Proposed deletions
Hi I just wanted to let you know that we have a template for suggesting page deletions. If you use it, the page is added to the list of suggested deletions, making it easier for admins to find which pages are suggested for deletion. When you use the template,, after the word deletion you would place a | (vertical bar, sorry I don't know what it's actually called), then write your reason for proposing the deletion. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  20:10, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Didn't I do that with one of the vandalism pages? Cookieboy 2005 ☎  20:36, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

Vandals
Hi please don't engage with vandals. They want attention. Thanks Shambala108 ☎  22:50, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Re: Typo in Special:Preferences
I'm not an admin, but I am knowledgeable about this topic which is why I am responding to your message intended for Shambala. You're right that we don't have the ability to edit most of Special:Preferences, but the gadgets tab is actually entirely editable as all of the features on it were added by the wiki instead of being Fandom-wide. In fact, I'm the one who set up the gadgets currently available (with the help of an admin to perform edits to pages that only admins can edit) and so that typo is mine. The relevant page that needs editing is MediaWiki:Gadget-search bar so I'll pass it onto to an admin to get fixed. Bongo50  ☎  15:43, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, I don't know much about how gadgets work. Glad to hear that it'll be fixed (hopefully). Cookieboy 2005 ☎  17:00, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

Other users' pages
Hi please note that it is against our vandalism policy to edit other users' pages, whether sandbox or otherwise. Your intentions were good, but if you see something on another user's page that needs fixing, please ask an admin to take care of it thanks Shambala108 ☎  21:57, 22 May 2022 (UTC)


 * This also applies to other users' comments on talk pages. If you see something that needs to be removed, contact an admin. Shambala108 ☎  14:19, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Quick question (feel free to delete)
Hi Cookieboy 2005, I added the Batmobile to the category 'Fictional vehicles', and I've just seen that you recently removed this tag. Since I'm new to this wiki and I want to make good contributions, and I was wondering if you could let me know why this tag was wrong so I can avoid making similar mistakes in future? Apologies if this isn't the correct way of getting in touch! Looking forward to hearing back, Dan
 * As it hasn't appeared in content considered "DWU" by the wiki, the fact that the vehicle only seems to be presented as "real" in the game, and the fact that the category "Fictional vehicles" is for DWU fictional vehicles, it seemed no more valid than the Black Pig (which is in "Non-DWU technology"), which also appeared only in "invalid" sources. T:VALID may be a good read for further information. (also the correct way to sign a comment is with " ~ " at the end). Cookieboy 2005 ☎  15:13, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Brilliant, thank you for the explanation and the link! I'll give it a read now :) DanPPower ☎  17:46, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

Re: Noat
Edit summaries exist for a reason. Your change had already been reverted before due to lack of explanation and you then went on to make the same unexplained change again. If you see something that you admit is important rather than removing the information completely you should start a discussion on how to work around the issues, such as I did at Talk:Diane Holmes.

Categories
Hi I just want to make sure you are familiar with Tardis:Rule of three when it comes to categorization. Please make sure you don't create categories that have two or fewer items thanks Shambala108 ☎  21:54, 6 August 2022 (UTC)


 * It's preferred that you don't assume the other images will be created. If you are going to create them, do so and then create the category. If you are not going to create them, then don't create the category. The part of the policy you cited isn't really a blanket approval to assume someone else is going to create enough images or articles. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  00:00, 17 August 2022 (UTC)

Re: categories and sandbox
Yes, that is correct. Or else they should be turned from " [[Category: " to " [[:Category: ", to make them into links rather than, well, actual category tags. Although "never return to the main namespace" may come across harsher than I meant to, haha. Under current policy and in their current states they shouldn't be brought back, but I'm hardly saying "salt the earth where they were written and burn the records" here. I could see at least some of those drafts being brought back someday, for example if new accounts are published which justify their outlook better.

File on sex page
Why was the file deleted by the admins? Did I do something wrong while uploading it? Tellymustard ☎  09:02, 8 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Does the bot detect what is NSFW via the description text or some sort of image scanner?

'Eevee' figure in SJA.
Hi, the figure appeared in The Curse of Clyde Langer (TV story), I have however added a timestamp and a screenshot to the Eevee page. Georgebenee ☎

BBC DVD covers
Hi, I've been gathering every BBC DVD cover image on the wiki into one of my sandboxes, in order to see where there are any missing covers or duplicates.

Pop over and have a look, and feel free to upload any of the missing covers.

User:Doc77can/sandbox12

P.S. I'm messaging several users so check the upload log first.

This Town Cover
Politely, we were trying to get that image deleted, because This Town Will Never Let Us Go already has an image, and the image in question was uploaded under the mistaken assumption that its Prologue had a cover. Your move was counter productive, please read the edit summaries next time. Najawin ☎  22:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I left a much longer reason that Jack trimmed down. (I don't think it technically qualifies as a duplicate because it doesn't have the text.) Not the end of the world. Najawin ☎  22:50, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
 * File:This Town Will Never Let Us Go.jpg. Ah, turns out it is just a copy, so says autofill, CoT already uploaded it at File:This Town Will Never Let Us Go cover art.jpg. Open and shut case, thank you for asking for that actually! Najawin ☎  23:00, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Crossovers
Requesting permission to contribute to your crossovers sandbox. MrThermomanPreacher ☎  19:38, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

Changing page names
I was not aware non-admins could do that. Can you show me how? WaltK ☎  21:11, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

LEGO conjecture
Hi. I've noticed that you've been making pages on characters from the LEGO Dimensions promo material, but with the "conjecture" template in cases where their names are not stated. This is not needed, as per policy. Since Assimilation², it has been our policy that we do not need characters and concepts identified in crossovers for us to identify them by name. This is why pages like Leonard McCoy have the full names of characters even if some were not clearly identified in the comic. So you can add info to Proton pack without conjecture, you don't need the tag for Shaggy Rogers or Peter Venkman or Abby Yates or any of the other pages where this info will end up someday.

Weetabix
Hey, I saw you added an image to the Weetabix add page. Thank you, but I was wondering if you had an image where the Red Dalek was in full shot. I feel that'd best represent the article. Much obliged. 81.108.82.15talk to me 21:48, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
