Categories
I've got another question... I'm having a hard time figuring out the category structure. There's categories called Stories, Doctor Who stories, Television stories, Television stories by Doctor and Doctor Who television stories. Within Television stories by Doctor, the stories are called episodes: First Doctor episodes, etc.

From what I can tell, it looks like the categories sort of evolved gradually, with each person adding their own categories without necessarily looking at a larger structure.

So I'm curious about what you think -- I'm kind of a nerd about that stuff, and you may not be concerned about it at all. I'd be happy to work on revamping the category structure, or help with it if other people are interested -- but obviously, I don't want to jump into a big project like that if you're happy with it the way it is. Let me know what you think... -- Danny (talk ) 18:39, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The categories. Every so often I get motivated to fix the categories and when answering your other question I had a look at the TV stories categories noticed how haphazard they were.
 * I'm okay with how the categories are (though it annoys me sometimes). But I wouldn't say I'm happy with it. As I see it should have some sort of logic to it (even if it's its own internal logic), but it doesn't and probably needs a good shake up and fix.
 * If you want to work through how you want to do it that's okay, or if you want to start and I'll (try) and keep and eye on it, also fine.
 * Just as I said make sure its got some sort of logic to it and that its fits in with everything else and also make sure that it doesn't become TV centric as there's novels, short stories, audio dramas, magazines etc. Though some of those I have attempted to work on. In any case I'll try to help where I can. --Tangerineduel 02:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll take a crack at it when I have a little chunk of time to play with it. I'll definitely keep the structure consistent for the novels and everything.


 * I don't know if I've mentioned this to you, but I'm a huge Doctor Who fan. I've read all the Virgin and BBC novels up through the end of the EDAs, I get Doctor Who Magazine every month, and I've seen (and loved) the new Sarah Jane Adventures. Some of my happiest childhood memories involve stacks of Target novelizations. So I won't go messing things up; I know my Doctor Who. :) -- Danny (talk ) 18:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

"Proper" wiki Merges
As an aside, things like Border Princess and Border Princes should be merged properly in order to merge the histories into one place. Have you ever done this before? If not, the process is as follows:
 * 1) manually copy the information from the destination to the source article.
 * 2) delete the destination article
 * 3) move the source article to the destination (this creates the redirect too)
 * 4) undelete all deleted revisions of the page

And voila... you're done. You have all of the history from every instance of the article in one location. :) -- Sulfur 15:58, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Right (didn't know how to do it, or probably thought about it and did the easier way). Will bare it in mind for the future thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Main Page
Is anyone ever going to edit the featured article, its been there as the Second Doctor (almost) longer than i can remember. Who is meant tochange it, you?--Skittles the hog 15:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Anyone can change it really. The general rule though is that it be an article with a picture and you need to write up a good summary to put on the main page (and preferably for it to go to an interesting enough page), other than that there aren't any real set rules (there is a voting system lurking on the talk page but it's never been implemented). If no one changes it within the next 24 hours or so I'll come up with a page and change it. --Tangerineduel 16:35, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

More on the Main Page
Hi! Do you have any thoughts on the question I posted on Talk:Main Page? I don't want to make a change like that without getting your okay. :) -- Danny (talk ) 00:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I've put a reply on the main page talk page. --Tangerineduel 05:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Dalek Sec
What type of things do I report problems for then?--Skittles the hog 10:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Use the 'Report a Problem' link for such things as; possible plagiarism within the page, consistent vandalism/unhelpful content within the page etc. Use your discretion when using the 'report a problem' alert. I and the other admins do look in on the problem report pages, but it makes it easier to respond to the issues if they're in the talk pages. (Also when responding to a question please put it on my talk page instead of on my User page, thanks). --Tangerineduel 11:40, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
