Page swapping
Looks like User:Cyruptsaram hit a snag while attempting to disambiguate people called Rob. The "vanilla" Rob should be on Rob (The Chromosome Connection), while Rob (Disambiguation) should be the "normal" location of Rob with all the links changed. Maybe you could explain to him about how you do that sort of thing. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:27, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I saw how you changed From Avalon to Argolis and tried to do the same with my next edit. I'm still trying to get the hang of categories, there are just so many. Sorry for the trouble! Shambala108 ☎  03:34, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hi CzechOut, still havent sorted out message alerts from you - good job I czech daily  Anyway been working back on some old issues so not much new added at the mo BUT...you'll be pleased to know Im being attentive to image sizes - still got a problem with some comic captures where I only have one decent bubbled pic to choose from but hey, I'm trying. On the date matter - well that makes more sense. Thats how (in my very early days) I started doing them but someone went behind me and split it all up into parts hmmmmm so thats why its been done as it is - sorry was.

Edit box issue
Have you run into this problem? It's something that's been plaguing me for a while, but didn't really get in the way of me editing. Basically I can't click the text anywhere around the custom preload pagename box. Scrolling beyond it works and on really short articles I just push the text down to edit it and then bring it back up once I've finished. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 04:39, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

I'm back! 09:43, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

changing publication to anthology
All I'm doing is deleting the word "publication" in the infobox and replacing it with "anthology", that's the only pattern. I think I've done the first twenty or so Short Trips anthologies, but it's a pretty tedious job so if it can be done by the bot I could do something more fun.

Before I started this, I searched several places looking for a reference to put in the edit summary, but couldn't find any; I should have asked you in the first place. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  03:34, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was doing them in anthology order, story order, and left off at For the Man Who Has Everything (short story), which is followed by Tell Me You Love Me (short story) and The Cutty Wren (short story).

Hi CzechOut, RE: the message alerts lol - luv the bat-signal analogy btw. I've got that part! :)

I'm getting the wiki alerts and invites, I'm getting the Game of Rassilon scores, I'm getting ALL that. What I'm NOT getting is alerts to messages left on my talk page - in a bat-signal style blue balloon, or as a notification in the top line of the screen (like appeared in the wiki test you did on muppetwiki) ...but its workable I check more regularly now when I log in and intermitantly.

Video and novelisations queries
Hi ...on a different topic entirely... as well as being busy rescanning some cover pics for a mammoth day uploading (often smaller but also some larger scans), at <100kb, I was wondering ... which is better galleries or tables? The reason is, I'm looking too add more to the 'Home video and audio releases' section of story pages, which would incidently include the DWDVDF releases. IF tables were preferred would there be a problem with a gradual change over?


 * ok showing stupidity again!! Just been exploring the side tabs! Doah! but can you direct me to how to create a related image page. Thanks. The Librarian ☎  01:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

AND ... I seem to have missed the discussion to remove novelisation details/links from story listing pages :( ...even though script books have been retained -even if they are a script not necessarily what was broadcast). Put a lot of work (and still not yet complete), into Target Books even if they are now BBC and was wondering...! The Librarian ☎  00:39, September 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * likewise just found the very discreet link at the top of the info box. Is it the plan to have a separate commercial releases page for each story that would encompass cassettes, VHS's, DVDs, audio soundtracks, recordings and readings?The Librarian ☎  01:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Change "DVD, video and audio releases" and "Home video and audio releases"
When you've got a spare moment, could you do a bot run on these two and change them to "Home media releases"?

I think with 55+ stories on iTunes and as you've noted on the forums how people view what "video" means, I think Media might be a better catch all term. --Tangerineduel / talk 06:44, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Redirect
The protected page for The Dalek Project should have a (comic story) on the end. It SAYS (comic story), but that's a quirk of TitleComic, it's not actually on that page. -- Tybort (talk page) 20:33, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Table headers unreadable
The table headers on Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories are white on near-white, which makes them well-nigh invisible & certainly unreadable. The exception is "Released". I assume this is a side effect of allowing sorting on the other columns. Whatever the cause, the colours need to be changed.

Note that the header background briefly shows as blue (sensible) when I first navigate to the page but is replaced by near-white within a second or less.

There may be other tables elsewhere afflicted by the same problem. I've not tried to look for any, so I don't know. --89.240.248.92talk to me 02:23, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding.

T:SPELL and files
Do we really need to maintain redirects for files? Files aren't usually things that are searched for, nor are they usually mis-typed the same way that articles are.

