Temporary forums
Heya! Hope your new year has started off well, too! Mine has begun busily, and with a ton of inclement weather. So I'm running behind this week, along with it being a holiday week. So I'm not sure I'll reasonably be able to make this somewhat artificial deadline of the 24th to have the forums back in place. Would you mind giving me until Monday, 1 February? I'd rather avoid adding a second step to the forum restoration process if at all possible. Thanks! 02:55: Thu 20 Jan 2022
 * Hey :) I ran into another coupla roadblocks last week, and spo I couldn't get back over here. If y'all could give me another coupla weeks, I'd be super appreciative. 20:34: Tue 01 Feb 2022

Completely confused
Hi! About those edits regarding Bessie (which I apologise for if it looked like vandalism, I just genuinely thought it was the case), I’m actually kinda confused - I don’t really remember any DWU TV stories that focus on fully sentient vehicles. I say TV stories since I’ve only really seen those, as they are usually more commercially available. Nor can I remember any other sentient DW vehicles as well, aside from the TARDIS. The only non-organic life forms I can think of with any sentience are the likes of the Autons, WOTAN, and K9. Could you direct me to any examples of sentient vehicles, as well as instances of vehicles narrating a DW story? Thanks! 00:03: Tues 25 Jan 2022

What does the “council” tag mean (w’ signature)
On your profile, next to the administrator tag, there’s a “council” tag. You’re the only user I’ve seen so far with it. What does it mean? (Sorry for forgetting to sign the last time I did this) GaganTopia ☎  21:31, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

Fandom updates
Hey there! I posted some Fandom updates here, which includes details on an upcoming MediaWiki upgrade to the platform. If you have any questions/feedback/comments on it, please do message on my talk page! As normal, if you wanted to continue a thread left by another admin too that'd be great to keep things in one place. Thanks! :) --Spongebob456 talk 21:52, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Template:Wales crew update?
Sorry to bother you, but do you have any idea when the updates to the "Wales crew" template might be completed? I know I've put in a lot of requests; apologies for cluttering up the talk page! As I mentioned before, I would love to learn how the template works so I could do the fiddly bits myself, although I completely understand if you'd rather just handle them centrally.

Deletion request
Hello, I accidentally created a misspelt category that needs promptly deleting, "Category:Individuals Fairies", that I've remade as "Category:Individual Fairies", meant for Jasmine Pierce to denote her species. I hope the new category is acceptable and I apologise for the mistake. Kind regards. RedWizard98 ☎  15:20, 20 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, other administrator has resolved issue, please ignore above. RedWizard98 ☎  20:53, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy
Hey!

Recently, Fandom staff posted updates to the Fandom Wiki Rules and Blocking Policy. As a reminder, this is a global policy to aid the wellbeing of communities that all wikis have been following since 2021. These new changes go into effect on April 4th.

I'll let you read through those changes and if you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page! :) --Spongebob456 talk 15:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Maps
Hey! Made a post about the new Interactive Maps feature - does Tardis have any maps suitable for that? --Spongebob456 talk 12:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC)

Twice upon a Time Hartnell TARDIS
On the Fugitive Doctor TARDIS page, it states.

"The TARDIS prop appears to have the exterior used by the First Doctor as played by David Bradley in Twice Upon a Time, originally created as a replica of the William Hartnell-era TARDIS for the docu-drama An Adventure in Space and Time. The TARDIS console also carries over from these productions."

This is not correct. This exterior was commissioned from ThisPlanetEarth, who make TARDIS exterior replicas. The Box was in fact their Pertwee style box that was altered to more resemble the way the TARDIS looked in 1966, as the box was modified during the War Machines. Because of these modifications, the Adventures in Space and Time box would no longer resemble the box in 1966, being more based loosely on the 1963 prop.

I can provide sources and evidence for this.
