this as well, I know that's the aim of all the explanations, but we need to think to the enthusiastic/excited/irritated editor who needs/wants to know what they can start writing about.

What's generally canon
I can see your logic behind the statement, but it's very vague in terms of new users. Clear lists or clear info is likely better. Often the copyright notices are tiny or in the small print of things that it can be missed. Also there's a variety of permutations of © BBC (BBC Worldwide Limited etc) Looking at the Lost Stories Box Set, the only things that are actually listed as "© BBC" are the Doctor Who logo, the TARDIS image and the Doctor Who theme. Then there's "Doctor Who (word marks, logos and devices) and TARDIS, are trade marks of the British Broadcasting Corporation and are used under licence." Alternatively if we just say that it has to have © BBC there may be people trying to claim I dunno a Top Gear segment featuring the Daleks as it counting.

All of which is a little vague.

Canon is important
Examples like this should include at least two sources to demonstrate the scope of the policy say The Masque of Mandragora and Dreamland if talking about Sarah's adventures in Italy.

For the licenced by the BBC stuff, that needs to link to a list of some form, as noted above.

Things we don't consider canon
1. Chuck Fanfic.net as being outside the scope as well (as it's listed on one or more of the other policies), also maybe everything on DW Expanded (and linked off to it) 3. Nothing exactly wrong here, I'd just soften the language a little bit. 4. Needs and example of Big Finish's work we don't cover. 8. Do we? I thought we chucked it all into Doctor Who parodies. 10. Should have a clear statement about special editions (like The Curse of Fenric and the CGI stuff like The Ark in Space and Dalek Invasion of Earth. 11. Needs to be clearer, possibly with an example. 12. What of stuff like Doctor Who: Cybermen, where I think we get the names of certain articles like CyberTelosian from? Use of these references texts, should perhaps not use the REF tag but actually be sourced using the tags?

Other stuff; Have we finished the discussion concerning Charity publications? If not when we have a ruling that should be singled out and noted.

Why are some non-canon things allowed here
This has good info, but again a little too wordy, I'd strip it down to be statements rather than rhetorical questions.

Once more professionally produced parody…? I think we need a definite ruling on this as it implies it can have its own article rather than just the DW parodies page. There's also stuff like Trock, which is often professionally produced and vaguely parody.

Parody is a rather wide scope, I'm concerned about what floodgates we're opening with statements like this.

Final thoughts
I think we need a 'what this wiki covers' page as I think a few of the sections of the canon policy are trying to do two things; say what is not canon while still stating what we do cover and why we cover it.

There needs to be a list akin to what we have at the moment to clearly say what we cover. The Allowed list on the sub-page is good and clear. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:30, March 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand more what you mean (now that you've explained it to me), sometimes I sort of…don't see what direction things are aiming for.
 * I also didn't mean to make massive demands for you to re-write (or write) large chunks of things! I almost a few times while reading through your example clicked "edit" and started to change things, but wasn't really sure where you were going with it, so I thought I'd stick with analysis and comment.
 * Is IDW really not included…oh, it isn't is it….hmmm. I see what you mean. Though "This section is still in flux, as the policy is still under debate." is noted at the top of the "valid resource" and no where on the page does it say that IDW isn't canon, it's just not included (I know I'm deliberately splitting hairs here).
 * I do like the use of the word "narrative" (a little left field comment), but as a word for framing the canon policy it makes logical sense (though that just may be me).
 * Thanks for the reply and quick work on what admittedly was a rather long response to a simple request of my thoughts! --Tangerineduel / talk 15:19, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Curse of Fatal Death
I've just been reading your sandbox around canon policy, everything seems fine with it to me however I have a problem with your non-canon status of the Curse of Fatal Death. While the story is essentially a parody, EDA: The Tomorrow Windows portrays the events of this story as occuring in an alternate timeline for the Eighth Doctor's immediate future. The community decided that we should canonize this story due to it being directly mentioned in a canon story. --Revan\Talk 16:42, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Forum Page
I've spent the last 10 minutes looking for the blasted thing but to no avail. I'll keep looking but basically me, The Thirteenth Doctor and TD agreed that with the 8th Doctor seeing the CoFD 9th and 11th Doctors in his future through a Tomorrow Window then we should include it in canon as an official source directly refers to events and characters from that story. --Revan\Talk 17:19, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

Firstly, I don't like the way that your suggesting that I'm makling things up to get my point across. Although I can't find the forum page you can see the outcome of the discussion on any page related to the story as The Thirteenth Doctor placed a note in the behind the scenes section explaining why the non-canon tag is no longer on the page. My whole reasoning for sending you the message about the Curse of Fatal Death topic was so that you were aware of previous decisions towards that story and to not blatantly disregard them when imposing new policy. My message was more of a heads up to other things that may affect what you are trying to impose and not an attack on what your doing to the canon policy. --Revan\Talk 18:00, March 11, 2011 (UTC)

A quote from Talk:The Doctor (Party Animals) shows the Thirteenth Doctor referencing the aforementioned discussion:

Why is this not part of the Doctor Who universe as well? As with Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death), unless there is something that directly contradicts the TV show, I don't see how it isn't part of the DWU? It comes from what we consider to be a canon source, and as far as I know, doesn't contradict anything. Does anyone disagree? --The Thirteenth Doctor 23:22, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Quote of the week problem
Could you take a look at Tardis:Quote of the Week nominations, the text within the qotw template wraps so it avoids the contents but the actual template stays there below the contents. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:56, March 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * File:Quoteoftheweek problem.png. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:19, March 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for working on it so quickly.
 * I'm not sure if the TOC being the colour of the background works, as it makes the TOC look like a template of its own, not sure if it's the result of the colour of the TOC being layered on top of the background or what.
 * I toyed with two solutions; chuck the NOTOC on the top to just rid the pages of contents as it's not really needed on the quote page, or alternatively force the TOC to hide on that page by default. The latter I couldn't work out how to do for that page alone though. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:28, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I just mentioned the colour issue as it seems a large change to the TOC for one page. As we don't generally have templates that run the full width of the page on regular pages (the qotw page is the outlier in this case). That changing the qotw page/the template to suite the TOC might be better than changing the TOC to suite this one page. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:44, March 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Maybe that's how the TOC functions, there is a logic to it. Or rather there was a logic to it before Wikia forced the fixed width on pages. I'll stop pestering you and leave you to find a solution. Though there's always my simplistic solution of getting rid of the TOC! (Not ideal, but would fix the problem...). --Tangerineduel / talk 16:22, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

Template editing
Cheers for the notice. I was just tinker and testing stuff changing the colour to fit the more blue-ish design of the wiki and to make the protection template stand out, so it not too big a deal to me about my changes being 'swept away'. I appreciate the notice. Thanks. :) Mini-mitch\talk 21:30, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

