New TARDIS Data Core page: Insurgent
Hi Shambala108,

Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that I've created the page Insurgent for TARDIS Data Core.

I'd be grateful if you and the other caretakers could take a look when you get a spare moment, and make any changes you consider necessary.

Many thanks. -- Freddie R. Aldous ☎  12:17, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

Could you clear something up for me?
Hi there, I appear to have been blocked across both the English and Welsh Doctor Who Wikis for 'vandalism'. I'm not sure how anything I have done can be construed as vandalism. Moreover, what makes the whole situation more confusing, is that I've neither received a warning nor an explanation nor the opportunity to have a dialogue with those who blocked me. I've logged it in as an issue with the official Wiki people but was wondering whether you could enlighten me as to who did it and for what reason exactly. For the past five-ish years, I've done nothing but help this Wiki grow stronger. And for the past couple of months, I've been putting a lot of time into making the Wiki correct and also helping the Welsh Wiki grow from twenty pages to a hundred and twenty. I'm providing new and interesting texts for young Welsh people and learners, something which is definitely lacking where that minority language is concerned and to have all my time and effort rewarded with a block is insulting. Please could you help me by providing me with more information? And maybe report back how angry I am with the matter. The lack of communication is unreal and ridiculous. Imagine you getting blocked overnight with no idea what happened and with no-one telling you why? Thank you for your time and help, 19:38, June 7, 2015 (UTC) (It won't let me sign. I'm "thefartydoctor".)
 * Is it possible that you blocked me instead of User:Duncs_Kinnear-swift who had vandalised an infobox moments after my edit. I checked his page and you had left him another warning. Could this be the case? And maybe the ban on the Welsh Wiki was because my edit was adding a Welsh language link to the article? :/ The  Farty  Doctor   Talk  19:47, June 7, 2015 (UTC) (thefartydoctor)
 * It seems I'm no longer blocked. I can't say I understand what happened but I'm glad it's over. Thanks for all your help and I'll let you know if anything weird happens again. The  Farty  Doctor   Talk  20:17, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Insurgent
Hi Shambala108,

It wasn't until long after I had created the page Insurgent for TARDIS Data Core that I realized I should have called it 'Insurgent (The Dalek Invasion of Earth)' to differentiate between any other 'Insurgent' characters who may appear in Doctor Who in the future, and also to allow for an 'Insurgent' disambiguation page to be created at a later date.

I would be grateful if you and the other caretakers could look into changing the page title accordingly, and apologize for any inconvenience caused. I'll be more careful in future.

I await your reply with great interest. -- Freddie R. Aldous ☎  10:25, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Series 9 page
Yes, I know the rules about spoilers, and it was a mistake, and I'm sorry about that. I didn't think about the fact that it would also show up on the "Wiki Activity" page. --DCLM ☎  13:17, June 11, 2015 (UTC)

Bernice Summerfield Video
Hi Shambala108,

Didn't know/forgot that only admins can upload videos, is it possible for you to upload the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qIUMVFM7pY&feature=youtu.be as it shows the recent Bernice Summerfield, and it is from the official Big Finish youtube page, so it should violate the other rules as far as I know.

Thanks I have done what you have said. Once you have uploaded I will place it back on the page again. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 10:13, June 12, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Moving pages
Sorry about that. I was honestly just trying to be helpful, as it had been over two weeks since you acknowledged the move request. If we're not allowed to move pages, you should be able to block it from happening - I noticed that you can't move pages on w:c:marvel. I don't know if it's a setting somewhere or if you need to ask Wikia, but it's definitely possible.

Connecting a language link
Just a teeny request to link your BFX page to the Welsh version using the code 'cy'. The page is entitled exactly the same. Thank you very much. (Link: http://cy.doctorwho.wikia.com/wiki/BFX )
 * The Farty  Doctor   Talk  00:12, June 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * You're right, you did do it. I just assumed the request got lost in the Wiki Activity. :P The link works perfectly. Thanks very much!

Hi, I recently created a page for Salo Gardner for his appearance in Terminus. I'm not quite sure what to put as the source, as I can only confirm that he was in the story, after meeting him last week and talking to him about filming the story, can you help?

Many thanks,

Re-Tenth Doctor
I'll go back over it and add any citations that I missed, but I mostly did add references in the edits. Sorry about the mistake though. The Fox King (talk) 05:32, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

I have now re-edited the article and added a reference that I missed. How do you think of it now? The Fox King (talk) 05:45, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

Renaming pages
There are many characters which are unnamed in the SJA television series but are named in the novelisation. Of some characters first or last names are missing in the TV series which are mentioned in the novelisations. Forexample Cashier (Warriors of Kudlak) is named "Pam" in the novelisation and Randall (Eye of the Gorgon) is named "Edith Randall". Can I add a rename tag to these pages (+ there are several more)? If so: is it easyer for you if I use the Special:WhatLinksHere to move the links or should I just add the rename tag to the pages and let you change the links? Thanks for your help! --Dynara ☎  06:32, June 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * Okay then I'll just add the additional information from the novels and wait with rest until you can tell me more. Anyway thanks a lot for your help! You do a lot for this wikia and have already helped me a lot in the past. I really appreciate that. Thanks. --Dynara ☎  14:14, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

Fox King
As much as it pains me to say this, especially when I started out in similar way, but I think the Fox King needs to be blocked on ground of repeated acts of vandalism by adding speculation to canon material, continuously not italicizing story links, and adding links that do not match up to sentences on the Tenth Doctor page.BananaClownMan ☎  12:31, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

Novelisations and naming
Best naming practices are defined on this wiki by the intersection of T:VS and T:CHAR NAMES. That means that a more detailed name given in a novelisation is allowed within the body of an article – so long as the novelised name doesn't contradict the televised one — but that the title of the article should remain at the most recognisable televised name.

(And when "most recognisable" is debatable, then we usually hold a forum discussion to make a determination, as in the most infamous case, "Is it K9 or K-9?")

This isn't just an arbitrary thing that's been worked out. It's actually good SEO. Articles should be named in such a way that people can actually find them. In the example given from the SJA novelisation, Cashier (Warriors of Kudlak) is better for Google because that's a name people will be looking for. That is, they're far more likely to type into Google "the cashier from Warriors of Kudlak", or even "cashier Kudlak", than they are "Pam from Warriors of Kudlak". And both "cashier" variants put us at the top of the list — higher even than Wikipedia.

That said, I get that this is one of those things that non-DW fans will just think us mad to be spending time on. Heck even most DW fans might be thinking that this sort of detailed argument is one of the reasons that DW fans tend to get a bad reputation. But their fandom is likely expressed in ways where SEO is of minor concern. For us, it's the whole ballgame. We've got to do everything we possibly can to make it to the top of that search results list.

So, to sum up:
 * article name: Cashier (Warriors of Kudlak)
 * first line of article:   21:16: Sun 21 Jun 2015
 * See also Talk:Miranda (Doctor Who).  21:20: Sun 21 Jun 2015

Hi. The encounter that Wrightson has with Nemesis is in the book Human Nature. She just isn't named.
