"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)

Doctor Who theme
I just made a major move and revision, taking the article called "Theme Arrangement" and changing it to the more-likely-to-be-searched Doctor Who theme. I expanded and reorganized the article thoroughly. The only catch is that there's a ton of "What Links Here" artifacts where Theme Arrangement is still linked.

I'm prepared to spend some time (when time allows) removing the redirects, but if you happen to have access to a bot that can do this, please feel free. (Alternately, if you don't mind redirects - they make Wikipedians antsy which is why I'm asking here - then we can just leave it be). I put the word "theme" in lower case for the renamed article, but I wonder if it should be "Theme". Do you know if the piece of music is actually called "Doctor Who Theme"? 23skidoo 01:34, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I just realized I accidentally posted the thread to your userpage instead of your talk page. Apologies. I think keeping everything together in one article is probably best. Someone looking for information on the theme music and its various versions would probably just want to go to the one article. Spinoffs related to specific versions such as Pertwee's vocal version might be feasible later, but for not I was able to turn it into a general article on the theme by just adding a few paragraphs to what already existed regarding the different arrangements. 23skidoo 04:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Continuity vs. References
Something I've been noticing in the episode articles is that the Continuity and References sections have become interchangeable. I've also noticed duplication as people add items to one section not realizing they're listed in the other. I wonder if some reorganization might be in order, perhaps combining the two sections into one and maybe creating a "cultural references" section or something like that to handle other items. Similarly it's not always clear what should be under Story notes as I've also seen continuity/references items listed there. I've probably done so myself. Thoughts? 23skidoo 17:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Whichever way works out is OK by me. The episode articles in particular probably need some sorting and cleaning up anyway. I just removed an Army of Ghosts item in References that not only duplicated something already in Continuity, but whoever added it didn't even bother to use capitals, punctuation or wikilinks! 23skidoo 17:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
