Infoboxes and novelisations
Hi, since you were the one that closed the novelisation thread I thought I'd ask you. Now that novelisations and TV stories have been given equal weight would, for example PROSE: Doctor Who and the Mutants need to appear in the infobox of Ky or would it just be understood that unless mentioned a character appeared in the novelisation as well? Thanks. --Borisashton ☎  21:25, April 16, 2018 (UTC)

Pearl Mackie meta description
The TARDIS Data Core page about Pearl Mackie was vandalised for about five minutes back in February and, somehow, the vandalised version of the page is now stuck in the page's meta description. For reference, google "pearl mackie" yourself, look at the page's source code, or see these screencaps of when I did both of those things myself. If this is something I could edit myself, I don't see where. In the meantime, this is a bad look for a wiki as big as this one. --AeD ☎  19:08, May 8, 2018 (UTC)
 * If I'm asking the wrong person, I'd appreciate at least being pointed in the direction of the right person. --AeD ☎  23:18, May 10, 2018 (UTC)

Category page numbers
Hi again. I noticed that recently categories with multiple pages now have the option to go to the "previous 200" or "next 200" instead of links to the different pages e.g. 1, 2, 3. As I am currently working on the project of image categorisation it is incredibly annoying to click on an image and then go back to page 1 especially with mega categories like Screenshots. Am I doing something wrong and is there a way to reverse it? Thanks. --Borisashton ☎  17:26, May 18, 2018 (UTC)

Infobox Story
Hi. I recently filled the "reprint" variable in the infobox of The Lost Dimension and noticed that the variable doesn't automatically remove the dab term, nor does it italicises the title of the graphic novel. Is this how it's meant to be, or is it a part of the code that needs upgrading? OncomingStorm12th ☎  21:22, May 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Oooh, my mistake ;) thanks for the info on the traded/reprinted stuff. I've now moved the graphic novels of The Lost Dimension to the appropriate variable. As for Titan reprinting IDW stuff, it did happen: a few Tenth and Eleventh Doctor comics, under the The Tenth Doctor Archives and The Eleventh Doctor Archives banners.

Article Headlines
Hi, I'm sorry about the headline issue. Being autistic, I happen to have an automatic need for overarching consistency across these forms of platforms. I'll stop and or correct my errors if this is what you wish, but I've half a mind to give up on what I'm doing on this wiki as it seems I can cause nothing but errors and I'm getting incredibly sick of doing things wrong while I'm trying to make improvements. This is not a slight on the wiki's admin in any way; you guys are just doing your job. I'm just an insecure contributer with good intentions but ideas clearly above his station. BelcherMorganJames ☎  15:37, June 26, 2018 (UTC)

That you for being understanding about it. I'm just really passionate about this community and I love to do my best to contribute. And I'm going back over and correcting my mistakes now, changing them back to how I found them before. Thank you for your time. BelcherMorganJames ☎  17:07, June 26, 2018 (UTC)

Series 11 info
Alright, but I thought spoilers shouldn't be added on the talk pages either... --DCLM ☎  17:16, June 30, 2018 (UTC)
 * Got it. --DCLM ☎  17:45, June 30, 2018 (UTC)

Spoiler-y files
Hi. Just to be sure about the recent changes in Tardis:Spoiler policy: it's now okay to add images and videos (of course, videos uploaded by admins) into series pages? So, for example, a cover added on Series 4 (BFTW) (which isn't finished yet would be okay?). Also, would it be okay to add a frame of the 2018 version of the Doctor Who logo to Series 11 (Doctor Who) (the one now used on merchandise)?

Just asking to be sure, before starting to upload such images. OncomingStorm12th ☎  23:13, July 19, 2018 (UTC)
 * Ooh, nice to know. I'll upload some relevant covers than. Thanks. OncomingStorm12th ☎  02:40, July 20, 2018 (UTC)

Other Vore
do you play Roblox?