T:SPELL & Sky Smith
I noticed an edit to the article Sky Smith by User:CzechBot at 16:04, September 29, 2012, commented "Enforcing T:SPELL". That edit changed "enrolled" to "enroled" -- that is, it changed the correct British spelling to an incorrect spelling, which appears to be the opposite of what it set out to do.

I've not looked for any other instances where this has happened but, since the username suggests an automated process, there may well be others.

Please note: My IP address changes frequently, so there's no point leaving a response on my User talk page -- it won't be mine for more than an hour or two. --78.146.184.166talk to me 21:55, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Any chance you could actually create a user account? It'd be very helpful to actually carry on a conversation with you.  I'm not sure where to respond to you, so I guess I'll just go here, but I really don't like carrying on conversations entirely on my user page.


 * The bot process is not completely automated, but, yeah, this was a bit of a mistake. Enroll is one of those tricky things that's spelled differently on both sides of the Atlantic, except in participles. So enrol, enrols, enrolment, but not enroled, or enroling'. I went a little broad with the programming, but thanks to your pointing out the error, the programming has been tightened up. I don't think there are too many other flat out errors with the bot, but if they exist, they're going to be in this sort of -ll madness.   00:29: Tue 02 Oct 2012
 * That's correct, it should be enrolled. Confirmed by the Oxford English Dictionary. http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/enrol (Note: your reply wasn't there when I originally typed that, I was hit by an edit conflict) I reverted the bot's edit.
 * This is one of the few cases where I'd say that reverting an error may be unhelpful. When you revert SpellBot errors, you make it harder for me to teach the bot what to do.  Also, please never change a bot error on the basis of your interpretation of a single dictionary. For the long term benefit of the wiki, I need to be informed of what you think is an error, and then I need to make a determination as to whether it really is an error.  There are many cases where one BrEng dictionary is in disagreement with another (travelling is a good example, as some BrEng dictionaries accept traveling as okay, whereas others don't).  00:46: Tue 02 Oct 2012
 * Ah, sorry. I just thought "spelling mistake, correct it". By the way, I think it's effecting 'rr as well as 'll words, for example, "referred". I just came across "refered" on the A Town Called Mercy page, which my browser's spellchecker is reporting as a spelling mistake. I don't know if the bot altered it or it was spelt that way in the first place, but it should be "referred" (I double checked with a Google search, which offered the same correction), so I changed that one too, before reading the above comment.
 * Nah, there are no significant differences in -rr words. SpellBot doesn't come anywhere close to the word refer. That was just a plain, old typo.  SpellBot doesn't correct all spelling errors — just Americanisms. And I should stress that there's not generally a problem with -ll words.  This is only a problem with that small percentage that go with -ll in participle form.  Of these, I'm only aware of the error with enrol. Others, like appal and enthral are fine.  That's not to say that all the bugs have been squashed, but SpellBot is largely effective and doesn't generally have an "-ll problem".  01:12: Tue 02 Oct 2012

From your response to Digifiend, I'm glad I spotted that it might be (& I now know it was) an automated process & didn't just correct that one error.

As for creating an account: I tend not to join things or sign up for things uless I really have to. I might (if I can find time) fill out the article on Dæmos Rising. (I have the DVD & have watched it, which nobody else seems to have done). If so, I'll probably register before I update the thing, so I don't end up looking like a dozen different users instead of just one. Otherwise, I expect I'll continue to lurk & only make my presence known when I feel like it -- a bit like the Doctor, except my face (IP address) changes more often than his.

 * This only actually affects 1024x768 screen resolution, which evidently isn't supported any more. I'm not happy about it either (as my old monitor can't display a larger resolution), but there's nothing we can do about it. There is another problem also - when I go to Undo something, the editing window doesn't appear. Therefore, if I'm reverting something, but want to edit something else at the same time (say, to correct a typo), I have to do it in two stages. It should be possible to do it in a single edit, but isn't because the version comparison appears INSTEAD of the editing window, rather than above it like it's meant to.

