Crew pages
Thank you very much for your efforts to create pages for several Doctor Who behind-the-scenes personnel. There are a few things your pages lack that would help them be even more useful. Overall, I would encourage you to read our Manual of style at some point in the near future. It'll give you some pointers about how to format articles. However, here are some key things that you might want to keep in mind for the future. Mark Vincent was the colourist on. ..
 * All behind-the-scenes pages should be flagged as an "article about the real world", the name of the person must be bolded, and you should link as many words as can be linked to articles on this wiki. So, the article Mark Vincent should begin:
 * All pages, related to people or not, should be put into a category when the article is first created. This can be accomplished several ways, but the easiest is just to click "Add category" and start typing.  The software will match your text as you type it, so you don't even have to type out the whole category.  The category for Doctor Who guest actors is exactly that:  Doctor Who guest actors.  You should take a look at Category:Doctor Who crew for a list of other possible categories.  And if you do, you'll see there's no category for Category:Doctor Who colourists. But go ahead and enter that category.  Better to have a red-linked proper category than no category at all.  (If you want to be really bold, you can click on the resulting red-link, then put that page in Category:Doctor Who crew.)
 * All articles about people should ideally be sorted in categories by the last name of the person. The recommended way of making this happen is to use a thing called "DEFAULTSORT".  Add the following to the bottom of your articles, and the system will tidy away the article without you having to think about it:
