Talk:Doctor Who Wiki

Hello
Can someone please add this wiki to category:Big wikis? it has almost 5 thousand articles.


 * Do you mean the Big wikis page? It's already linked on there. Angela (talk) 23:44, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Help Please
Sorry but I've been away for about 6 months and as the Panopticon seems to be abandoned, can somebody give a summary of the decisions/changes/ideas made to this wiki, so I know where to talk and how to contribute/edit.

Thanks,
 * --GingerM 19:07, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not abandoned, it's just now at Forum:Panopticon. 19:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Obituary announcements on Main Page
Just wondering what everyone thinks is an appropriate length time of time for carrying such announcements on the Main Page. Two weeks? A month? Also should we carry a message of support and condolence for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, as other wikis are doing? --Freethinker1of1 00:40, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * I think a month is probably appropriate for obituaries. If the other wikis are carrying messages of support and condolences I think we should too. Anyone else have an opinion?--GingerM 19:48, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Statistics Page
I found a wikicities statistics page for this wiki here. Should we put a link to it on the Main Page / somewhere else?--GingerM 20:56, 16 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * A Statistics page already exists on this wiki, which is much easier to read and understand, without all the confusing tables and percentages the other one has. I think the one you found is more for the use of the administrators of Wikia, to monitor the activity levels of all the different wikis, making it easier to find and if necessary delete inactive and abandoned ones. --Freethinker1of1 17:30, 17 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Category Organization Ideas
I'm not a regular contributor to this wiki, but I have some suggestions for category organization on this wiki if anyone is interested:


 * Rather than lumping inanimate items into "Objects" have separated main categories for things like "Vehicles", "Weapons", "technology" (Gizmos? Gadgets?), etc.
 * Merge "Galaxies" and "Planets" into a larger category called "Locations" or "Places"
 * Maybe add a category for "Villains" (Good for races like Daleks and Cybermen, as well as individuals like Davros or The Master)

Otherwise, nice looking wiki. I will likely revisit often. --Majikjon 00:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Featured articles
So should we vote on featured articles here? Or should we vote somewhere else? 17:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Nope, here looks good. I nominate God (since I'm just that self-centered) and Weevil (because it's a good page immediately pops to mind). I'll get back to when I think of some other good pages. Azes13 17:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * well thank you for calling Weevil a good page, seeing the amount of work on it. however, IMO, it needs improving. see the discussion page for that entry. --***Stardizzy*** 21:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Alright, lets vote! 20:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Weevil

God
Score:  2

Doctor Who Fanon
Could someone please make an appropriate link to the Doctor Who Fanon wiki? I tried, but couldnt. Me and an IP are the only ones editing it. Thanxs The evil dudeArnie 15:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * When there is an appropriate place to put a link there will be one. But currently I don't think having a Fanon / Fan fiction link on the front/main page is a good idea. It could open up various biases, and the 'Fan Fiction' idea doesn't quite fit in with the whole idea of the TARDIS wiki. --Tangerineduel 15:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

GNU FDL/WIkia Banner Problem?
Has anyone else had the problem of the Wikia copyright banner (The one with the GNU FDL Free Doc logo) showing up smack dab in the middle of the main page? I've tried accessing the site from 3 different computers and get the same results each time, the banner showing up right underneath the 2nd Doctor image. As I type this, it's right under the text box, above the "Do not submit copyright images.. ect." line. --Colleyd 16:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)Woof.
