Wales crew
Interesting template, could I ask for a small change, just to keep things consistent across all pages? Instead of a colon can it be a hyphen between the title and person? I didn't want to go changing things on it in case you were still mucking around with it. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 06:41, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I do feel kinda strongly that they're hyphens rather than colons.
 * It's not completely about following a standard, it's more that the colons are more used in citing sources on pages and when looking through the page it's one of those things that you see connected with that sort of thing, and I'd really prefer it to be hyphens so the cast and crew listing are marked out when looking at them as their own defined thing. Nothing else on the wiki uses X - X except the cast/crew listings and I'd prefer to keep that visual difference intact. --Tangerineduel 13:39, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Just noticed looking on the Victory of the Daleks page that Andrew Gunn's name isn't linking within the template. Hopefully it's only a small issue. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 17:13, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Reflist
Hey, I've fixed the errors in the reflist template (which seemed to function fine without actually existing). But anyways the issue as I saw you can see in the changes I've made (I removed your stuff about saying it wasn't working) but feel free to put whatever back in.

Anyways the issue was that while you named the references (which you'd do to use the references multiple times in the same article), you didn't cite anything as the reference which needs to be done the first time the ref name thing is used. So when the the reflist came to assemble all the references in the reflist it hit errors because there wasn't anything to cite. Hope this helps. --Tangerineduel 14:43, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Cite
I sent a message off to wikia central and was told that they'll be upgrading the extensions when they upgrade the MediaWiki software, which should be coming in the next few weeks. As soon as the developers release MediaWiki 1.16 Wikia will also be upgrading everything else along with it. --Tangerineduel 05:41, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Bot and Captcha
The short answer is...I'm not sure, not sure what setting have been changed or altered. It's nothing I have specifically changed.

Having a quick look around the wikia central forums brings up a range of things it could be.

One thing to note, your bot doesn't appear as a listed bot see Special:ListUsers/bot, I did look into changing your bot's user rights, but that option is locked to me (admin's aren't totally all powerful).

All I can really suggest is head to the Wiki central forums and if that doesn't help go for the Contact wikia staff link. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. --Tangerineduel 16:55, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Timeline template
Just to be clear - as long as I don't go around creating new pages and using HTML coding I'm OK in editing the pages, meaning I can add/update new items? Or are you requesting the pages not be updated at all? No biggie with earlier years, but things are moving pretty rapidly with regards to 2010, obviously. 23skidoo 22:04, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool. I'm not planning to add any new years anytime soon, anyway! 23skidoo 22:31, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Rice University
Best to check the 'what links here' before wiping out a redirect. (Though I'm not sure why a university's name should be funny?). I change the only linking article to the correct page and deleted the redirect. --Tangerineduel 15:26, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting Timelines
I agree 2016 should be deleted for now. But will doing so mess up your bot or the template? 23skidoo 03:31, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll go ahead and knock down 2016. It'll be a couple years at least before we're likely get anything real-world related to put there (I suppose I could put the 10th anniversary of Torchwood on there, but that's stretching it). 23skidoo 03:45, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

2014
What lead sentence? All I saw was a single item. That's not a lead. I take extreme exception of being accused of subverting anyone's efforts. I expect an apology. No, I demand one. No one asked me for my opinion on this - I didn't even know the discussion was underway. All I thought was going on was some stuff about a template. This is the same sort of crap that made me tell Wikipedia to go to hell. In fact, you guys can have fun. I've got better things to do with my time. 23skidoo 03:52, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Wikipediainfo included
Is it a good idea to have the wikipediainfo included in the template?

Do we need the wikipediainfo template for years 2000 to 1990? I can understand for televised Doctor Who world events giving the production years context and all, but did 1990-2000 mostly prose years are they all relevant? --Tangerineduel 14:29, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
