Tooth and Claw
So, before you moved Tooth and Claw to Tooth and Claw (TV story) — which was fine in itself — did you give any thought about what you would do with the couple of hundred links to Tooth and Claw? Have you verified they're all meant to link to the TV story? Were you taking care of the re-linking yourself? What's going on with it? I'm getting questions on my talk page about it, so I need to know whether you're taking care of it, or whether I should be gettin' the bot ready. 14:03:13 Sat 23 Jul 2011
 * Well, here's the thing. The moment one makes a name change to an article — especially one as heavily linked as a TV story page — it's no longer an academic discussion on a talk page.  The move requires additional action.  And we, as admin, have to make sure that a core page like this is re-linked properly.  We can't just leave it to others to take care of, because it's part of the basic "spine" of the wiki.  And what's happened here is that Tybort has "taken care of it" — by just asking me to make the changes.  And I don't mind doing it.  But I would like to do it on my own schedule, rather than having to stop what I was doing and do it now. So in future it would be great if either you personally take responsibility for the re-linking consequent to a big name change like this; or you say, "You know, that's gonna require a bot to do it efficiently. Please put your request at user talk:CzechOut."  That way I can have some control over the timing and the way that it's done.  For instance, I would never have acquiesced to Tybort, no matter the validity of the request, before I knew that every single link to Tooth and Claw was meant to go to the TV story.  Once you establish that, the bot changeover is a snap.  14:42:47 Sat 23 Jul 2011

Typos on Doctor Who Series 7
You're probably dealing with them as I speak, but here goes. On the (naturally locked) Series 7 (Doctor Who) page you've been working on, you've got "annoounced the new of the new series" instead of "announced the news of the new series". -- Tybort (talk page) 22:21, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Potential Edit War in A Good Man Goes to War
User:Bold Clone is reverting good faith edits made by me to A Good Man Goes to War, and is claiming they are unneeded but is not citing anything else. How should we resolve? Primarily, behind the scenes information of the episode. TIA Cowbert 03:32, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Creating template talk pages
Why? I had this conversation with another user. Why? It makes it look like there's a discussion already happening when clearly there isn't. I know we had a discussion in the forums about talk pages already having the talk template on them, but I don't think we agreed about creating a talk page for ever single page, especially as there's nothing to talk about on many pages. I also seem to recall we didn't come down on a plan of action specifically for all sorts of article pages. I also really think it gives a false sense of something being discussed, especially on those templates which provide a link to the talk pages, which obviously appears red when there's no talk page, and therefore nothing to be discussed. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:07, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't agree with the rationale using the wanted pages as a reason for creating stuff that shouldn't be created. It was basically the same rationale used in the Timeline discussion.
 * Creating pages before they're needed as a means of controlling random questions / vandalism is an extremely weird way of going about it.
 * I really think the benefits of not having the talk pages existing and therefore allowing people to start talk pages as they're needed is a far better way of doing things. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:24, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Or if we're going to make policy of creating talk pages for your reasons we need to work out a policy for it – in the forums where we can work out if we're going to tag every template page with a separate talk page tag or the same talk page tag or other things like that. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:27, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Please take care in restoring timeline pages
I've noticed in the past few days that you've restored a number of year pages that ought to have remained deleted. There are a number of year pages — 1509 being as good an example as any — where someone created the page without any good DWU facts. 1509, for instance, was created on the basis that The Sensorites mentions Henry VIII. The creating editor then said, well, if Henry VIII has been mentioned then it's safe to mention 1509, since that was the (real world) date he assumed the throne. But The Sensorites doesn't establish 1590 at all. Unfortunately there are very many pages in category:timeline which have been created with this sort of faulty logic. Please actually read the last deleted revision before you decide to resurrect, and determine whether the page really should be restored. Many timeline pages were prop deleted by me prior to my becoming an admin, and the prop deletion was based on actual research. If the final revision prior to deletion has a delete tag in it, please do not resurrect it. 12:57:21 Mon 08 Aug 2011

My edit to Series 6 (Doctor Who)
Why did you undo my edit. It was sourced. So why was it removed? BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 17:17, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * You never gave a reason. It was just: Reverted edits by BroadcastCorp (talk | block) to last version by Mini-mitch. Are you sorry? BroadcastCorp (talk | contribs) 17:46, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

User image policy
Hey, as you're the one who's been most involved in enforcing this policy over the last six months, I'd appreciate your feedback on the rewrite at project:user image policy. Thanks. 21:25:01 Sat 20 Aug 2011
 * Thanks for your proofread.