RecentChanges format issue
In your latest round of changes, you've somehow made it so that the RC list is all double spaced for the main entries, which makes things a bit longer to read than normal. It also doubles the length of the page all things considered. -- sulfur 13:42, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Sentence case/Headings
I assume this is another working issue. As I seem to recall there was at least a little bit of discussion about the headings and formatting of them, and now they're all in capitals. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:57, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I can see your intentions, but I don't believe they will come through in the general operation and editing for general users.
 * It's not clear looking at what you get on the page and what's written in the MoS. The rule and the reality have become two quite separate things.
 * The TOC's appearance will not be enough of a reason for people to follow the MoS. The rules need to make sense and need to follow through onto the pages in big statements so people can follow the how and whys of the rules.
 * The headings are a different colour and a different font to the main body text, that should be enough for readers to discern a difference. I really think that the headings should follow how they're typed, while this isn't a change in the MoS it changes how the MoS's rules are shown to have affect on the wiki. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:09, March 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I also disagree, and I would note I don't take any issue with the font mix, colours, spacing, sizing, or anything except the use of all upper case in the headings.
 * A wiki is not just about reading but also about editing of the site and seeing the differences between. While it is important for it to have a consistent visual flow the editing experience also needs to have a consistent flow between what's edited and how it appears.
 * I don't believe, at least at the moment, that that the solution is to change the MoS. I would just like it to be open to the possibilty to have consistent lower case throughout the headings. I do though, ask this portion of the redesign be brought to the forums as I really have concerns for it. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:55, March 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did actually reconsider what I said yesterday. I was a little too quick to jump the gun, some things I see it churns over in my imagination, I am on occasion a little hasty, so I apologise for wishing to rush to the forums. Also musing on it, consistency is better and what I had forgotten (and is what is clear in the MoS, and it wouldn't have crossed my mind that you'd change it out of spite, your edits are always well considered) is that by having it hard coded we can change it in the future should we need to.
 * And, you're right you/your bot has made far more changes than me and my humble fingers and mouse.
 * As I've said before I have a very (very) limited knowledge of CSS (which basically amounts to read in the Community Forums/other wikis, implement and hope I've not broken anything, when on the rare occasion(s) I did something). So I probably wouldn't be able to change it if I wanted to hence my jumping the gun a little on that front.
 * The only real question I have, would there be a way to force a lower case? I'm just thinking on stuff like McCoy, where you need a lower case (I don't know the situation where we'd need Sylv's name in a sub-header), but I was watching the credits of Silver Nemesis and realised that all the credits are in capitals, except that letter of his name, and just wandered if we had the capacity, should we need to, to implement a lower case. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:26, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

New changes
Hi! Was wondering if you give any indication when things are likely to settle down. Im holding back stuff at the moment 'cos Im finding the various fonts and sizes a bit of a problem. Maybe the forum article about the changes needs updating as it says two weeks. Thanks The Librarian 21:07, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi! please dont tell me this is how it is now :( There are too many different fonts and sizes - the article text is is around 10 and the editing box about 14! Overall the design changes look good but seriously ... you need to magnify the screen to read some of it -take the block of text under the home page logo and the popular categories text ... if reading going to be that much effort I'm going back to books (joking - but at least I can bring the page closer). Please, please please reconsider this font is harsh on the eye and a regressive step no longer warm and inviting ( and it dominates my screen to get a successful width showing - not good for multi-tasking) The Librarian 19:33, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks I'm not a technical sort of chap so have followed your advise and switched to Firefox.I'll try what you suggested and see how I get on. Just when I think I'm getting the hang of things ... hey ho! :) The Librarian 20:22, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

--Tangerineduel / talk 14:42, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

The headings
I only have one real concern about the new fonts. It's the headings. I personally don't think it's should be in capitals and should remain how it was. I don't understand why it was changed, the only problem(s) we had when the original headings was Users that put the headings in title case instead of sentence case (which most Users changed when they saw them) and the other problem, although I never saw it as one, was the use of continuous sub headings (i.e on the Companion page). Could the headings have not be formatted to be a bit larger instead of changing it to all cap locks?

IMO, the capitalised headings lock dead awful. It looks like it a website for the near-blind. The headings look daft, the tabs along the top (mainly lifestyle and the link to your User page) run into each other as do their links in their drop down menus. (Mainly in Gaming). Also, because of the size of the new heading two some headings now run onto either two or three lines.

My suggestion would be: To bring all the headings up on level (meaning heading one would be used) or the font size in the headings is reduce. There are also a couple of complaint on the main TARDIS talk page about the font, just so you know. I hope you don't see this as criticism of your work, I just want to express my view on the heading. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything else you have done for this wiki, you have done a fantastic job! :) Mini-mitch\talk 20:41, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I will indeed try and get use to the new font and headings, and I hope they will grow on me. I am still have trouble with the overlays of the Lifestyle and Mini-mitch and in the wiki drop down menus. I reset my cache, but it had no effect. I'm using Crome, and I've downloaded Firefox to see if that makes a difference. By continuous sub headings (not the best way I could have put it) I was meaning a page that used all of the headings. I think if we were ever to go for a change to the headings, it should be discussed in the forums first, even if it's a small reduction in the font or if the spacing is reduced. Thanks :) Mini-mitch\talk 22:12, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've cleared the cache several time, using both the keyboard short cut and from the options menu. And it's not changing. Mini-mitch\talk 22:52, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Just thought I say I am also experiencing collision of headings. (It's not the cache, I checked) ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 22:07, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've checked my zoom levels, which are at normal (100%). I've tried zooming both in and out to see if it made any different, which it did not. I've also tried changing the text format, and that had not changed it either. I've checked other wikis, mainly Wookieepedia, Mass Effect and I have no collision on that (bearing in mind, they format is wiki standard) Mini-mitch\talk 23:08, March 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what I've done, but my heading is fine now. Thank you for your help :). Mini-mitch\talk 17:24, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Heading error
Here you go, I have also included a screenshot of the headings. I assume they appear differently to you as, on my screen, they're horrible. As you can see the overlap occurs with the user name and the drop down I can no longer read. Thanks Skittles the hog-- Talk 17:11, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

I was trying to show a comparison of headers. They looked daft on that shot, but with the enlarged text they look significantly better. The heading problem was cleared up when I cleared the cache. Thanks.Skittles the hog-- Talk 17:30, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Nav templates
Just wanted to say the nav templates are all looking very good and fancy! Also, just curious, with the glow around them, will there be any problems with several stacked up of the glow over lapping? I've tried it the Sandbox and it seems to only impact the bottom of the templates a little bit, making them a little more purple/blue when one is unhidden. It's a very minor issue though I'm not sure the average user would even notice it. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:26, March 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand you've likely got a mountain of tabs open and several things going on, so a little time taken doesn't worry me.
 * On the two you've highlighted the concern isn't the glow overlapping within, but at the top, it's sort of glowing over the external link, this is the only time it's really noticeable because the glow is over the top of a totally blue piece of text.
 * I don't think it's a huge issue. With spacing, I think you'd need so much spacing to see a difference/see each individual box's glow that it's not really worth it/would make it too spaced out. As I said I'm not sure an average user would notice the overlapping glows. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:13, March 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * It looks a lot better.
 * I can't really find any fault with it. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:50, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Problems
I have noticed a couple of things since I changed to Firefox, and I'm wondering if there is anyway we could sort these. The first thing is section of the infoboxes appear joined (i.e. there no line to separate the different sections.) This also appears in the table on the Series 6 episodes. By the looks of it, it show that episodes 10 and 11 are a two parter, even when they are not. Is this a fault with Firefox?

