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)

quotes
I keep coming across occasions were pages need deleting or other things I can't do so can you make me an admin please?--Skittles the hog 21:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * For now just chuck the on the pages that need deleting. --Tangerineduel 06:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Cheers! Any chance I could become an admin?Skittles the hog 16:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * For now...I don't want say no, I'm just reluctant to at the moment. Why do you want to become an admin and what edit/article are you most proud? --Tangerineduel 07:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

I want to become an admin as I will no longer have a need to ask you these questions plus I'm on here alot and so find many a mistake. What do you meen by the article im most proud of?--Skittles the hog 16:46, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * What questions do you mean? The proposed delete is around and it didn't come with being an admin. I thought my question was a valid one (that I borrowed from the wikipedia questions to proposed admins), what article are you most proud of or which article(s) have you spent some effort on that you're happy with. For instance The Dark Dimension is an article I'm quite happy with as it's edited and referenced quite well. I'm also happy with The Infinity Doctors and most of the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures and Virgin Bernice Summerfield New Adventures ranges. I just wanted to see some lengthy articles/edits you've completed rather than base my judgement on your posts on my talk page (which don't fill me with confidence). --Tangerineduel 06:46, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