 * The fact that a picture is unusued has never been a reason written into any policy as a cause, in itself, to delete a picture. The difficulty with setting such a policy is that there's no one reason that a picture becomes unused.  Sometimes, it's because it's just a bad picture, or someone feels that they have a better one.  Other times, it just gets temporarily displaced and the editor who did that forgot to replace it.  In such cases, the editor isn't saying they won't use it in the future, or that it's a bad picture.


 * In still other cases, pictures are uploaded with every intent to use them in the future, but maybe they get sidetracked. I myself often do this latter, as I'll upload a picture of a behind-the-scenes personality long before I've written the article for him.  The pic of John Bennett (assistant director), for instance, was uploaded almost a year prior to the article being written.


 * I think this third case applies especially to user pages. People trying to decorate their user page don't necessarily move at a fast pace.  Why would they?  I've certainly noticed that sometimes people upload personal pics and wait weeks before deploying them.


 * As long as they're not over the "rule of 3" or the size limits, I don't think we should auto-delete them. After all, if they've followed the other rules, we're only talking about a maximum of 500kb of "unused" space. That's hardly gonna break us.  20:07:06 Sun 21 Aug 2011

Gallery images and licensing
Thanks for keeping me informed. As I said to CzechOut it was in part driving me to frustration, so I've stayed away from that element for a while, lest it drive me to do something irrational. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:20, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Comic category move
Your requested moves are well under way. Please check tomorrow (Friday) to ensure that all categories you originally listed have been deleted. If you need any further work done on these cats by the time of the US airing of the latest ep of Torchwood, please let me know. 17:51:04 Thu 25 Aug 2011
 * Okay, I finished up the move about an hour ago, and now I'm seeing all redlinks on my user talk page. So I'm guessing things are satisfactoily completed. One thing I noticed that was a bit troubing was that there were some stories in the parent cat — that is, within X Doctor comic stories.  I fixed the ones in cateogry:Eighth Doctor comic stories and category:Seventh Doctor comic stories, by correctly placing them in either the IHP, DWM or RT categories.  But we're still left with The Forgotten, which should be categorised as being in a First, Second . . . Tenth Doctor IDW comic stories.  So if you want to handle the manual task of making an IDW category for all the Doctors that don't have it yet, then changing the cats on The Forgotten to reflect those new cats, we'll be golden.  Also, if you'd just take a peek in all those X Doctor comic stories cats to make sure there are no other uncategorised stories, that'd be great.  In this regard, I noticed there was a reluctance to put stories in either the DWMS or Doctor Who Yearbooks in the X Doctor DWM comic stories category, so you may find a few of those Marvel-UK-but-not-DWM-proper stories out there.  All these should just go into DWM stories, I think, cause none of them would've happened had it not been for DWM.

I haven't vetted the categories for genuine annual comic stories either. It may be that we needed to have a cat for X Doctor comic stories in annuals, if it's not already created. We have to go with awkward language for that right now because we're still doing this ridiculous thing of having DWAN be the official prefix for annuals. We really need something better on that front. But we can categorise the annual stories now and worry about better naming later, if there aren't already annual comic stories categories. 21:02:54 Thu 25 Aug 2011