Secondly, I've noticed that when you put a list into columns, (e.g. the Series 6 cast, the aliens and enemies of series x pages), there is a box around them. This never appeared on Chrome. Is there a way to get rid of it, without removing it's function on the page? i.e. could we change the colour etc? Thanks. Mini-mitch\talk 11:00, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Here are two screenshot. The first shows the infoboxes that have the different sections running into each other (since the line separating them is missing) and the second one shows the problem with the prettytable as its called. The episode 10/11 is fine, they no longer run it to each. As for seeing if my browser is working, I tend to use the wiki activity page or the main page. I also refresh my cache and view these pages first. Thanks. Mini-mitch\talk 14:34, March 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm using Firefox 4. The infobox problem is not on every page, it just seems to be on random pages and random infoboxes (it's happening o the Multi-form page. As for the , its seems to be every pretty table i see, and not just the Series 6 (Doctor Who) page. I tried around 6 different pages, all of which had missing lines somewhere. I'll look through the Firefox options, if there are any updates or a newer version I can use. Thanks.  Mini-mitch\talk 17:15, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation
I recall that you brought up the issue of pages that directly counter disambiguation policy. I have come across several such pages, but, as is typical, I cannot remember them all. The only ones I can think of are the previously mentioned Planet of Evil (planetoid) and the extremely annoying Inferno (nightclub). Do you have any more thoughts on where to go with this? I don't want to start changing redirects without some sort of community consent. ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 19:44, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Lowercase human
I've noticed on many pages that human has been dropped to lower case within infboxes. Just wondering if this is going to be fixed (or is it on your to do list for the bot?) Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:13, March 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Righty. Also, if I manually change the lowercase to upper case (when I randomly come across articles) will that make it more difficult to implement the bot? I've held off when I've seen it just in case it made more work for you/the bot. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:06, March 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm not going to go through every article in a category (I've done that far too many times in the past already), but I do on occasion just hit "Random Page" and open several tabs and reading them through, and see the lower case human, and it's in those instances I would've changed it. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:16, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Badges
Hi. I haven't done much reasearch, but has the wiki ever considered using badges? I've been looking around wikia and lots of wikis have started using them.

Doctorwhospoilers
Since you brought the matter up, I should inform you that I have removed all references to that site from the Series 6 page, and replaced them. Has it been added to the list of website that cannot be used as a source. You were right about, most recently they've been using Spotlight CV as an source of an actor, but going back a few months, all they used was IMDB, so i removed these actors form the Series 6 page since no other source could be found. They also use they forums, and other website forums as sources for their spoilers, so you were right to stop linking to it :). Mini-mitch\talk 14:58, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Untagged images
While I appreciate your efforts, I don't think we need to over automate everything, even if it is a no image tag, the lack of an tag/image category (and the subsequent uncategorised images page) is as good as a no image tag, I mean a no licence tag doesn't mean anything more than the lack of a tag. Our various policies already provide us with the option to delete images without tags, and the image policy provides instruction about the how, what and why of image licensing and and the drop down menu and notices around it say pretty clearly what you need to do. --Tangerineduel / talk 11:49, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Stubs (and other problems)
I'm really liking the new stub templates - fantastic job! However, they cause a concern for me: White spacing; especially at the bottom of the pages. Should the template not be placed on the 'outside' of the page, as they were earlier? Personally, I think it looks more neater and like I said, saves of white spacing.

I am currently experiencing problem with the navigation templates, they now appear white, and when I 'unhide' to view it's contents, they seem to have a large amount of white spacing. Has this been implemented or am I experience some strange problems? Thanks. Mini-mitch\talk 20:17, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I give it a day and see what happens, and I hope it just a "wikia storm". If it remains the same after this time, I'll upload a few screenshots. Thank :). Mini-mitch\talk 20:26, April 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * My 'Recent Wiki Activity' is completely different to what it should be. I tried clearing my cache, which was to no affect. Like you said, I will have to wait and hope it fixes itself. Mini-mitch\talk 20:55, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Template Signature
Sorry. This is a really stupid question, but how do you change you normal signature to a template thingy like your signature? Thanks! Ghastly9090 15:22, April 8, 2011 (UTC) (That is what I want to change!)

Doctor Who Insider
With the launch of this new regular title may I suggest a new downloadable template (I've done issue 1 DWI Issue 1) licensing drop-down and maybe the inclusion of the cover on the homepage and a new abbreviation DWI. Thanks ... oh and some agreement on the title page DMI 1 /Doctor Who Insider Issue 1 / or DWI Issue 1 seems to be wanted!The Librarian 14:11, April 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I did follow the community discussion though it was still being discussed. And I havent noticed yet, but DWI is printed in the UK - but will keep my eyes open for Americanisms I usually take all references from source occassionally an error might slip in. Thanks again.

Bruce Master in template
Hey just so you know, the Bruce Master appears at the beggining of the Eight Doctors and leaves a trap for the Doctor. Because of this I've placed him back on the template as he does appear in the story. --Revan\Talk 20:25, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

At the very start of the book the Eighth Doctor goes to check on the Eye of Harmony and he sees a crystal on the side of the crack in the eye. The crystal is the Master and it gives the Doctor the amnesia that starts the story.

"In the stone corner of the closed Eye, something gleamed like a tear. The Doctor leaned forward to study it more closely. It was solid, like a tiny gleaming diamond. Surely it must irritate the Eye, thought the Doctor. Like those gritty fragments children call 'sleep' that they sometimes find in their eyes upon awakening. He leaned closer still. The little diamond started to blaze even more brightly. It glowed and burned and spun itself into a bolt of pure energy that lashed out and upwards and flashed into the Doctor's eyes, searing across his brain. The Doctor staggered back, his hands to his eyes and crashed to the ground. As he fell he heard a mocking voice. 'Always one last trap, Doctor. All's ill that ends ill...' Master's mocking laughter ringing in his ears..."

-Extract from the Eight Doctors

Image Template
Hi. Do we have a template stating that the image on a is bad (like: This image is fuzzy etc)? I couldn't find on when I was looking so I thought you would be the right guy to ask. Ghastly9090 14:03, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Did you see the above? Ghastly9090 15:37, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Stub ideas
You said you would take ideas for new stubs, so I have a few: Book stub (in-universe books), item stubs, and film stubs (although there are only two right now, it may come in hand at some point in the future). Mini-mitch\talk 19:56, April 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * As 'items' this would be general items that don't fall into a sub category (i.e The Doctor's Toolbag). Generals items would be Yo-yos, Water pistol, clock, etc (i.e objects that don't fall into any stub category). Would a clothing stub category be good, and you could use a tie for the image? Mini-mitch\talk 20:45, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Just chipping in with an idea, maybe for an in-universe book stub you could show a book with the seal of Rassilon on it and for an real world book perhaps a book saying "Doctor Who" on the front. --Revan\Talk 20:37, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

Stubs & templates
Nice work with everything.

Template:DWIA needs switching to as the others, I know it's not often used now/we're phasing out its use.

I've just got a little bit of a question on the nomenclature side of the stub category names, why "Drink stubs" rather than "Beverage stubs" I would have thought it'd be best to follow the category names.

