HAVOC
The page has been moved, as requested. 06:22, January 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * Very, very much. I'm also quite busy with it at w:c:snicket. I mean, fun busy, of course. 06:43, January 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * Might I also add: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek. :D 06:45, January 15, 2017 (UTC)

Legacy Wiki interlinking
High, I seem to remember you are a proponent of including the game more on this Wiki. I hope our arguments did not create an impression that I dislike the game. I really don't. And so I suddenly had an idea how to increase the visibility of the game on this Wiki. We already track playable characters of the game in the notes/behind the scenes sections (well, not very consistently, but still. The idea is to add interwiki links to the pages on DWLegacy wiki. They have kinks to this Wiki, and there are many editors in common. Of course, for the Doctors, this would be barely noticeable. But for minor characters, like Kharitite or Cerebravore, whose pages are pretty short, this would add credence to the character and at the same time alert readers to the game, which is, ultimately, the point I guess. Since you are more of the specialist on wikifying the game than me, I wanted to ask your opinion before doing anything. My own interest here is that I try to flesh out Titan comic books at the moment, and Titan and Legacy seem to have a robust collaboration going on. So there are quite a few characters in common. I'll try to add some data, say to Kharitite page, to see how it might look and whether admins think it is against some policy I don't know. Amorkuz ☎  10:24, January 17, 2017 (UTC)


 * Great idea about the template. Well, let's see what others think. I went into my game and entered all companions starting from A and B. In doing so, I got some additional thoughts (some of which are based on observing your work):


 * First, I'm not sure anymore if the BHS section is needed unless one can say something interesting, like "is both character and enemy".
 * I don't think it makes sense to provide links to each playable character or to both character and enemy in all cases (the 5 shades of Adipose is a prime example; for him I linked to the disambig page on DWL wiki). However, there are cases where the choices of the game designers say something. For instance, Me for the ally and for the enemy is taken from different episodes. Or the three versions of Amy and where they're taken from. (In fact, looking at the choices of the DWL creators, shouldn't there be a page for Amy Pond from River Song's World here on this wiki? I mean the creators are as much fans as the best of us, so their choices are not arbitrary though not always in line with our policies.)
 * Where there is a discernible difference between the characters, I tried to explain it in the BHS, sometimes naming the episodes. I think that's an additional view of the characters. I mean though our policies do not provide for creating a separate page for "The Girl Who Waited", I never liked playing with her because her story is just too sad. Thus, mentioning that she has been separated in DWL may be interesting for some people.
 * To summarise: I think if we overlink, people might get mad as this is not DWL wiki. But there are interesting points to make, IMHO, regarding the nature of some characters. Amorkuz ☎  01:01, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

Vandalism on someone else's user page
Thank you for making note of the vandalism done at User:PicassoAndPringles' user page. However, as the rule goes, non-admins should never edit the user page of another, even in these cases. To quote from T:USER OTHER:
 * "If you notice that someone else's user page has been vandalised, please do not revert on your own initiative. Instead, please alert an admin. Admin have greater powers to notice editing patterns, and so are in a better position to identify the seriousness of the vandalism."

That said, your efforts are appreciated. But do try to keep this in mind in the future. 01:47, January 19, 2017 (UTC)

My vagabond shoes
Thanks for noticing my interest in New York. In fact, Brooklyn was what compelled me to start editing Titanic pages more seriously. I'm happy that my efforts are appreciated even though I came to the game pretty late when it was already very well established. I would be honoured to summarise the effect Anubis and Dorothy had on New York. By the way, do you know if Jack ever established a new Torchwood base under the Rockefeller Center? There were hints on the possibility of this in COMIC: Arena of Fear. But I am sadly not up-to-date on BF and Titan Torchwood. Amorkuz ☎