Silent
Hi. Sorry about that. I'm still kind of new to some of these things. I guess I shouldn't have immeditately edited the page. I suggest the page is split, as there's an obvious difference between a religion and a species, and such, both should not be detailed on the same page. The religious order should be kept on the Silence, while the as-of-yet unnamed species should go somewhere else. Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Incarnations of the Doctor
Recently I made a number of edits to the individual Doctors pages, namely adding them to categories. These were then reverted without explanation by skittlesthehog. I have asked him why these were undone, but he has not replied. I have noticed you have also undone one such edit, and was wondering if you could explain to me why it has been undone? All my edits are done in good faith, but admittedly I am not as familiar with Tardis policy and the manual of style as admins are. I just want to know why these edits have been undone so that I can avoid making similar mistakes in the future - all I want is to improve the wiki. I would be grateful if you could get back to me about this. Aliyoda 10:45, September 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for explaining that, that's been very helpful. :) Aliyoda 11:30, September 7, 2011 (UTC)

File:Favicon.ico - restoration
Hi, I just restored, which you deleted a few days ago. This file, while nothing links but it's one of those images that's used all of the time on the wiki. It's the file that makes the little Police Box logo appear at the end of the URL. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:05, September 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to add a note here, please remember that the presence of a file on Special:UnusedFiles alone is not sufficient cause to delete it. That page is generating a list based upon the condition of a specific "flag" in a file.  It's not actually telling you, despite the name, whether that file is actually used or not. There are hundreds of images where the "linked on page" flag is set to null, but the file is actually used quite a bit.  The single most ubiquitous image on the whole wikie, file:wiki-background, isn't linked to anything.  None of the achievement badges are linked to anything.  None of the top-of-page template images are linked to anything.  Any image which is used through CSS or JS will not show up as "linked" to anything, despite being in abundant use.   Please stop using Special:UnusedFiles as the sole basis for deciding to delete an image. 12:59:57 Thu 08 Sep 2011

Aliases
There's a discussion on the Panopticon at Forum:Notable Aliases, where it seems like there's a pretty solid consensus from removing one-time epithets and everything else but actual notable aliases from the character infoboxes.

Boblipton suggested I just go clean them all up, but I thought it would be better to just try two of them as an experiment. So, I edited Jack Harkness and Harold Saxon, as we'd agreed on the forum. I made sure to put a clear edit summary that refered to both the Panopticon thread and the talk page, and a detailed explanation on the Talk page.

You reverted both edits, with no edit summary, no discussion on the Talk page, and no comment on the forum thread. I'm assuming this is just because you were busy and haven't read the thread yet. But if you believe that aliases like "Big Fella" for Harold Saxon and "Captain Beefcake" for Jack really belong in the infobox, I think it's worth explaining why on the forum thread, because at this point, that viewpoint is completely lacking and needs someone to speak up for it. --173.228.85.35 05:35, September 8, 2011 (UTC)

Untagged images
I've begun the process of bot-thinning Special:UncategorizedFiles. All the badges are now licensed, as are some of the recent Character Options uploads. That list, though, is cached so changes won't be reflected for several hours, or days. 12:59:57 Thu 08 Sep 2011
 * Well, after editing it off an on throughout the morning and early afternoon, I think I've got a substantial number of the images licensed now. But, because the cache won't clear away the photos that have been categorised, I'm kinda "lost" in what needs to be done.  I'll come back to this issue over the weekend to figure out what remains.  If you want to help, though, the images that definitely haven't been done by the bot are those which are individualistic.  That is, the random screenshots and the occasional publicity pictures.  Most of the ones that are part of a series, like VHS covers, CO figures, badges, CD covers — they've all been done and will be removed from the page at the next cache sweep.  00:54:50 Fri 09 Sep 2011
 * The licensing of all images in Special:UncategorizedFiles has been completed. To the extent that there are images left there, they are most likely simply waiting for a cache update to whisk them off the page.  By no later than Wednesday the caching will have cleared away any remaining stragglers.


 * I have taken some time to manually (well, semi-automatically, let's say) affix the proper licenses to a great many of the pictures that used to be there. From Wednesday forward, all pictures discovered in UncatFiles will be subject to completely automatic deletion.  A number of warnings have been placed on the wiki to this effect.  You may direct users to Help:Files should they come to you with the question, "What happened to my file?"


