Edit History?
CzechOut, this is a little trivial but I read the descriptions for all of the discussion boards and it didn't seem like my question was appropriate for any of them, even Help.

My question is how can I see the edit history of a Page? I just can't find the option to view this, like you can under History on "the other wiki". Is this view only available to Admins? It seems like it would be pretty simple feature since lots of users refer to other people's edits or reverts of edits. But I can't find it. : ( Badwolff ☎  21:13, May 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply and instructions. Although a revert did just happen on a Howling thread where someone accidentally deleted some comments and the discussion had to be reverted. I guess it's an option there if you know what you're looking for! Thanks, again. Badwolff ☎  22:10, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Photo License Accident
I was uploading a photo of River's diary and I think I accidentally forgot to add the license to it. I realized right after I clicked to add the photo, it should've been labeled as a Screencapture, and I've been trying to figure out how to correct the mistake but I haven't been able to find a way to add the license after the fact. I know the photos have to have one and it was just a stupid oversight on my part, so I wanted to let you know so it doesn't appear that I was intentionally trying to leave off the license. I'm hoping there's an easy way to fix it. Mewiet ☎  08:15, May 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, I was looking at some other uploads and I think I managed to correct the mistake. Mewiet ☎  08:22, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

Revealing dab terms in dab pages
I'm a little bit confused about one aspect of your recent edits at Out of Time. Your edit summaries seem to imply that revealing dab terms is preferable, even though all the information in the term is then immediately revealed in more detail after the link. For example, in... the dab term just gets repeated in fill sentence format. The same applies to the other two.
 * Out of Time (CON episode), an episode of Doctor Who Confidential broadcast alongside The Big Bang.

Now this is fine for out-of-universe lists like this. The problem really arises when you end up with something like this: This is simply unreadable! Obviously, Lucy is not in such a state, but you seem to be implying that it should be. So is there a line to be drawn here, or do you truly believe that we should reveal all dab terms? If so, why?
 * Lucy (Human Nature) (PROSE: Human Nature)
 * Lucy (Evolution) (PROSE: Evolution)
 * Lucy (Slow Decay) (PROSE: Slow Decay)
 * Lucy (Trace Memory) (PROSE: Trace Memory)
 * Lucy (The Vampires of Venice) (TV: The Vampires of Venice)
 * Lucy (Wishing Well) (PROSE: Wishing Well)
 * Lucy (The Ratings War) (AUDIO: The Ratings War)

(ps. somehow, this didn't post when I clicked publish almost a day ago. :/ ) --SOTO ☎ 16:29, May 25, 2013 (UTC)

Sort keys
Hi! If I find a page with multiple sort keys, which one should I keep? It's usually a choice between "default" and either "name" or "title", depending on the type of page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  02:58, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've found two tonight: Neil Sedaka and BBC Wales VFX. Shambala108 ☎  03:16, May 26, 2013 (UTC)

Bernice GOR
I asked User:Tangerineduel for some Benny ideas and here's what he came up with: Combining his with mine, there's more than 8 so that should be enough to go on hopefully. Shambala108 ☎  03:39, May 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Archaeology: "You've found coprolite on Apollox 4, Congrats!", "I found the Sword of Forever and all I got was...death",
 * Students:
 * Drinking: "Have a toast; M3 Variant and Potato Spirit",
 * Eating: "Ate pizza in the 60s for the first time",
 * Culture: "Star Trek TNG's a documentary right?",
 * Sex with 8: "Standing naked with the Seventh Doctor; about romantic as a fish", "A Doctor who may change but never die" (actual quote from The Dying Days)
 * Marriage/Weddings: "Sherlock came to the wedding.", "The Brigadier came to the wedding", "Ice Warriors came to the wedding", "Ace had sex with a clone of my husband at the wedding.", "Started naked in a field with an Ice Warrior ended in the arms of Jason",
 * Doctor/Companion length: "Travelled with the Doctor, then worked for his brother.",
 * Ice Warriors: "Shurr…" (It's what the Martians call Benny and is like Dame or something)


 * Re images - I pulled some images out of the Bernice image category, but they're almost exclusively cover pictures for audio & prose, so none of them really match the ideas we have. Mostly I just went with images that have a good close-up of her face. Shambala108 ☎  02:01, May 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * It looks great! I think your idea of using images of different people is better than what I came up with. I just don't know Bernice very well.


 * I have to admit I'm glad you kept "I dig archaeology". Not only is it a really bad pun, but when I found on her page that she had a badge with that quote, I was hoping we would use it. Shambala108 ☎  02:49, May 30, 2013 (UTC)

Society vs Planets?
I noticed you moved the categories Skaro, Traken, and a few others to the "Society" category, rather than planets. I changed some of them back without really thinking about it, but I thought I should get your reasoning (does it have anything to do with planets being part of the Game of Rassilon now?) before I dug myself any further into a possible faux pas. Memnarc ☎  03:28, May 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Gotcha'. I undid Traken and Skaro, but I'm a little hazy on Sol System planets. I mean with the other two, I get that recursion's a factor, and no other category really fits, but Sol System planets already has another category and could probably be put under Mutter's Spiral planets (which I'm having a hard time finding any recursion on).

Navigation Help
I want to know how to set up the wiki navigation and the font on my wiki, UEFA Wiki. Here's a link http://uefa.wikia.com/wiki/UEFA_Wiki. I know it has something to do with the css but I want the code. Thanks --QuestionRules 21:09, May 28, 2013 (UTC)

Abuse filter tweak
Somehow, this diff did not trigger the abuse filter, even though I'm sure that most of those words are on the list. Could you look into that when you have the time? --SOTO ☎ 15:39, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Really? I kind of remember you getting blocked temporarily for editing a MediaWiki page that was a long list of every piece of profanity that you could ever imagine. Did you rethink, and get rid of that page?
 * Anyway, that's actually good news. I've had to refrain from adding things like Owen's amazingly complete definition of "fuck buddy" in fear of getting blocked by the abuse filter.
 * --SOTO ☎ 20:04, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't remember what it's called. If I did, I'd have linked you. But it was just a long paragraph of almost every single possible swear word and combination. I tried to find it through your block and abuse logs, but it didn't seem to be there. I do distinctly remember such a page. I'm positive that it was sometime in April, as it was after CBG (what happened to her?) triggered the filter at the beginning of the month, and before the page user:abuse filter was created at the end of it (it was a redlink at the time). --SOTO ☎ 20:34, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here, I found it: MediaWiki:BadWords. What's its purpose, if not to block people to use those words? --SOTO ☎ 22:19, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Lol. Probably. Okay, thank you for clearing that up. It's good to know that I can relay "bad words" into our articles from NAs and Torchwood. --SOTO ☎ 23:11, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

Bad words
Might as well put it under a new heading here too. Actually, here is the dialogue in which it comes up in Out of Time:
 * Owen: We could be fuck buddies.
 * Diane: What's a fuck buddy?
 * Owen: It's, um, it's a friend that you have casual sex with.

So the article would say something like:
 * A fuck buddy was, according to Owen Harper, "a friend that you have casual sex with." Owen offered Diane Holmes such a relationship after she accidentally travelled from 1953 to 2007 through the Cardiff Rift. (TV: Out of Time)

You see? Not just a page for the sake of having the word "fuck" in it, but just a nicely defined term getting its own page. This seems fine to me. --SOTO ☎ 23:38, May 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Created it. I created category:sex in the process. I hope you don't mind it being under category:culture. Should it be under biology as well? --SOTO ☎ 00:04, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
