User talk:Aquanafrahudy

Welcome to the  Thanks for your recent edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Fandom wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.

British English, please

We generally use British English 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.

Spoilers aren't cool

We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.

Other useful stuff

Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
 * the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
 * our Manual of Style
 * our image use policy
 * our user page policy

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial

R2
That's a... broad subject matter. Do you have anything specific in mind so I can narrow it down? There's quite a few discussions on licensing and R2, but I'm not sure how many of them are relevant to what specifically you're looking for. Najawin ☎  18:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Very much so. If you want just the reasoning for the strict, plain text of R2 exists and discussions of whether it should be changed and how things push the boundaries, I could look for stuff related to that. The obvious discussions off the top of my head are Talk:Fred, Forum:BBV and canon policy, and (I'm so sorry) Talk:Legacies (short story)/Archive 1. Najawin ☎  18:40, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Lemme know how else I can help. But if it's not super important, in a few months I do plan on doing a R4bp-revisited post that will touch on R2 fairly heavily. Your call. Najawin ☎  19:31, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't think this has ever been done explicitly per se. The DWU has been defined, and redefined, a few times. And then elements of the DWU follow naturally from this definition. See Forum:The original inclusion debates for the oldest discussions on the subject. Najawin ☎  22:28, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Re: tie-in websites
Yes, I have noticed Into the Unknown (series). I do mean to get around to tinkering with the coverage of that site eventually, but I am currently working on Who is Doctor Who? before overhauling Torchwood Mission Game as that has a whole slew of tie-in websites that aren't covered. It's on my to-do list, in short. Thanks for point it out though, I appreciate this sort of help. 16:57, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Cabal of the Horned Beast
Hi,

I noticed you added a photo of Aubrey Knox's gang to the Cabal of the Horned Beast page. I don't remember his gang ever being stated to be/have connection with the Cabal but it has been a good while since I read the comic. Or perhaps this was mentioned in another work? Could you possibly refresh my memory. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  15:32, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No worries, I'd have been pleased if they were connected. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  16:52, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Department of Festivities
Hey — thank you for your interest in The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids, truly, but The Quantek doesn't actually have a claim to coverage; the Department of Festivities debuted way back in 2020 in Homeworld Lockdown Vignettes. It didn't debut in Auteur's Abecedarium at all!

(Also, this is neither here nor there, but despite the "Fact File" framing, I would personally have been inclined to deem it a short story, not a feature.) Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 20:49, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Check again! It's definitely there.

"“Maybe we could adopt a fish! Or learn to cook!” suggested Pseudo-Pessimist, a duplicate of the genuine article built by Director Darius of the Drove of the Database-Compiling Dromedaries, who had taken the opportunity to claim the use of Pessimist’s desk and was, at that moment, decorating it with helium balloons that he had taken from the Department of Festivities."

- Homeworld Lockdown Vignettes


 * As I said, I'm very glad of the interest, but this just doesn't wash in this case. (Note that the series is coverable in full on the Jenny Everywhere Wiki, so if you have an interest in Wikifying this material, you can do so over there, where The Quantek has yet to be given a page.) Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 21:30, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

Re: Roland Rat
Sure, go ahead! 17:46, 15 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm thinking a forum thread. On Talk:Untitled (1986 TV story), I rather got my facts wrong about the nature of the continuity announcements, believing they were real announcements on BBC3, when BBC3 didn't even exist back then. So, given the scope of the article will be shifting to cover an entire crossover, ideally making it valid, that'll need discussion. 16:37, 3 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Best you do it as I've got many pages I need to finish off, such as Essay Competition (short story) and The Phoenix in the Tardis (feature)... 16:49, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

Immediate edits
Would it be acceptable to ask you to wait at least a couple of seconds before immediately jumping to "correct" an edit? DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  20:50, 20 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I knew it wasn't intentional to cause annoyance but I did find it slightly frustrating as I'd only just created the page that second and immediately went back to correct a mistake only to get a conflict warning. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  20:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Re: Abuse filter
Sorry about that. I made a mistake when implementing the filter that meant that it blocked all non-admins from making any edits. It should be fixed now. This will teach me to add abuse filter rules on my phone in a rush. Bongo50  ☎  20:06, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Thunderbirds validity.
If you ever do get around to I will gladly help out. I myself a a bit of a Gerry Anderson aficionado, and have likewise been thinking about it for a while. My original plan was to first of all try and get all the Lady Penelope comics validated first (and then the rest of TVC21) before starting on the main show of Thunderbirds (which would be extension validate Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons as well as the Zero X comic via the spaceship Zero X) unfortunately I struggle a little with the way this website works, but I know a lot about the works of Gerry Anderson. Anastasia Cousins ☎  17:21, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * that’s why I went for the comics first as wel already cover a significant amount of them. We could argue both under standard ruling (lady Penelope especially as she appears first in the comics, but for the other which don’t crossover with the first story (not sure which) we could argue rule four by Proxy, however the rule four by proxy would most like be best to apply to the fireball XL5 episode “Space Vacation” which is the first appearance of Kemble, this I believe would be the easiest to get validated followed by the comics. We already cover one thunderbirds episode the Man From MI5 and that could set a loose precedent. Aid we mange to get the 21 comics strip and all of his comic/short story appearances validated then we can easily push through another episode of Thunderbirds in which he appears. I have always reckoned that a series of validation debates working up from “space vacation ” and then TVC21 comics (with said debate for the comics being split for each of them) we could get people used to the idea of covwerinb more and more Gerry Anderson works. In the end I believe “Thunderbirds” “Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons” as well as possibly “fireball XL5” could be validated on this wiki (the whole of Frieball less so than thew other as it predates Doctor Who significantly. However I think the comics getting passed will work with a hard push. I know a few people who despite not being regular editors could help get the comics and “Space Vacation” validated (I can not promise). Anastasia Cousins ☎  18:27, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * 21 appearers in an episode of Thunderbirds under one of his regular pseudonyms. This would push the idea that Thunderbirds is Valid. The more solid ground we have the build the argument For the whole show the better. We get the comics with lady Penelope and Thunderbirds out then with them as the foundations we get 21 and as many other TVC21 strips validated then it’s not much of a hop to all of Thunderbirds and from Thunderbirds to Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. I still say Space Vacation has completing link to validate via the use of Kemble (over half the story is set on Kemble) we know is is the same Kimble as they where both created by the same person and thus the rights are used. Not to mention the depictions of the planet are similar enough as well. Whilst the whole of fireball is a bit of push for now the oxygen pills (created by Terry Nation for Gerry Anderson) also appear in some of the Classic Dalek annuals in the 60’s that on its own is flimsy but if we get the whole of the magazine TVC21 validated well what’s to stop us getting Fireball as well (not to mention Captain Black was the former commander of Fireball XL3), Stingray will be the hardest to push through of all of them. But for now a focus on the comics and Thunderbirds is on the main agenda, the rest can come latter.Anastasia Cousins ☎  21:11, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * that’s fair I was just getting a bit ahead of myself. But if you do have questions about the respective series’s or the comics (which I am currently about halfway through (they are well over a hundred rather think magazine issues in total)) please ask. I have after all watched them all several times. And am very familiar with the links between the comics and shows (still a few little gaps however). Interestingly with the CSatM comic validation a single big finish Captain Scarlet audio would also become valid as it is an adaptation of one of the comics Stories. (I also think some episodes of the Gerry Anderson podcast would have to be cover as sometimes they have adoptions of the comics there but I would have to double check for you in that matter.)