The right side margins on the article pages here have been moved! If you did that, thank you very much!! :D On a less important note, the talk pages are still full screen, so the right margins are still missing on these pages for me. Fortunately, only 10 pixels or so. Thanks!! :)  Jay JLOM Things turn out for the best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out - John Wooden 00:42, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

Prefixes
I'm sure there's deliberation over the out-of-universe prefixes, but I'm assuming it's fine if HOMEVID, GAME and NOTDWU are added to Tardis:Prefixes? -- Tybort (talk page) 19:10, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm gathering that Valid sources/Detailed list needs amending thanks to the bot move calling everything AUDIO, AUDIO, AUDIO and AUDIO and so forth. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:19, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Error in Connections to media franchises categorisation
The people in the Actors who appeared on Game of Thrones category should really be Actors who appeared in Game of Thrones. I'm guessing that a bot job is the easiest way of fixing this? -- Tybort (talk page) 23:08, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Another error on a locked page
The short-form of this wiki is Tardis, rather than TARDIS, right? Because in Tardis:Tardis Manual, there's a segment which goes "Firstly, the articles on the TARDIS wiki are presented as historical recordings that have been pieced together from scraps of information left over" -- Tybort (talk page) 22:18, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

DWTV Eleven pic
I noticed that the DWTV template's Eleven picture is getting to be rather small, given how many episodes Eleven has. I'd like to suggest this as a possible replacement. Memnarc ☎  10:24, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Screw-up of dab
What should be a normal "Beltempest" (as I can't see any other in-universe Beltempests") is disambiguated as Beltempest (Human). Only an admin can fix this properly (and naturally the bot can change over the links), as Beltempest already exists as a redirect to Beltempest (novel). -- Tybort (talk page) 19:04, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, Anthony Williams should be on Anthony Williams (artist), while Anthony Williams (P.S.) should be on the un-disambiguated page. I'd have probably fixed it myself, but I was wary as to whether P.S. was technically a deleted/unproduced scene narrated by Arthur Darvill. -- Tybort (talk page) 14:29, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Of the minute templates
Hi, I'm having some trouble with your 'article of the minute' templates. I copied it all over to the DWCW correctly, and it works fine, except for one issue - I have four of them on the same page, and despite being completely separate templates, they always show the same thing. Can you help at all? See http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Changing_templates?t=20121011105502.  Tardis1963   talk  00:16, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Bad English: "one of the only"
In several articles, I've noticed the phrase "one of the only". This is bad English. In every case I've encountered, the intended meaning is obviously "one of the few". From a quick Google search, there are about 1440 articles containing "one of the only", so I'm not going to try correcting this solecism manually.

Hebrew Wiki
"Note that w:c:tardis no longer links to a Hebrew wiki, because there are 2 of them, both having just 1 page of content. If either of these 2 Hebrew wikis gets a community going, we might relink in the future"

They grow up so fast don't they? The Hebrew Doctorpedia now has... drumroll please... 485 pages. As the administrator of my own Wolfenstein Wiki I would sincerely recommend sending in an interlanguage link request for the English and Hebrew wikis. That would give the hard, hard-working editors of the Hebrew wiki the recognition and attention they deserve- hell, 485 pages? I'd give them a MediaWiki:Sitenotice spotlight, myself!

As a matter of fact, the interlanguage system for this wiki is in a tad of disarray. Several of the wikis you link to on the bottom of the page are not formally interlanguage linked, and can not appear in MediaWiki's language section on the Main Page. I would recommend sending in a request for EVERY possible combination. That would best be achieved as follows:


 * de
 * de to en
 * es
 * es to en
 * es to de
 * nl
 * nl to en
 * nl to es
 * nl to de

Et cetera. That way we know nothing is missed on any wiki. It might get a bit unwieldy with all the requests so one might consider creating a user subpage then linking to that user subpage on the requests page.

Or alternatively, you could grant me permission to manage this- I've been through this multiple times, for my wiki and others. Whatever you decide, thank you for contributing to the international Wikia community! Elecbullet ☎  03:10, October 23, 2012 (UTC)

Strange prefix - Possible Bot error
It seems strange that the direct-to-video production Downtime has the prefix PROSE in Lethbridge-Stewart family. According to the article's History, the prefix was changed from MA to PROSE by CzechBot 11:48, September 17, 2012.

Since this is a Bot edit, there may be other instances of this or a similar error.

Being away
That's fine, I was away for a week or so. And I imagined you were up to something important, and the current election is certainly important. --Tangerineduel / talk 05:46, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

Sixth Doctor main image
Just curious, what wasn't T:ICC compliant about the image that I added? I based its dimensions off of another infobox image (although for the life of me, I can't remember which one...) Memnarc ☎  06:04, October 25, 2012 (UTC)

...on List of Doctor Who television stories page the Missing Episode Key alongside First Doctor, shows up as blue boxes and I don't mean TARDIS' :) The Librarian ☎  15:12, October 26, 2012 (UTC)