 * I plan to implement an automatic run more or less when I feel like, but on a weekly basis when any of our shows are in season; at least monthly when not.


 * user:Doctor Who 63, far and away the biggest offender, has now been put on what I would call a "final warning". If he uploads even a single new picture without a license, there are certainly adequate grounds to block him.  I would suggest a block of no more than a week at first, just to let him or her that we are completely serious about needing image licenses.  His latest offense comes from 4 September, well and truly after two or three warnings from TD. If he had ever acknowledged TD in the past, to let us know that he was having problems understanding what to do, the case would probably be different.  As he's been asked several times, and yet continues to do break the rule.  Yes, his behavior is being aided by the "add a photo to this gallery" bug, but since he/she won't respond we're left with only the option of taking some overt action.  Again, you'll be looking for any uploads after 11 Sept without a license.  Thanks.  23:01:32 Sun 11 Sep 2011

Categories
Yes, sorry about that, I realised that a few minutes after I'd made the changes! On a similar note, I tried starting a forum about the creation of a new category for stories set in space, but it doesn't seem to have published for some reason. Do you have any idea what the problem is? Or if this category has been discussed before? Aliyoda 16:42, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Castrovalva
Hey, I just wanted to point out that the image below is, by its very nature, "blurry/fuzzy" and so should not be deleted. I say this because you have previously done so, but it has been restored.

Also, you had deleted a key image without replacing it. This left Castrovalva with no image in its infobox. You're going a great job deleting those image, but please check if they're in use first. Thanks-- 20:47, September 11, 2011 (UTC)

Achievements now "the Game of Rassilon"
Please note that "Achievements" has now been totally rebranded the "Game of Rassilon" on this site.

Aliases of the Doctor
Why did you revert Icecreamdif's edit, without edit summary, comment on the Talk page, or comment on the Panopticon thread?

This is the same thing you did last week with my changes to the Captain Jack and Harry Saxon infoboxes, and you never replied when I asked about those, so maybe it's pointless to ask again, but it still seems like it's worth trying. Are you not aware of the discussion at Forum:Notable Aliases? Do you disagree with it? Did Icecreamdif and I not do a good enough job pointing our edits to that discussion? What can we do to get everyone on the same page here? --70.36.140.19 19:08, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Mini-mitch - Unilaterally revoking these edits which are completely in-line with forum consensus, and marking the edits as "minor" to boot, is uncool. If you have further concerns with the edit, please take them to the discussion before reverting again. &mdash; Rob T Firefly - Δ∇ - 21:51, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that you've reverted pretty much every attempt that I and others have made to remove the outlandish aliases that have popped up on most new series character's pages. There is a discussion at forum: Notable Aliases, and I discussed my reasons for removing those names in both the talk page and my edit summary. The conscensus at the forum page is basically that nobody would seriously consider silly joke names like "Mr. Grumpy Face" to be alternative names for the Doctor, and other names like "the man of peace" are really more of descriptions for him than alternative names. If you disagree with this, then why don't you explain why on the forum page instead of just reverting all of our edits. Icecreamdif 23:06, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Breaking Tardis:Editing policy and edit-warring, dismissing others' work without explanation, and ignoring community discussions you disagree with (rather than joining in and stating your reasons) are not what I'd consider the best examples of admin behaviour. &mdash; Rob T Firefly - Δ∇ - 20:25, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

I wish to add my voice to the chorus of those asking for changes to the liases of the doctor aticle by at least explaining the critera you are using to revert the changes. I good place to do so is in the thread over in the Panopticon. Boblipton 01:25, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Move protection on stories
Hey, please don't forget that we have a standing forum decision to infinitely block all TV stories pages (and really, by extension, all story pages) from beind moved. So when you unprotect story pages for general editing, please remember to put back on infinite move protection. Thanks :) 22:00: Sat 17 Sep 2011

