I'm not saying it is, I'm saying it looks like one. It just doesn't look very appealing.

I re-uploaded it from someone else, who had uploaded it as a .png.

Name
After almost 125 responses (!), the discussion over the wiki's imminent name change appears to be nearing conclusion. You have 24 hours to register your objections at Thread:117468. If you don't, the name will change to Tardis Data Core tomorrow. 22:59: Tue 08 Jan 2013

Please apologize for implying I am a liar
Your auto-deletion of my edit on Quick Reads brands me a lair. Please actually check the edits before you blindly delete them. Look at the cover for The Silurian Gift. Does it say £1 or does it not say £1. Do you actually own any copies of Quick Reads. I do and they contain 100 pages of story text. If you don't want people to contribute information, then lock the damn pages and make them accessible only to you and your buddy CzechOut. 70.72.211.35talk to me 17:08, January 20, 2013 (UTC)

Spelling
(you spelled "note" wrong at the top of this page, and "message" should be plural...) OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:29, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Message Wall
I have a huge, running ticket of all the little bugs I find with the Wall Forum, and I filed this one back in December. I'll be going back in February to give BertH a nudge on the issues that haven't been resolved by then. They have a huge backlog of fixes still lingering from their Christmas break, and I wanna see what happens by February before I start saying, "Hey, whatever happened with this one?" 01:29: Sat 26 Jan 2013

Don't delete videos just cause they're "unused"
I know you love to delete unused files, so I should tell you that videos don't obey the expected rules of file usage. If you go to cricket bat, you'll see a video in the right rail. This video, File:Coming to terms with regeneration - Doctor Who Castrovalva - BBC is actually on cricket bat, regeneration and Fifth Doctor. But being in the right rail doesn't "count" towards the file usage stat, so you get this false positive "no pages link to this image" message.

For this reason, I'd advise that you not delete videos on the basis of the "file usage" stat. You should pretty much assume that every video uploaded is being used somehow, even if it's not readily apparent how. 08:18: Sat 26 Jan 2013

Re:Speculation
Oops... I had a source, I just forgot to add it... Keep in mind that that page is very aggravating to edit, what with the "spoilers" warning popping up ever five seconds... OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:32, January 27, 2013 (UTC)

Block
I just got this message when I tried to edit a page.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You're blocked. Blocking admin 		Mini-mitch Reason		Vandalism. Pure, simple vandalism at the following page(s) --> Block start 		13:56, February 10, 2013 Block end 		infinite Intended blockee 		199.27.76.23 Block ID 		3907 Current IP 		199.27.76.23

You can contact Mini-mitch or another administrator to discuss the block. Please include all details in the above box — but especially the block id number in gold — in any queries you make.

I really don't think that I've done anything to deserve blocking. I've certainly never vandalised a page. Is this a mistake? I'm flabbergasted, I really am. --GusF ☎  14:30, February 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, that's a relief anyway! I thought that it was a mistake as I knew that I had done nothing wrong and the block became intermittent after I posted the above message. Thanks for the explanation! --GusF ☎  14:44, February 10, 2013 (UTC)

How many bleeding sources do I need?!?!?!?!
I've been told that I'm not providing sufficient sources to say that episode 12 will be "The Last Cyberman".

Now I don't know how you run this god forsaken wiki but why the hell is four sources (one of which is a bleeding interview with Neil Gaiman himself stating that it's called "The Last Cyberman") not enough?!

And yes I am annoyed and you're bound to get this day in and day out so you're probably more annoyed than I am right now...

50th
Well, to be frank I see no issue with adding it to the page. But carry on. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 00:23, February 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * I Hines Sight, can we keep the info on the 50th on the page? Until we have a page on the special or we even get confirmation of series 8 I think it's best to keep it on the Series 7 page. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 01:25, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

Is there something wrong with the site?
I ask because my day counter rolled back to zero a few days ago, despite the fact that I have been contributing daily for some time now (You can check my Contributions for confirmation), and today I kept getting an error message when I tried to edit a page. When I finally managed it, I checked my counter again, but it didn't register today's contribution.The Nth Doctor ☎  01:17, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

Game of Rassilon problem
In the Game of Rassilon, the Doctor's Golden TARDIS Key has reset to 1 for me in spite of the fact that I've contributed every day. It should be at 336. This may have something to do with the fact that last year was a leap year and so the corresponding day last year was 29 February. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks. --GusF ☎  15:19, March 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Is there any update on fixing this? --GusF ☎  20:08, March 4, 2013 (UTC)

GOR
Is there any chance at all that you could possibly come up with some more editing tracks for the Game of Rassilon? I meant to get around to making some new ones, but I'm just swamped with work. 01:36: Thu 04 Apr 2013

Series 7 deletion
Hi, just checking something about the info you recently deleted from Series 7 (Doctor Who). When you deleted each episode name being mentioned in the episode, did you also mean to delete the info on the "cumbrian agenda" and the re-occurrence of "eleventh", or was this by mistake?

Only it wouldn't surprise me if they may be akin to the memes of Bad Wolf, Mr. Saxon, etc of previous series, and might be worth keeping. Geek Mythology ☎  15:27, April 23, 2013 (UTC)

Pic issues
Just to keep you abreast of maintenance issues with files:
 * Full delete of unlicensed images happened over the weekend, sort of a mid-series cleanup
 * I've been whittling away at Special:WantedFiles pretty consistently for days, now, and it's mostly down to inconsequential, unreal "example" redlinks and things that are in infoboxes and therefore require manual deletion. About 300-odd redlinks have been deleted. We're below 200 redlinks for the first time in literally years, and a goodly number of these aren't "real" deleted links, but examples in template instructions.  (If you've never been to WantedFiles before, it's essentially the flip side to the file deletions that we've been doing.  It shows what happens when you delete a file but not its existing links.)  22:41: Thu 02 May 2013

Series question
Hey, Mini-mitch. I asked Czech a question here regarding series pages a while back, and he redirected me to you. The question is regarding prequels — how do they fit in to series pages? I've noticed that series 7 has Prequel (The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe), the two Snowmen prequels and The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel. But why not Prequel (Asylum of the Daleks) or The Making of the Gunslinger? Why aren't there any prequels on the series 6 page? Or, for that matter, why aren't there Tardisodes on the series 2 page? Should they all be included, or should we get rid of them all from series pages? It all seems kind of random to me, as if we've picked which prequels to include with a blindfold on. As you seem to be the admin most active on series pages, I thought maybe you could offer your opinion on the matter. Thanks! --SOTO ☎ 01:14, May 10, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. That is actually a great idea. I'll implement it on the other series pages. --SOTO ☎ 00:33, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Series 7 finale spoiler warning
There's a typo in the spoiler warning announcement, it starts with "Please not", instead of "Please note". Minor, but totally changes the meaning, so please fix it.

Why did you move Dorium Maldovar back to one-episode companion? Anoted ☎  22:28, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Series 8
Hello again. This is actually my first series here (mainly because of series 7 taking up two years — I clearly have not been here for two years, much less one.) Anyway, I noticed that you created series 7 (Doctor Who) midway through s6. At this point in time, series 8 has been confirmed, and we have just as much information as you had in the just-started series 7. So... do we wait, or do we create series 8 (Doctor Who)? --SOTO ☎ 02:15, May 27, 2013 (UTC)