I know you've done a building stub, but should we have a more general "location stub"? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:27, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Quote of the week. I still feel the more simple solution would be to force the Contents to hide on that page by default. As it's not really needed. But I'm not sure if it's possible to force-hide the contents on one page without it affect others. But on the qotw page it would solve many of our problems.


 * The question I have with regards to the NameSort template is, with articles it has problems with do you replace the TitleSort (if it's on there) with DEFAULTSORT? I have read through the documentation twice (but I keep feeling like I've missed something obvious, so apologies if that's the case).


 * I just thought there'd be some logic to the categories / stub categories. I don't think it matters that much, just if you're looking at a page for Konka, it's in the Cat:Foods and beverages (or just Cat:beverages) category and then in the drinks stub. I know some things won't match exactly, but some consistency is nice (or just obsessive…).


 * Stubs wise, would the solution for Behind the scenes / in-universe be colour? Make the BtS stubs just black & white and leave colourful pictures for the in-universe stuff? That way there's a real contrast between the stubs used for different things. And looking around most except magazine/TV are already b&w.


 * Canon rewrite. I was about to reference the "Forum:Is DWU canon" but saw you've already jumped on it. As I said I was thinking about going in there and editing things, but I think I'll wait till you've done your major edits (mine would've been more about copyediting, softening some language, editing down something things and other stuff like that). Though considering how many things you're juggling at the moment I think it's forgivable that you've paused on a few projects!


 * British words. This is somewhat tricky for me, as while I can edit things like this without really thinking about it, coming up with things for you to highlight and change is a little more tricky. But here's some I can think of at the moment (I'll maybe keep an eye on stuff as I edit and come back to you with a longer list).
 * Organization > Organisation
 * Novelization > Novelisation
 * Color > Colour
 * Neighbor > Neighbour
 * With artefact I know you said "artifact", but given the need for a ruling last year I went with "artefact" given it appears in more sources. (Forum:Artifacts or Artefacts of Rassilon?)


 * To quote the Doctor in ...ish "it's not 'i-z-e' it's 'i-s-e' and it's not 'o-r' it's 'o-u-r'."
 * Should I worry that you're proclaiming that your powers have increased exponentially? That's usually the time when you dial the 'gate and throw a naquadah nuke through...or...talk about rice pudding and use an ancient stellar manipulation device.
 * There are a few other things that slightly annoy me, but changing them isn't a major thing, it comes mostly from editing in MS Word and even some minor text editing software that turns ellipsis from ... into one character …, I learned this lesson early on when editing Sometime Never... (I created a lot of the EDAs offline in TextEdit). Another thing, which verges on pretty obsessive is on the DWM articles and it's almost imperceptible, you can see it on DWM 18, there's two/three uses of the apostrophe/single talking mark. `The Monsters of Doctor Who: The Mandrells’ and ` Story Fourteen – The Lionheart'`. I think in those two examples there's three different pieces of punctuation. I will continue to edit these things out (I had to look through a few DWM articles to find an example) as I've edited quite a few (and you will likely have not even noticed!), it's just the inconsistency that annoys me. But I can live with it, and I can see how giving the bot a job of switching around apostrophes could go drastically wrong very quickly. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:35, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

Some Iris Wildthyme charity stories canon?
I know, another canon-related question again, you must be getting sick of these by now. The website http://www.iriswildthyme.thiswaydown.org/index.html is a website created by Wildthyme/Doctor Who author Stuart Douglas who is also the owner of Obverse Books. Now on this website, proffessional authors such as Lance Parkin and Paul Magrs agreed to publish some of their Iris stories from Charity Publications on the site.

I was wondering if this made the stories canon in your eyes? --Revan\Talk 18:36, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Stub list
Once you've finished making all those pretty stubs, could you add them to the list at Tardis:Templates. ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 09:24, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Warning - reply
Are you serious? The guy was adding incorrect information which is classed as vandalism. He continued to add it and you took it upon your self to (quite rightly) block him. I was never clashing with policy and so should not receive such a warning from you. Please clarify this in future as you falsely accused me of incorrectly using stubs not to long ago. Sorry to rant and good look with the stubs.Skittles the hog-- Talk 13:27, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Don't sweat about the whole stub thing. I wasn't offended, I was merely pointing out that it was another recent case of false [word that means accusation but doesn't offend - :)]. I did discuss the edit as I'm sure you have seen on his page, and User:Revanvolatrelundar also reverted this info. I saw it as obvious vandalism as the user re-added even though I countered it. Therefore, at least in my eyes, I wasn't defying any policy. It's hard not to be offended when I see a flashing "Warning" heading embossing my page when my edits were only to prevent such rubbish making its way onto the wiki. While its obvious you need a third party in edit wars, they are still required to have grasped the situation. Thanks for making this mistake obvious to the user, and sorry if you feel "accused" of anything. Nothing I write is written to target anyone. ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 14:48, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

I can see that you're trying to be even-handed, and of course that is a positive thing. I'm not really sure what stance your taking here. At first you were stating that such edits need to be discussed. They were. Now your saying I took a stance over him. Wrong, none of my comments referenced any admin action. In fact it was your good-self that took said action. I'm a little unsure as yo what you expected me to do? I talked to him and explained that he was wrong. He replied saying he was going to re-add the information.

However, here I think is another mistake. I did not revert his edit again. I merely removed the incorrect facts and reworded his information, okay I still essentially reverted his edit but as he was then blocked I never received his comment on the changes. I think this could have worked out better if you'd of allowed him to voice his opinion. I know policy doesn't say anything about this but you could of at least allowed him to reply to your warning.

Okay, the info wasn't so obviously wrong as your crude example of the average vandalist (I know that's not a word), but when I read it, it was rambling on that only two Cybermen were killed. This was obviously not the case and, as he explained, it turned out that was not what he meant. I'm sure you know all this having read the posts, but I though I might just annotate what I saw happening.

Just to round of my major point: at no point did I threaten him! Seriously, just because I'm an admin doesn't mean I'm corrupt. Thanks for clearing up that heading thing; I can see how a friendly heading could be seen as some form of bias.Skittles the hog-- Talk 15:48, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

What I meant by the whole "admin action" thing, was that you seem to be suggesting that I did not allow him to voive his opinion. There's no question that I didn't. I don't know whether this is what you are suggesting in near-enough all of your posts, but it seems that way to me.

I'm a little unsure about your viewpoint on his info. Do you think that it is correct? I'm guessing not, but please state so if you do. I'm glad to see that you did intent him to voice his thoughts (not that I ever doubted this).Skittles the hog-- Talk 17:20, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

The info I added was NOT false. Yesterday I took the liberty of uploading of a screenshot of that scene. If you look, you will see that only two out of 32 have been killed. I don't know why skittles reverted it. I told him not to but he did anyway.--Dalekcaan14 07:44, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the above comment to me. It seems he is adament that onlt 32 Cybermen exsisted. He also suggested that they were winning the battle. This isn't what I saw, but hey, each to their own. ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 16:32, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

I've now posted a message on the articles talk page. The screenshot is on there as well. --Dalekcaan14 09:19, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

I've re-added the info like you suggested, and also added the screenshot, but skittles, revan and now mini mitch are reverting it again.--Dalekcaan14 05:41, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Unused maintenance images
There are a few unused image on this wiki that fall under the category of "maintenance". Since I am currently doing a clear out of image, I thought it be best for you to decide what is to happen with these images since it can been seen as your thing.
 * image one
 * image two
 * image three (the old cleanup image (also a duplicate))
 * image four
 * image five
 * image six
 * image seven
 * image eight (not sure if this is maintenance, it says screenshot, but I think it was once used)
 * image nine
 * image ten (not screenshot)
 * image eleven (duplicate, I think, can't see the other at the moment)
 * image twelve (duplicate of number three)
 * image thirteen
 * image fourteen
 * image fifteenth (I think this was used for the old comic stub)
 * image sixteen (Was the old inuse image)
 * image seventeen (Gone to pot, do we still use this?)

There are also two old image that used to be on the Companion page, here and here. I'm not sure what you want done with them, so I'll let you decide. Thanks. 16:02, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't delete image just because they are unused. I go through them all one by one and delete if they are blurry, under 250px (although I kept some that may be used in the future), if they are way over 1mb, if they are unrelated to DWU. If there is anything I am unsure about, rest assure I will put the tag onto the image and see what other User's think.


 * If that's not okay with you, I am prepared to go through the images every Sunday night and tag the one I think should be deleted (I'll still delete blurry ones) and then, on the Friday or Saturday if nobody has an objection to the images be deleted I will delete, if there is an objection I will remove the tag and comment on the image about the discussion, so it not up for deletion in future.


 * I agree, I find some really good images that are unused, and it is a shame that they're not. I adding some, and if I think any that you could use for the top of the page banners (forgot the name), I will link you. The images listed above are all maintenance either duplicate, very small or blurry and I though you might want to use them for something. Thanks. Mini-mitch\talk 16:42, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads ups, I'll keep that in mind. I'll start this Sunday and the deletion (if there is any) can take place between Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon. Like I said, the only images I delete straight away are the really blurry ones or anything that is obviously not to do with Doctor Who, anything else will have a tag on it. Thanks. 18:37, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sunday to Sunday sounds good. If you want, that's fine with me. I'll be okay to do it if your bot is busy doing something else. Could this become a policy, that all images that are going to be delete should be tagged and discussed? (Obviously instantly deleting sexual images, etc). 18:46, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Spoilers
Actually, no it doesn't. The text there states;
 * "Users should be aware that discussions in this forum tend to be started quickly after the first transmission of episodes, or the initial release of non-televised stories. Thus, if you haven't experienced the latest stories, this won't be a particularly "spoiler-free" zone. (Not, really, that the wiki in general is particularly spoiler-free, as our spoiler policy makes clear.)"

The spoiler policy even states "Spoiler information relating to not-yet-released stories must be kept to series or, in some cases, story articles." And nowhere on it does it say spoilers can be discussed in the Howling or on any forum. The closest we got to it was in Forum:The Howling, getting a little out of control where I brought up the discussion of spoilers. However, at the time Tangerinduel said;
 * "Spoilers in the forums however seem to often refer to information gathered from un-official sources. This doesn't fit into the forum's rules as what's discussed in the forum still needs to relate to the content of this wiki.
 * I don't think there should be discussions of "spoilers", what I'm seeing so far is people grabbing info from unofficial sources and running with the idea."

But the stuff Ghastly posted were from Official sources and were true spoilers. That's why I asked them not to post them again. Have I missed a discussion somewhere that states spoilers can be discussed there? --The Thirteenth Doctor 18:44, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Eurgh... but it does restrict it! The spoiler policy says "Spoiler information relating to not-yet-released stories must be kept to series or, in some cases, story articles." --The Thirteenth Doctor 19:54, April 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok. Can you change it to be more specific. Because if I'm misunderstanding it, then chances are others will too. I'm actually going to bring this up in the panopticon because it is something I feel strongly about. If it is the way you say it is then basically what we're saying to the entire wiki is, if you don't want to be spoiled, don't go to the Howling, because people can write whatever spoilers they want there. And then we'd warn those users that don't want to be spoiled about discussing theories on the article talk pages.
 * Let me be clear though, I'd be fine with spoilers there if we had another place to talk about theories without the possibility of future episodes being spoiled. That's why I originally brought up the idea of putting things like "Impossible Astronaut spoilers" in the title of the page so people would know where to not specifically go. --The Thirteenth Doctor 22:22, April 17, 2011 (UTC)

DWA first line query ...
Hi! I notice that that the change to the first line of the DWA pages has been changed - could we put it back to how it was? By that I mean the line that gives the magazine title Doctor Who Adventures is the only link on the page to the magazine homepage (which was why I used it in the first place) as the main author of these pages I find it very useful as a springboard to the main page rather than keeping typing in the search or back and forwards through the issues one by one. Thanks ... oh and by the way still not a category set up for Copyright Doctor Who Insider ... when you've got a minute. Thanks again The Librarian 18:54, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Malohkeh and other things
Hi! just noticed a couple of things
 * The Silurian Malohkeh has the incorect article title Malokeh and so needs changing
 * And who updates the main page? because the DWA latest comic strip is seriously out of date - I usually supply latest updates cover and comic strips within 10 days of publication if there is anything I can do to help on this! Day before release if I'm quick enough as a subscriber.
 * Perhaps its worth noting that a magazine is now now longer in print and maybe even including a latest publication list rather rather or in addition to comic strips to include other titles like Doctor Who Insider DVD Files (which I know is about to end iminently) but theres the new Doctor Who Monster Invasion card mag thing due any time ... or and the DWM specials while I think About it! Just some random thoughts .... Very sad tonight to hear ELisabeth Sladen has died ...63!! Whoever would have thought it. See Doctor Who does keep us all young :) The Librarian 01:45, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Discussion for theme redesign
Hi CzechOut, Rassilon of Old here, a long time Doctor Who lover, short time Tardis Wiki editor. I was just wondering if you could provide a link to a discussion about the new theme redesign?

Should we have a backgound image nominations page like we do with quote of the week etc and have on for each month? I think it would work relly well as long as there was a colour code, say blue shades, grey and white. Thanks. Ghastly9090 17:10, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Blogs
Hey, I've noticed that on user blog pages that the post comment box is placed above other comments and cascades bottom-up. This may be a wikia matter but it would make more sense for the post comment box to come below other user's comments and for other comments to be listed top-down. Is this something you can change or is it part of Wikia's un-changeable design of blog pages? --Revan\Talk 17:22, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Terms of Use issues
I just got a message from Wikia central which I think falls into your realm of expertise:

Terms of Use Issues
Hello Tangerineduel,

Some issues were recently brought to the attention of Wikia recently that I need to talk to you about.

First, while changing the text size and face is okay, the variation of the size on this wiki is causing some elements, like the Random Page and Recent Changes buttons to wrap/appear in places they should not. Please make necessary changes to the font size so the buttons that are a key part of the Wikia skin are in their proper places.

Secondly, you have replaced the link/text of "Wiki Activity" to "Recent Changes". I'm sorry, but this is simply not allowed and must be undone.