RE: Vortex manipulator

 * Ooh, I wasn't aware of the thing. I'll make sure to only add it back once there's a page for them. :) OncomingStorm12th  ☎  01:30, July 22, 2018 (UTC)

Parentheses in titles
For some reason I had the false impression that the pipe trick didn't work for pages like The! Could you rename A Bloody And Public Domaine (short story) to A Bloody (And Public) Domaine (short story)? – N8 ☎ 00:58, July 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Is this a case of T:NAMING being outdated then? Also, is multiple colons and hyphens ok for titles as well? OncomingStorm12th ☎  15:17, July 23, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation! – N8 ☎ 15:32, July 23, 2018 (UTC)
 * Ooh, I see. Thanks for the clarification. OncomingStorm12th ☎  23:26, July 23, 2018 (UTC)

No not Series 11 news. I've added it to "The Howling" for you to decide what to do with it. :) --DCLM ☎  14:02, July 23, 2018 (UTC)

FANDOM's Conditions of use infraction
Hello CzechOut,

I am from One Piece Encyclopédie (One Piece’s french Wiki). Some users and I share doubts regarding Mihawk Moha’s integrity, and significance he gives to his role as a Bureaucrat. For these reasons, we decided to investigate and check his activities. We noticed that you moderated this topic http://fr.onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Fil:412441#364, for the following motive: Author’s rights (peoples posted links of One Piece’s translation). Mihawk Moha actually admited it (http://fr.onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Fil:413724#191). Whereafter, the staff had removed the link, as the Bureaucrat told you; but only in the first message of every new topic.

Most of users didn't know about the rule, nobody told them afterwards (even if it is, indeed, pretty obvious). Moreover, Mihawk Moha and others kept publishing those kinds of links, every week. Here are some evidences: There’s more if you need, but I guess it’d be useless (anyway, you can ask for more).

In other words, your instructions weren’t respected, this is why we inform you. We hope you can clarify this issue with OPE.

Thank you for your time!

Species article names
I know that there've probably been discussions about this and I'm guessing there's a good reason for it; this is just to satiate my curiosity. I was just wondering why articles pertaining to species like the Daleks and Cybermen are titled after a singular member of the race rather than the collective race, such as naming the Cybermen's page 'Cyberman' as opposed to 'Cybermen' or the Daleks' page 'Dalek' instead of 'Daleks'. I'm sure the admin have their reasons; it's just one of my little queries for clarity. Thank you. :-) BelcherMorganJames ☎  22:33, September 1, 2018 (UTC)

Having trouble creating pages
I can't seem to create pages using the custom preload feature anymore. I was told to contact you since you're an expert on technical difficulties. I'm using Safari and macOS High Sierra.MystExplorer ☎  18:34, September 4, 2018 (UTC)


 * I am having the same problem but with the standard preloads i.e character. Been having the problem since saturday. using FireFox 61.0.2 MacOS High Sierra. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 18:51, September 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll check again in a couple of days to let you finish what you were doing then Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 05:38, September 5, 2018 (UTC)
 * what I meant was that choosing the standard preload wouldn't the load it in the editor. It's now working Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 21:04, September 5, 2018 (UTC)

Request
Hello, could you please add the comic/episode infoboxes from here, also on the doctor who fanon wiki, please?

RE: Leads of TV stories
Hey there! Yeah, it's all good. Saw what you said and, realising pretty every article I have read follows that structure, I figured I should go about fixing it. I'll be sure to check out the ideal introduction article you linked to so I can go back later on and, where needed, improve the articles in detail. As a faithful editor, I shall now continue my endeavor to get it done.

Thank you for pointing the issue out for me. Snivy   ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   13:04, October 8, 2018 (UTC)

Promoting DWA on TDC
Hey CzechOut!

I see the thread I created last week promoting DWA on the UNIT board got deleted. I know that in the past we've had permission to do so on the understanding that it's up to the discretion of the admins here (1 2). Is there any way we can promote DWA on TDC that we can get you guys' approval for? I've been trying to make DWA more user friendly (renewed de-blue-ed design, Read Next section, maintenance buttons) plus the new series airing now makes me want to try and bring more people in now and build a bigger community.

As a side note, I like the direction of your new design here! It's so much easier to see what's a link now. And nice decision on the gold highlights ;)

Thanks for all your help! 07:03, October 12, 2018 (UTC)

Bradley Walsh
The link for Bradley Walsh on the main page is misspelled and links to Bradley Waslh. Just a heads up. --Borisashton ☎  16:29, October 12, 2018 (UTC)

Derrick Sherwin
Hi CzechOut.

