Page swapping
Looks like User:Cyruptsaram hit a snag while attempting to disambiguate people called Rob. The "vanilla" Rob should be on Rob (The Chromosome Connection), while Rob (Disambiguation) should be the "normal" location of Rob with all the links changed. Maybe you could explain to him about how you do that sort of thing. -- Tybort (talk page) 21:27, September 1, 2012 (UTC)

Documentary categorization
Yes, I saw how you changed From Avalon to Argolis and tried to do the same with my next edit. I'm still trying to get the hang of categories, there are just so many. Sorry for the trouble! Shambala108 ☎  03:34, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Good to know about the documentary tutorial, I will be watching for it. And thanks for fixing my talk page, it's been bugging me for months, but I didn't know how to fix it. Shambala108 ☎  03:44, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Spotlight Request
Hi. Tardis looks great and I have added it to the approved spotlight list. I'm not sure what is up with the categories on some of those pages that are still being listed as uncategorized...; have you reported it to Special:contact?? Somebody else may have seen it somewhere. -- Wendy (talk ) 04:23, September 5, 2012 (UTC)

Message received and understood

On the date matter - well that makes more sense. Thats how (in my very early days) I started doing them but someone went behind me and split it all up into parts hmmmmm so thats why its been done as it is - sorry was. Consider my templates ammended. Just let me know if you spot me misbehaving again - Im sure you will! BTW glad to see the link to latest news restored on the home page.

Edit box issue
Have you run into this problem? It's something that's been plaguing me for a while, but didn't really get in the way of me editing. Basically I can't click the text anywhere around the custom preload pagename box. Scrolling beyond it works and on really short articles I just push the text down to edit it and then bring it back up once I've finished. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 04:39, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

BACK!
I'm back! 09:43, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

changing publication to anthology
All I'm doing is deleting the word "publication" in the infobox and replacing it with "anthology", that's the only pattern. I think I've done the first twenty or so Short Trips anthologies, but it's a pretty tedious job so if it can be done by the bot I could do something more fun.

Before I started this, I searched several places looking for a reference to put in the edit summary, but couldn't find any; I should have asked you in the first place. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  03:34, September 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was doing them in anthology order, story order, and left off at For the Man Who Has Everything (short story), which is followed by Tell Me You Love Me (short story) and The Cutty Wren (short story). These are all in the anthology Short Trips: The Ghosts of Christmas. Shambala108 ☎  03:57, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your advise, I might give it a try. Cyruptsaram ☎  08:34, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Ok I know I can be stupid but....
Hi CzechOut, RE: the message alerts lol - luv the bat-signal analogy btw. I've got that part! :)

I'm getting the wiki alerts and invites, I'm getting the Game of Rassilon scores, I'm getting ALL that. What I'm NOT getting is alerts to messages left on my talk page - in a bat-signal style blue balloon, or as a notification in the top line of the screen (like appeared in the wiki test you did on muppetwiki) ...but its workable I check more regularly now when I log in and intermitantly. The Librarian ☎  21:59, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm getting 1-4 but NOT 5 (and I know what it now looks like cos I've seen it on muppetwiki :) The Librarian ☎  23:11, September 8, 2012 (UTC)

Video and novelisations queries
Hi ...on a different topic entirely... as well as being busy rescanning some cover pics for a mammoth day uploading (often smaller but also some larger scans), at <100kb, I was wondering ... which is better galleries or tables? The reason is, I'm looking too add more to the 'Home video and audio releases' section of story pages, which would incidently include the DWDVDF releases. IF tables were preferred would there be a problem with a gradual change over?


 * ok showing stupidity again!! Just been exploring the side tabs! Doah! but can you direct me to how to create a related image page. Thanks. The Librarian ☎  01:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

AND ... I seem to have missed the discussion to remove novelisation details/links from story listing pages :( ...even though script books have been retained -even if they are a script not necessarily what was broadcast). Put a lot of work (and still not yet complete), into Target Books even if they are now BBC and was wondering...! The Librarian ☎  00:39, September 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * likewise just found the very discreet link at the top of the info box. Is it the plan to have a separate commercial releases page for each story that would encompass cassettes, VHS's, DVDs, audio soundtracks, recordings and readings?The Librarian ☎  01:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Change "DVD, video and audio releases" and "Home video and audio releases"
When you've got a spare moment, could you do a bot run on these two and change them to "Home media releases"?

I think with 55+ stories on iTunes and as you've noted on the forums how people view what "video" means, I think Media might be a better catch all term. --Tangerineduel / talk 06:44, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

Redirect
The protected page for The Dalek Project should have a (comic story) on the end. It SAYS (comic story), but that's a quirk of TitleComic, it's not actually on that page. -- Tybort (talk page) 20:33, September 10, 2012 (UTC)

Table headers unreadable
The table headers on Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories are white on near-white, which makes them well-nigh invisible & certainly unreadable. The exception is "Released". I assume this is a side effect of allowing sorting on the other columns. Whatever the cause, the colours need to be changed.

Note that the header background briefly shows as blue (sensible) when I first navigate to the page but is replaced by near-white within a second or less.

There may be other tables elsewhere afflicted by the same problem. I've not tried to look for any, so I don't know. --89.240.248.92talk to me 02:23, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Phew - thats sorted then..
Hi, I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding. I've only ever raised the issue of not getting no.5 alerts and thats because I was a bit 'slow' into replying (ie taking note) of some comments (especially if they were threads), 'cos I wasn't made aware they had been posted. Now I know its my fault I'll try harder - heavens knows how you keep on top of things! :) The Librarian ☎  02:35, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