I will be happy to answer any questions you have on this and will work with you to make sure this gets fixed in an expedient but respectful manner. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:58, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * I am going to go ahead and make changes. Please feel free to tweak my changes in so long as they still fix the two underlying issues. --daNASCAT http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:09, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Talk page banner
Just so you are aware; during your period of absence, we had to battle with a lot of speculation on talk pages. I took it upon myself to change the talk page banner so it bigger and it stands out. However, it was a copy of the real world banner, and it therefore has a lot of stuff associated with that on it's page, here I am hoping you would be able to fix this, as I did not want to remove anything, as I had experimented earlier, and it went a bit... wrong.

Background
Totally understand about your absence, I assumed it had to be something keeping you away in the middle of all the changes and no note left. But thanks for looking to the CSS issue it's something that I didn't really want to even look into trying to rectify.

The background I also understand, I really wasn't paying attention when I reverted it, I thought it was just wikia playing up again, it was only after I'd reverted it and a moment after I'd closed the tab I realised it was your name and then, well oops and sorry. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:32, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Image for conjectural titles
Hello! You'd asked for suggestions for an image to represent conjectural titles, for Template:Conjecture. I'd like to suggest File:56.jpg, or perhaps a crop of the blank Psychic Paper from that or another shot of it; I think it'd be a fun and appropriate way to illustrate the idea of a title existing which we viewers are not immediately privy to. Rob T Firefly 18:39, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

The Corsair (& Hello!)
Thanks for the words of encouragement! I hadn't realized that the Oroborus was an actual monster from the Who universe. Instead I was linking to the Other Wiki's article on the mythological creature, who the Corsair's emblem is more or less identical too. We'll never know which one he was really referring to I guess. Poor Corsair. We hardly knew ye.

I know how wiki markup is supposed to look, and the conventions here and Wikipedia proper are more or less the same. I've made thousands of edits there. Just assume I'm being stubborn or lazy. Then instead of wasting energy being helpful you can have the pleasure of being cross with me instead.

Cheers! Salyavin 00:02, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Spoilers
Are you threatening me? "If you put any more spoilers, even the tiniest little scrap of the narrative future, even if you believe it's common knowledge, in any thread at The Panopticon, I will personally block you for six months."

- CzechOut Sorry, but that was put on the series 6 page! You can't blame me for copying from the page, and I know you said that, but I am hurt and disgusted about the way you replied (nods to the above). Most of the users that bother to go on the Panopticon have looked at the Series 6 page at some point, seeing as most of the discussions at the present time have some sort of reference to it. The example that I gave was actually taken from the official website. It's hardly a spoiler seeing as not only was it shown on the website, but it was shown on Newsround and the Radio Times. I know you are an admin and just "doing your duty", but the way you replied was completly unesscisary. Please don't threaten me like that again. 15:10, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

All I wanted was for you to realise that what you said was a unesscisary and personal threat. By the looks of your message, you have, and I do agree that you did give me the benifit of the doubt and you praised me, but that had nothing to do with my message. Thanks though for replying. 15:56, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Two history links
Just wondering if you've noticed, within the Edit menu, there's two History links. I was just curious if that's from 'everything' or Wikia or something else? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:55, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Righty, thanks for explaining why. I had guessed it was something to do with the disappearance of the "edited by User" edit history that was up the top. (I can deal with quirks, just not knowing annoys me!). --Tangerineduel / talk 15:22, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

Discontinuity
Yep, sure.

Should we just name it "Discontinuity Index"? Or do we need to come up with a DW-esque name?

I'm not sure though having a dedicated forum will totally remove the possibility of spoilers, I'm sure someone will get onto the An Unearthly Child and pick an issue with it that crops up in a 2011 story, probably the Rani returning again; it turns out she was the old woman and has been stage managing the Doctor's life since he met Babs and Ian.

I hope the Discontinuity forum will bring back some of the interesting information aspect of the original "Discontinuity, Plot holes and errors", some of that was interesting/entertaining. Hopefully un-mixing the Discontinuity from The Howling will restore this (or I'll just stick to the quieter "classic series" stories).

Will the creation of this forum mean we'll have slightly less long page titles/sub-page forum titles? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:31, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Infobox - preemptive note
I've seen you allude to a make over of the infoboxes in several posts. I just wanted to leave a preemptive note, please don't get rid of the story names in favour of arrows. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 17:12, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Background images & infoboxes
I've done an edit to the background images page.

There wasn't a lot that I thought could be cut out (as you can see by the edit comparison), as it's a fairly technical help page. It's something that only people with experience in Photoshop or similar editors (GIMP is the only other free one that's like Photoshop that comes to mind), so we don't need to simplify or cut it down too much.

I think if we cut more stuff it would loose its effectiveness as a helpful page.

One thing notable that I did change was the file limit, which you had as 100mb, the limit is 100kb. I've noticed you've written 100mb elsewhere, was just wondering if you've been reading from a different help page to this one?

The Howling and everything looks like it's going well.

Arrows as well as story titles may be over egging the pudding, but it's maybe something that needs more than just us thrashing it out. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:47, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia entertainment and our wiki's name
If you go to Wikia's entertainment page or anywhere on Wikia it lists our wiki as "Tardis".

And I can't work out why, it's not to do with MediaWiki:Mainpage, MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage or MediaWiki:Pagetitle which all display practically the same thing.

It seems to be reading just the actual wiki's address, but other wikis display their actual name. Any thoughts on where this problem is coming in, is it lurking in the Mediawiki pages somewhere or is it somewhere else we need to muck around with, I'd appreciate ideas, thoughts, musings or anything really. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:37, May 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, didn't mean to jump you in between jobs.
 * I'd never noticed it either until I was on Entertainment and saw it. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:05, May 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for being so quick and thorough.


 * I agree that playing at the big table is worth a little bit a name difference and you're right anything that we could replace it with would be long and cumbersome. Though a part of me thinks it should be TARDIS rather than lowercase, but it's a small thing and nothing to really worry about.


 * That description underneath...I am sure I've seen it somewhere before. The fact that it says "Doctor Who Wiki" suggests it's something that's been written in the past year or two (I'm sure I've seen it around though). EDIT: I've found it. MediaWiki:Description.


 * I would like us to be changed from "Dr. Who" to at least "Doctor Who" in the drop down menu, though like lowercase TARDIS this is a small annoyance.


 * How does the Wikia Entertainment header work, are the sites chosen, are they from some aggregated data (frequency of edits, new users...?) or is some other ranking system?


 * I'd have to say I've never noticed the "Around Wikia's Network" (I don't often scroll down that far), at a guess we'd have to submit an image or nominate an image path from where they can grab the image or something (just guessing). --Tangerineduel / talk 14:49, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Template:ArchiveList
I have experienced a problem with this template. I was arching some talk page that were really long, and I was doing them manually, and then I discovered the "archive" button under the edit list. The problem I have is: it archives the page and moves it to the correct name and stuff, but on the regulat talk page sghows a dead link to "Template:ArchiveList". You can see it here: Talk:The Pandorica Opens (TV story). Can this problem be fixed or are we to archive page manually, or at least add the link to the archive manually? Mini-mitch\talk 20:19, May 20, 2011 (UTC)




 * Last night, before I discovered the archiving problem the "Refresh" button said "Archive", so hence i tried it and this is where the problem lies. This morning, when I went to take a screenshot, the archive button was replaced with a refresh button.