Notable Aliases
Hey, there's been a significant amount of discussion at the Forum:Notable Aliases discussion concerning the aliases issue. It's about 8 or 9 editors who have been discussing this issue, not the 2-3 you alluded to in the edit summary of Aliases of the Doctor. Check out the discussion in the forums as it's been pretty thorough trying to work out how we define what the alias field displays as and to work out how to better edit (and edit down) information like the aliases for the Doctor into a better cohesive article. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:34, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

I Demand an Apology
I am not a liar. I made no statement that I wrote anything about the issue on the Talk page. I stated that the discussion on the talk page is not ongoing and that the points I made in my earler edit summary ("It is a fact that he wears the fez in A Christmas Carol, so it is certain this story takes place before because he explicitly states he has only just been re-united with it. Also, this wiki's Timeline sections are full of "best guesses", especially for the untelevised stories") are definitive and discussion is unnecessary. Calling me a liar is an extraordinary act of rudeness and bad faith and I demand an apology. -- Noneofyourbusiness talk to me 15:53, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Furthermore, I have no idea why, but I am currently finding it impossible to edit the talk page for that article, and only that page. Hopefully the issue will clear up or not be present on my home computer, and then I will add an item for discussion as a formality. -- Noneofyourbusiness talk to me 16:01, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Timeline
I did not say I had left an input on the talk page, and you did not ask that in those words. You asked me to let the discussion on the talk page come to an end. No had replied to that discussion in three days, so I accurately stated that it had (come to an end). This is a textbook miscommunication.

My source is the episode itself. My argument, which you somewhat misstate on my talk page, is that he has, by his own explicit words, only just gotten his fez back for the first time after its destruction. He wears the fez in A Christmas Carol, so the episode takes place before then. This is straightforward logic. I found this controversy odd in light of the many, many articles on this wiki that guess the timeline when working in the untelevised stories to continuity. In this case, for the reasons I've stated, it's not a guess. (also, please see my note above about being unable to edit - weird) -- Noneofyourbusiness talk to me 16:09, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Timeline Sections
I am removing unsourced supposition that was not added based on talk page discussions. This is normal editor behavior. We are supposed to Be Bold and not need to discuss things this straightforward beforehand. I am not changing a policy. I am removing guesswork, and putting something on a talk page will only lead to confirmation that it is guesswork. Or no reply. -- Noneofyourbusiness talk to me 13:36, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, forums. It's still supposition in violation of the policy cited by Rob T. Firefly on Talk:Death Is the Only Answer. These comic strips, short stories, et al could take place at any point when the Doctor and companion depicted in them were active, much like Death Is the Only Answer could according to Mr. Firefly. -- Noneofyourbusiness talk to me 13:43, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Gallery stuff
Hey, since you did the legwork on the gallery issue, could you take a look at T:GAL and give me your thoughts on the wording? Also, you should now find that every "add a photo to this gallery" button is gone from the wiki, and done in a way that can't possibly violate Wikia's Terms of Use. 19:19: Mon 24 Oct 2011

Conjecture tags
As per the Conjecture template, it is to be used when "whose subjects' names do not actually appear within a canonical source". There is no in-universe source stating that the peg dolls are called "Peg Dolls", so please leave the conjecture tag there. The Doctor Who website is not in-universe. Tardis1963 05:04, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

Expanded navigation
Yeah, I've tried this feature, too — and immediately disabled it. Coupla points have me slightly worried. In the first place, it's going to require a LOT of CSS styling on my part, and I'm simply too busy to do it at the moment. Wikia already have me pulling my hair out over AdminDashboard and the new editor. Secondly, I've read a lot of reports on it from other sites and am not convinced that it's actually a better solution than what we presently have. I personally hate the combination of vertical and horizontal mouse movements necessary to select something. Thirdly, I don't like where it is. That's actually a useful area for design that I'd rather use for our own purposes. You can put a strip of background there that'd add something to the wiki's overall design. If it becomes required to use this navigation, obviously I'll have to deal with it, but I'd rather be doing other things with my time than trying to skin it for our wiki. 15:08: Wed 26 Oct 2011

Chat is still in beta, and they seem to tinker with the code on an almost daily basis. Weird things happen.