Have chosen you at random - you lucky person! - to mention that I've amended the entry for Derrick Sherwin to include his exact date of death (17th) as given by his daughter. I couldn't find anywhere to include that as a note, though, nor did I know how to add her FB post's URL as a reference, sorry. If it's of any help, it's https://www.facebook.com/keith.barnfather/posts/1939000112846616?comment_id=1939324499480844&reply_comment_id=1939867069426587&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%2349%22%7D Thanks.

Patient page
Hey Czech!

I was trying to create the "patient" page to include references to the various patients in stories like The Empty Child, The Doctor Dances, New Earth, Smith and Jones (and several more) but I found you have locked the ability to create the page. Any chance you could enable me to make and subsequently expand the page rather than it forever remain a dead link?

Thanks! :D Snivy   ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦   19:45, November 7, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Regenerating the Site
I know that the plan was to open up that announcement for discussion after the ghost monument aired. It's been several weeks since and there are issues with the site bordering on unusable.

Any chance of it being opened up so they can be addressed?

Captain Jack's thumbnail
Hi! Not sure if you're aware but I'm now getting the image of the young Jack as the representative image if I go on categories. I know you adjusted the infobox image last year specifically to beat this image so I thought I'd let you know. --Borisashton ☎  20:54, December 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Went to check a category or two, and similar stuff happens with Gwen Cooper, Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith. Pattern on these pages seems to be "ignoring" infobox image and going for the first file on the body of the article. OncomingStorm12th ☎  20:58, December 21, 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm really glad there's an easy way to fix it. Thanks for the response, and hope you're having a good festive times :) OncomingStorm12th ☎  01:42, December 24, 2018 (UTC)

Refusis redirect is helpful
The whole first episode of the Monoids has only talk of "Refusis" - not once is it "Refusis II", even though that is where the settlers land in the end. Killing the redirect is unnecessarily cumbersome for anyone who - like me now with #DoctorWhoOnTwitch - watches the Classics and checks the mentioned planet - which is Refusis, not Refusis II, in episode one. --IrasCignavojo ☎  11:03, January 8, 2019 (UTC)

Admin conduct
Hi,

Don't know where else to leave this, nor how to private message, so I'll just leave this here: I joined today with the intent of participating in thoughtful discussion in order to be able to provide meaningful edits to a wikia I've enjoyed for quite a while.

However, I was instantly met with some incredibly condescending attitude from your admin "Amorkuz", as can be seen in the "Pronoun Use for Time Lords" thread on The Panopticon boards. I fully accept that I was probably wrong about some things and did/do not fully comphrened the wikia policies and the general way things work here (and out of frustration I definetly crossed a line in one of my replies). But, the way this admin acts is no way to welcome new contributors nor guide them on their way into becoming productive members of the community. It doesn't help that in the thread he shows sever lack in reading comprehension, making his behaviour even more of an embarrassment.

Thanks to this toxic behaviour I will be leaving today, only several hours after joining in the first place. Just thought you should know how your fellow admins act, and what kind of message this sends to new people.

Kind regards,

--DW114 ☎  13:37, January 9, 2019 (UTC)

Birth/death dates
So, I've been wanting to cleanup birth/death dates for a while. Cleaning up pages like 1966 (people) and 11 February (people) (plus all other year/day pages is "easy" enough to do by hand, however long that might take. All I'd need to do is go to the crewmember page and see if there's a source or not. If there is, the information stays, if there isn't, the information goes).

In a perfect scenario, doing this to all (people) pages would mean the job was done, but the following scenario is probably true to some pages: the crewmember page has an unsourced date (like John Lucarotti once had) but that information is not present on any of the birth/death pages. Unsourced information like this would go "under my radar".

So, after all that, my question is: is there a way for User:CzechBot to "find" such pages? I was thinking in the lines of "if [page X] links to any page with the dab term (people) and has no tags on int, then "flag" it" (to "flag" it could be to save it in a list, or whatever). I'm not 100% sure how bots work, so I don't know exactly what could be done. Anyway, sorry for the long post. OncomingStorm12th ☎  18:25, January 12, 2019 (UTC)
