Cannon?
Is Human Nature (TV story) or Human Nature (novel) cannon?

Featured article
Why is the featured article hardly ever edited. On such a big wiki I would have thought it would be edited more often. What's your opinion.--Skittles the hog 12:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Categories
I've got another question... I'm having a hard time figuring out the category structure. There's categories called Stories, Doctor Who stories, Television stories, Television stories by Doctor and Doctor Who television stories. Within Television stories by Doctor, the stories are called episodes: First Doctor episodes, etc.

From what I can tell, it looks like the categories sort of evolved gradually, with each person adding their own categories without necessarily looking at a larger structure.

So I'm curious about what you think -- I'm kind of a nerd about that stuff, and you may not be concerned about it at all. I'd be happy to work on revamping the category structure, or help with it if other people are interested -- but obviously, I don't want to jump into a big project like that if you're happy with it the way it is. Let me know what you think... -- Danny (talk ) 18:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The categories. Every so often I get motivated to fix the categories and when answering your other question I had a look at the TV stories categories noticed how haphazard they were.
 * I'm okay with how the categories are (though it annoys me sometimes). But I wouldn't say I'm happy with it. As I see it should have some sort of logic to it (even if it's its own internal logic), but it doesn't and probably needs a good shake up and fix.
 * If you want to work through how you want to do it that's okay, or if you want to start and I'll (try) and keep and eye on it, also fine.
 * Just as I said make sure its got some sort of logic to it and that its fits in with everything else and also make sure that it doesn't become TV centric as there's novels, short stories, audio dramas, magazines etc. Though some of those I have attempted to work on. In any case I'll try to help where I can. --Tangerineduel 02:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll take a crack at it when I have a little chunk of time to play with it. I'll definitely keep the structure consistent for the novels and everything.


 * I don't know if I've mentioned this to you, but I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. I've read all the Virgin and BBC novels up through the end of the EDAs, I get Doctor Who Magazine every month, and I've seen (and loved) the new Sarah Jane Adventures. Some of my happiest childhood memories involve stacks of Target novelizations. So I won't go messing things up; I know my Doctor Who. :) -- Danny (talk ) 18:46, 6 February 2008

"Proper" wiki Merges
As an aside, things like Border Princess and Border Princes should be merged properly in order to merge the histories into one place. Have you ever done this before? If not, the process is as follows:
 * 1) manually copy the information from the destination to the source article.
 * 2) delete the destination article
 * 3) move the source article to the destination (this creates the redirect too)
 * 4) undelete all deleted revisions of the page

And voila... you're done. You have all of the history from every instance of the article in one location. :) -- Sulfur 15:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Right (didn't know how to do it, or probably thought about it and did the easier way). Will bare it in mind for the future thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Banning order

 * More and more people are vandalising the Wiki I suggest we run a tighter scheduel. I have just recently proposed deletion for the page Dave Levy which read "Dave Levy is the daughter of DR poo". I suggest you ban the User DRpoo thanks very much --Skittles the hog 18:24, 22 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The user in question has been warned. His previous two edits seem fine, so aside from the Dave Levy I'll wait and see, it could just be a case of unintentional vandalism. --Tangerineduel 06:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Cyberwraiths
Why was this article deleted ? It was not based on rumour they have been seen in filming of the christmas special. You could of just of left the article there untill the story is broadcast and then fill in the information. You dont like rumour. DO you ?Quark16 14:31, 24 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Nope I don't. Not when you can't prove the information. Which is what a wiki is about, the articles need to have information that can be proved and cited. Until the Christmas special is broadcast, or until verifiable information appears in an official publication such as Doctor Who Magazine all it is is rumours and supposition. --Tangerineduel 14:39, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

A friend of mine who knowns my password tryed to reactivate the Cyberwraith page I suggest you kill them ! Or at least delete the page. Do you think the page could just stay there ? Please dont reply to YOUR comments on YOUR talk page its rather confusing I dont get that little message that says you got a new message. Overall its rather annoying. Also isnt the Star Trek page a bit random and uncessary ?Quark16 20:14, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Human Nature
But are'nt they too similar to both be in canon? As none of the humkan characters ar mind wiped so how can it happen twice?--Skittles the hog 13:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Never mind--Skittles the hog 13:49, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

You like to back up your points don't you. I have finished bulletpointing the novels (I think). So now I don'nt know what to do apart from add to stubs. Have you got any boring tasks I can do?--Skittles the hog 13:55, 27 May 2008 (UTC) (Not that I'm sad)

I'll do the orphaned pages. Any chance I can become an Admin?--Skittles the hog 14:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

As an admin I can delete the disambiguation pages that are not needed. I could also block the vandalising user quicker than normal as I would not have to wait for you to log on. That about all the reasons I can think of so...?--Skittles the hog 14:35, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok..i'll go back to the orphaned pages :(. Just to note its my brother that keeps wrongly putting users up for banningand then signing my name. I'll make him stop it. Thanks anyway. Anything I can do in order to be better?--Skittles the hog 14:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

My bad
I generally do use the "DW" format when citing episodes. I must have missed that one, sorry. 23skidoo 23:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