War Chief
I can't think of any others besides Divided Loyalties, and that's in what the Doctor refers to as a "bad dream". The only other appearance of the War Chief is Timewyrm: Exodus, which has, near the end, Ace describe the War Chief as "a young man, tall, dark and satanically handsome" - which is something Dicks has used in the past to refer to Delgado's Master. So, really, one book is not "many", and I'm not sure what you could be referring to. --Pluto2 (talk) 02:08, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * It's more that I feel none of the dream in Divided Loyalties should be taken at face value. This is the Celestial Toymaker giving people bad dreams, so any info from those parts shouldn't be taken as fact. This is in general, as Divided Loyalties seems to have been trying to tie threads together that simply shouldn't be tied. Putting the Monk and the Doctor together as school buddies flies in the face of The Time Meddler, which is abundantly clear that the two have never met before. --Pluto2 (talk) 03:14, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
 * The excessive continuity isn't the problem. It's that it's bad continuity. It tries to lead into The Nightmare Fair but doesn't do so very well. It lumps all the renegades into the same clique. It has a pseudonym used by the Master be his actual name. Incidentally, can you join the Discord server? --Pluto2 (talk) 03:36, January 22, 2017 (UTC)

Vince Cosmos
Sure, I didn't read it. Nor am I planning to. But Enter Wildthyme very clearly does not have him in the character list but does have him as "mentioned" in the continuity section. I'm sorry that people who know this stuff (I don't mean you) prefer to argue for adding more Vince stories instead of fixing pages that already have him to a state usable for others. Since you also know this story, could you please correct the page then? Amorkuz ☎  11:57, January 25, 2017 (UTC)

Magrs
Yeah, man. Amen to that. He feels like my kind of writer. But, to be honest, he's been tainted for me ever since Fwhiffahder tried to shove it down our collective throat. I never take lightly to that. It's Newton's Third Law, really, the more they try to push Magrs, the more people would resist. I never even paid attention to these inclusion debates as they are about stories I don't know. And, oh, how I would love admins to handle all this policy-creation changing. Alas, when I see a a request to an admin to fast-track closing of a thread, go to the thread and see three people, all known for their love of (currently) invalid stuff, all agreeing that of course this should be included, guess what, it does look like a consensus, if only because nobody else read/listened to the stories and refrained from commenting out of caution.

message
Hi! I removed the message from denchen you posted on his talk page. I don't necessarily approve of a user, who has been so completely banned that he can't post on his own talk page, posting a message via another user. However, whatever I feel about that method, I certainly do not approve of his message criticizing the person who caught him breaking one of the most important rules on this wiki. Thanks for your attention. Shambala108 ☎  00:39, February 26, 2017 (UTC)

Moving pages
Unfortunately, at Tardis we've made it policy that admin have to perform the renames. It's not just a matter of leaving behind a redirect; it's understood that when an admin hits the button, he or she (or in my case, they) has made sure that links have been moved, and that it's the right thing to do in the first place. Sorry, sorry, I'm going off.

Short answer: no. 00:41, February 28, 2017 (UTC)

Companions of the Twelfth Doctor
The only reason I haven't done this yet is that I want to confirm that I should. The fact that it's locked gives me, and the other admins, the responsibility, in updating it, of making sure that this is done correctly. Even just within TV, Rigsy is, if anything, Clara's companion, in a way. In his first appearance, he barely interacts with the Doctor at all, and Clara even pretends to be him, then he contacts Clara in his second appearance. I don't see how he's a companion more than, say, Danny.`Danny's been part of the main action, too. And Bors seems, to me, a ridiculous stretch.

I'm not sure how I feel about Grant and gang being "comic originals", though I see the logic, and otherwise it all looks fine. Somehow, television companions are always the least clear-cut. So for now, I'm leaving the television line as is, but I updated the rest as requested. I'd be happy to add entries to the television section as well, if appropriate, but I've yet to really hear any arguments/reasoning for those additions. Naturally, the Paternoster Gang would only be added if also added to. 04:28, March 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hang on, I didn't? Well, there you go. I realised afterwards it would actually be better to wait until the new companions comes in, but even now I know I didn't actually update it, I did tell you I would. Here's my edit. 04:02, March 12, 2017 (UTC)

Dating for "Image of the Fendahl"
Hello. I think that there might have been a calendar in the story but I can't be 100% sure as I haven't watched it since I made those edits, I'm afraid. --GusF ☎  20:37, March 12, 2017 (UTC)

Bovril
Quite right. I did go to sleep, and did not mind the creation of the page in the slightest. I couldn't have made it better myself. In fact, I'm glad you did it because I was not aware of this thing in the real world. Amorkuz ☎  12:16, March 18, 2017 (UTC)