Image rules cheat card
I'm noticing more and more instances of people uploading pictures which are, according to agreed practises, flawed in some way. I'm thinking that part of the reason might be that we haven't put it all together on one page, so I've created T:ICC, or Help:Image cheat card. It's kind of in the vein of the Help:Spelling cheat card — just a quick run-through of the big points about image usage. Let me know if you think it could be improved. 05:39: Fri 11 Nov 2011

Wow. Good call for removing the infobox image on The Gunpowder Plot. Can't believe I didn't think that myself. -- Tybort (talk page) 19:07, November 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd guess that this would apply to covers and such on non-Adventure Game video game pages, too? -- Tybort (talk page) 19:14, November 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I knew the bit about audio and book covers, but just wanted to be careful is all. -- Tybort (talk page) 15:38, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Critical Reception
Mini-Mitch - First of all I feel I should point out that I am very new to Wikia editing and would appreciate it if any issues with my edits that are due to a lack of wiki knowledge could be posted to my talk page with advice on how to improve (I will then be able to refer to my talk for help on editing skills i am lacking).

My First concern/Question is: Why have you simply removed my "critical reception" section from the Series 6 pageas opposed to ammending or editing it? There are valid and proven points raised here and removal of the whole section suggests otherwise - If it was prudent to discuss rather than edit first then I apologise here and would ask where do I discuss this?

My second concern is : What is wrong with my critical reception section that I can change for the next edit upload? I acknowledge the negative slant on the series review but this will happen when a series is poorly recieved by some or all of the fans and I feel that negative reviews are as important to this wikia as positive one so the people involved (writers, actors, head writers) can improve their performance and to avoid potental destruction of the Dr.who cannon or reputation.

Thought id post this again here in case others are curoius:

From Mini-mitch - The Doctor 69: I had to remove the critical reception section becuase it had just been copied and pasted from another place - wikipedia by the looks of it. The references were all in wikipedia layout and also they were broken - meaning that if someone wanted to look up the reference for what you had cited in the section, they would be unabled to do so. All our references should be - by doing it this way it will allow people to easily follow up on any reference you place in the article.

Also, there is a another, although minor reason, we don't actually have a critical recepition section on any other page - as it can lead to people adding in their own opinions - which are not allowed on this wiki. If you look through the other series pages (e.g. Series 2 (Doctor Who), Series 4 (Torchwood), Series 5 (Doctor Who), Series 5(SJA)) we don't have a critical reception page on those pages either.

Many thanks for an unbiased and very professional reason for removing my edit. I can see your reasoning very clearly here and agree. You were correct that the article was copied and pasted - I assumed there is always a bit of overlap between these two wikia's but certainly I apologise for my lazyness here.

I am working on making this edit as free of apparent personal opinion as possible but I am keen that the fans remain aware of the issues with moffat and co's writing and that series 5 and 6 have gotten the worst overal fan reviews since the restart in 2005 (if we point it out they might not mess up season 7 so much - right?!? is there a page on here where such an edit would be more suitable?

Mini-mitch - just a follow up here but if i'm reading an episode synopsis and disagree with an interpretation of what happened or indeed fell I have a better one. Post in the talk before editing or try the edit first?

edit track?!?
what catagory did you make the new track to? (I noticed you put some pictures into the 50 points badge thingamagigy.) Metardis talk to me 19:14, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Mitch, please read tardis:stub. Refs and continuity sections are specifically not required. 23:56: Sat 17 Dec 2011

Sorry
I admit, I became a little too wrapped up in the game. Since there were a few new edit tracks added, I guess I got a little overzealous. Thanks for the warning. Memnarc talk to me 00:26, December 20, 2011 (UTC) 20:08: Tue 20 Dec 2011