 * I am currently using the default wiki skin, and it was only this morning that the archive button was replaced. If you are thinking about putting the archiving button back in (It may be very useful for User talk page which most Users do archive if they know how) and for talk page that are really long or have not been used for a number of years. If not, I am happy moving it manually. It's up to if you have the time and if you are willing to continue this feature, which is, in the long run, very helpful. Thanks. Mini-mitch\talk 10:06, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * I just refresh my cache now, and the archive link is showing again; well two of them are. Should I test them out? Ot should I just leave them? Mini-mitch\talk 18:34, May 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Here is the screenshot you asked for, but as you can see it has two "Archive" buttons. I apologise for the delay. Mini-mitch\talk 11:47, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I just done what you asked and I can now only see one archive button. Mini-mitch\talk 15:50, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Update
I'm just wondering how far ahead we are on this? Is this now up and running or is there still stuff to do? If there is still stuff to do and you need my help with anything, just ask! :) Thanks. Mini-mitch\talk 12:32, July 1, 2011 (UTC)

Archiving?
Nup, not a Windows user (though I'm not sure how you guessed I'm a windows user!?), also a Mac user. So I can't say I have noticed it.

I often don't actually often go into the edit menu, I've got so used to going to My Tools for history, and to edit I more often than not use the keyboard shortcut Control-E, the same for delete, shortcut rather than menu. I mostly only use the edit menu for Protect or Move/Rename. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:52, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, yes, I am seeing the archive link, two in fact, like the History used to do. (10.6, Firefox 4, plus on random occasions Safari and Opera) --Tangerineduel / talk 16:19, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Righty, for all the Java stuff in Applications it's 13.4.0 the same in Frameworks except JavaScriptCore 6533.20 and JavaScriptGlue 6533.19. --Tangerineduel / talk 17:44, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Problems with archiving & main page
I've just noticed, in messing around with my talk page, that while I can click the edit button and roll my mouse through the options I get to delete and then it just disappears. At first I thought it was to do with the User archives template I have at the top, but removing it doesn't help (nor does trying it in another browser; Opera in this case), I suspect it has something to do with the Contents box, as it doesn't appear to happen on other talk pages which don't have the Contents box present.

Also on the main page, at the bottom there's a rogue around the Other wikis and also right at the bottom just above the Languages link it says; Retrieved from "http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Wiki". --Tangerineduel / talk 13:10, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yup, no collisions, but still two Archive buttons. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:06, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just one archive button now. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:27, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Links
Hey, did you make a change to the link colours. Links I've recently visited usually change colour but now they're changing to a colour identical to that of the text making them invisible. Is this a change you made yourself, something Wikia's trying out, or just something I'm experiencing? ThanksSkittles the hog-- Talk 21:53, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ken MacGregor. BBC Lighting Director
May I point out that "The Firebird" is a Ballet - lit (as recorded) by Ken MacGregor in Studio 1 at the BBC.

Ken MacGregor was Lighting Director on many "Generation Game" Series.

Most of the information regarding programmes lit by K.M. are correct.

He was honoured in America for a particular Operatic Programme Produced & Directed by 'Paddy' Foy.

KM did & does exist and as mentioned and most (if not all) the entries under M ac Gregor are correct.

Best wishes & thank you for taking time to question my work!

US Presidents
I'm not really sure alphabetizing the US Presidents is particularly helpful... Aside from being difficult to understand without even decades as context, there's no reason (with the information given by episodes and additional material in-canon) that we can't place the Presidents that have been explicitly named or seen within their time zones. It would be like listing the kings and queens of England alphabetically, there's not really a purpose for it. Alternatively, the people and characters listed could simply be arranged alphabetically in a Category of US Presidents. Witoki 04:39, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do certainly understand the complications (or even question possibility) of chronologically listing all the US presidents mentioned, but if nothing else they could be separated by century. Additionally, it could be a list of US presidents explicitly seen to be president in canon (and avoiding "President Springsteen" references and such).  For example, the Doctor spoke highly of Harriet Jones and stated she would be Prime Minister for a long time, but then took her down himself shortly into her term.  It's very possible some of the implied references don't actually come true.  But we see President Winters in early 2008 in The Sound of Drums, just as we see President Lincoln in late 1863 in The Chase.  The wall of text is very difficult to use without some kind of context. Witoki 22:40, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Mediawiki, description etc
I left you a message about the MediaWiki:Description some messages back (14:49, May 21, 2011).

Your wording seems fine. We don't want it too long or wordy. The only thing I'm wondering though is do italics translate over to the Wikia pages? I can't see any examples of italics in use on their entertainment, gaming or lifestyle pages. The only one a lack of italics really effects is K9, but adding something like 'and the TV series K9' reads very awkwardly. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:41, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia welcome template
Not sure if you saw my comment here, but at MA, we came up with a clever trick to work around the "template subst'ing" that the Wikia bot does. -- sulfur 22:35, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Image requests
I think it was just people weren't using the page, looking at its history no one used the page from 2007 to 2008 when I deleted it.

I think around that time I was going through a lot of the pages to clear up the behind the scenes stuff of the wiki as up to that point there'd been a lot of pages created and then sort of left half way through or several pages that hadn't been updated for a long time so it was just a process of deleting or updating pages.

The Special:Import. As to the potential admin part I agree I think we should put it into the questions for potential admins that they should disclose any other wikis they're an admin on, so we can see examples of their work and/or to judge any potential conflict of interest.

I'm glad that this never went ahead. Though something that I did question about is the Template:Wikipedia seen on some articles which were sourced from Wikipedia like The Tenth Planet and City of Death, on the Community forums I asked a while back if we can ever get rid of them, probably not as there's always going to be some info on the page that originated on Wikipedia. See here for the Wikia Community forums answer if you're curious. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:17, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

companions
Thanks for explaining the changes, that helps a lot. Upon reading the revised article I noticed that the lists of companions for each Doctor is intended to be written from a narrative and in-universe perspective.

[insert sound of can of worms opening here]

So where does that leave Canton Delaware? From an in-universe perspective he's got all the earmarks of a companion (TARDIS travel time, three months assisting the Doctor, more than one encounter with the Doctor, and even an invitation of sorts to travel with him). So from a narrative perspective he should be a companion, even if he's not recognized officially.

I guess I'm kind of looking for a definitive critera as to how we're going to list companions, even if there isn't one.

Thanks,

Dallan007 15:33, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Deleted pages and talk pages
I just noticed something. If a page has been deleted, but it still has a talk page, the little talk response indicator on the top right will say "0", even if there still is a talk page. Check out Patchwork person, and Talk:Patchwork person. It's something that only will effect admins but it's still one of those odd quirks to add to the list of things we need to keep an eye on. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:37, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think it's just something not thought about, I was going to delete it, but left it just to illustrate my point. But I will admit that I've, when deleting forgotten to delete the talk page. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:09, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Your Right. That is a bit bloody harsh.

Yours Truly, Primeval13 17:36, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

CzechOut, you posted on my page about the video policy. I'm very sorry about violating the policy. I understand and won't do it again. In fact, after I uploaded the video, I realised I shouldn't have and thought I deleted it (I actually deleted 2 I had put up), but I had issues with my computer and I guess it didn't actually delete. So, I was actually surprised when I saw the message from you since I thought it had already been deleted. Again, I'm sorry and it won't happen again.

Your thoughts on something
Hey, I know you're really busy with the spelling issues (which is looking good by the way!). But I'd appreciate your opinion on this: Forum:Users should be allowed any youtube video on their user page.

As my immediate thoughts to respond were 'why would you want to?'. My concern is if we allowed the same for videos as for images users would just get around the video policy in the forums by saying 'look at my user page'. There shouldn't be any issue with users linking to YouTube (or other) videos, but the question I think relates to embedding the videos. I did just want to also reply stating that our user page policy states that it shouldn't be your primary contribution to the wiki, but I didn't feel it answers the heart of the question. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:53, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for dealing with the initial post so succinctly and far clearer than I would have done.
 * I haven't restored the video, rather just searched for it on YouTube, and I did have concerned about the age of the user, the video was posted 2 years ago.
 * I've had a look at the Wookipedia discussion, and while the COPPA applies to Wikia, not us as admins, Wikia's Terms of Use does apply to everyone who uses Wikia's service as a member.
 * So as the user has signed up as a member they've agreed to be bound by the Terms of Use and "Any registration by anyone under 13 is unauthorized, unlicensed and in violation of these Terms of Use".
 * The user, if under 13 can edit if they're an unregistered user (I think) as, when they're unregistered they're not bound by the Terms of Use, but because they registered then they're obviously in violation of the TofU.
 * We're just really lacking information I think, we're sort of judging based on a 2 year old video on YouTube (the profile of the video says the user is 45). Though looking at this image he's uploaded I think it's possible that he is 13 or under.
 * I've also not had to deal with an issue like this before, so I think we need to push this further up the chain of command, because they haven't yet done anything on this wiki that warrants a block, but they're a member of Wikia, not just this site. Do you want to contact them or should I? Or should we wait and see if Sannse gets back to you? --Tangerineduel / talk 09:53, June 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * One, thing, I was reading over your most recent reply on the forum.
 * In the case of YouTube videos they're not uploaded to Wikia's servers, they're embedded, so they're just linked to YouTube servers not Wikia's. --Tangerineduel / talk 13:48, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Protection
I didn't read all of you post as, if you'd read the discussion you added to, you would have found that I blocked it for User:Revanvolatrelundar, who thought that simply adding the template did so. If you had read his post on my page he comments that it should be blocked for "at least a day", so I assumed it would be around the 24 hour mark and left it up to him to unblock it, something I notified him about. This was simply a case of protecting it for him to un-protect it as he saw fit. Please check what your doing prior to clicking publish, I'm sure something like this has occurred before involving your good self. Thanks Skittles the hog-- Talk 15:28, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

I think you are underestimating the intelligence of the average user. I think anybody could work out why it was locked. As for having no reason, I already told you that I was relying on Revan to unlock the page after the time he saw fit and he did not do so for reasons unknown to me. Skittles the hog-- Talk 16:24, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

I'm still not sure how your not getting this. The reason was only/purely/just to assist Revan. Their was no other reason, I was just correcting the protection he had intended. At the time, I considered this to be a helpful act, but I would have reconsidered had I foreseen causing you such aggravation. Skittles the hog-- Talk 17:03, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

From the speculation (which is vandalism) that sprouted up on related pages, I'm certain that the River Song page would have been a vandalism target. I can't comprehend how you can not see this. Hold you opinion if you so wish, but do not force it upon me. Skittles the hog-- Talk 17:46, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

So your saying speculation isn't vandalism? As for your comment about abiding by wiki rules, you are taking what I said out of context. I was not talking about any wikia policies, I was talking about your suggestion that the article would not be vandalised. Utter rubbish. I don't mean to sound harsh, but your argument seems bent on making me voice an opinion I never had. I protected the page solely for what was supposed to be 24 hours, or whatever Revan deemed it to be. If you want a reason then have "high traffic". At no point was I suggesting I don't have to follow policy, I was stating that I do not have to comply to your opinion. Reading my post, this was exactly what I had written, so I'm not sure how you were confused.

I realise this has angered you (or whatever emotion you may be feeling), but I really had no intention to protect this article for so long. However, I do think that it was beneficial to do so at the time and Revan clearly agreed. So, just to clarify: I protected it for Revan. I assumed he would sort it out from there and he obviously didn't. My mistake. Skittles the hog-- Talk 18:33, June 9, 2011 (UTC)

I see. Perhaps another attempt into defining speculation is something the community could look into. I can recall many times when I have removed information or reverted edits based on speculation, but they usually breach the spoiler policy as well. Sorry for not leaving a reason for protection, I just left it on the default options. Wont happen again...or will it!?! Skittles the hog-- Talk 10:34, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

User page tabs


The purple highlighting in the picture is the padding of the .tabs-container. Because the .tabs-container is manually positioned 25px down, the padding overlays the links below it, and therefore they can't be clicked. My solution suggestion was to place the tabs "under" the links. Other solutions could be to simply remove the padding/positioning (i'm not sure why it was added in the first place), or to give the container of the links (#contentSub) a 25px top margin.

Featured articles
Hey, have you had any thoughts about a featured article symbol to place on pages that achieved featured status. Just as a thought to the future, it may allow us to build up a level of article quality. I'm not really knowledgeable on this, you may be unable to place such a thing on wikia, or any manner of technical aspect. Additionally, we may have to alter the requirements for an article as the current rules allow for any well written article. By symbol, I mean a wikipedia style emblem. Any thoughts? Skittles the hog-- Talk 18:33, June 14, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, you've hit the nail head on. We would definitely need guidelines on what makes a good article. I also think we should ditch the category, we already have Tardis:Feature Article nominations/Feature Article archive. Skittles the hog-- Talk 07:28, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

That's good. Though, I will have to admit now that I haven't noticed, I tend to just ignore all the Wikia ads and stuff, and I have the text largish to fill more of my browser window.

So when scrolling around I don't often hit the bottom of the page, and when editing I usually just go TAB to the summary and then click preview/publish/return. But I have just hit random wiki to get some pages up and saw it, it's all looking good. Also, nice work with the Signatures page/policy.

There was one other thing I wanted to ask you, I'm sure you know from creating the Tardistestwiki what a bureaucrat is (see here for more info if not). I think it'd be a benefit of the wiki to have you as another bureaucrat on the wiki as I think, with future admin requests it probably shouldn't just be me deciding who gets to be an admin (as it was the with the last big intake). But there's also granting rollback rights and all of those things related to it. I think you're a good admin and know the policies that govern the wiki well and are able to explain stuff. Feel free to say no, I'm not about to force extra responsibilities onto you! --Tangerineduel / talk 13:52, July 13, 2011 (UTC)

Miracle Day
Yeah, kinda guessed already. Miracle Day hasn't aired over here yet, but I'm sure that the Americanised credits would need a lot of work to fit the Wales crew, given that it's an international co-production. Don't worry, I won't do anything troublesome on that season. Tybort 00:47, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, okay, just no Miracle Day. Anyway, I already started on some suggestions (as 94.2.154.27) on the Wales crew template talk page.
 * As I don't have any DVDs to speak of, it's a fairly slow iPlayery process to go through but it's getting there. Tybort 01:07, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
