Stubs and related things
Just wanted to say thanks on the stubs, (I admit that I mainly just copied and adjusted the names from the original stub), and for adding pictures. I was just curious about the alignment of them, the audio one is aligned to the right and the TV one is centred...also I think it might be better for all the stub templates to have a border around them (just to know where the article ends and the box begins and all that. Also while I'm praising I'll also be a bit picky (sorry), minor edits are for, well minor alterations spelling, punctuation that sort of stuff, anything else it isn't a minor edit. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Re: Real world. It's mainly articles that don't have a lot of content Jasmine Breaks for example, the template sort of hovers over the external links header. In the Doctor Who theme page it doesn't really matter because there's enough content to push everything down, but a lot of the real world pages are lacking in content. --Tangerineduel 16:30, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Monobook. --Tangerineduel 16:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Well...That's a good enough argument. But there are (I think) a lot more articles with not a lot, and plenty which I'm sure that'll stay that way for a long while (articles such as Tony Imi, Charles Parnell and Norman Greaves). (Sorry, not much in terms of an alternative the whole coding thing isn't quite my forte) --Tangerineduel 16:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I was going to say, (when you got to this edit), it's good, about as good as we're going to get (that works across all skins). It might give some people the nudge to fill in the articles that are just one line. It's certainly better than some permutations (the centre aligned one was perhaps not the best). --Tangerineduel 17:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)--Tangerineduel 17:29, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

MagnifiedMaster.jpg
Ah, sorry about that, I do remember looking at the page. I deleted either by mistake or that I thought it was a faked image, sorry about that. --Tangerineduel 07:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Going overboard
ok Skirmish at Tranquil Repose wasn't needed but articles such as these other ones are still a vital part of the wiki whether they have names or not other wise we have articles on charcters, technology and the like but not the evens that they appeared in Dark Lord Xander 09:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I created Skirmish as Tranquil repose and Battle on the Dalek Saucer as they are key points in there respective stories and have a place on the wiki wheater or not you think so.--Skittles the hog 12:07, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Why are you deleting battle pages
All of the battles that have happened in the doctor who universe why are you deleting them. They tell people about all the wars and battles the doctor has been in. I just want to know why you are doing this (Catkind121 29 July 13:31.

Gisella ! Opps!!
Thanks for the heads up on that one! Been away for a bit...got some tidying up to do I think. Didn't even think anyone would notice yet lol. I wanted to read on before developing this (short) entry - opps a spoiler. Anyway its on my list thanks again! The Librarian 21:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Spiral nebula
Yikes! I didn't realize you were in the middle of article work on spiral nebula (and an apparent edit situation with an anonymous IP) when I dropped in to switch the tense on a word. Apologies if that created an edit conflict at your end. 23skidoo 23:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

TDL
Hi! The MAIN content of the TDL website reinforces the text in the book, segments are re-presented as bite size snippets and the games tend to progress and follow the books overall storyline. Any new material, so far, seems to be in the visuals which are unlocked as you go through (eg wallpapers) which I've included in this wiki with links to the appropriate download site. A further wallpaper for each title is now being offered following a link given in the Doctor Who Adventures magazine with each new release (which Ive also included. The site has some other content background to authors and the like, but there is nothing substantial (eg authors favourite monster and Doctor etc.) bearing in mind the target age group (I'm doing it purely for research purposes of course, you understand!! -says me smiling to myself! Damn those games can be frustrating!!!). As its an ongoing work in progress, Im trying to avoid spoiling it by, waiting for a new book to be released before reporting on the previous title and as I develop the coverage other articles will be expanded. I know it looks clumsy but some of the articles, I am aware, are simply a series of 'notes so far' (perhaps I should ensure these pages are stubbed). Hope this helps towards answering your question.The Librarian 11:42, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Easter Eggs
Just wondered, any thoughts on how best to cover these, all on one page or tied to DVD releases - Im sure you have given it some thoought! Let me know The Librarian 01:35, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Marnal
Hi, I was just wondering if you had read EDA: The Gallifrey Chronicles. If you have, could you take a look at the Marnal article? Most of it was written by me, but I haven't actually read the novel and got my information from the Internet. I just wanted to see if anyone who has actually read the book could confirm the information in the article. Thanks.--The Traveller 12:00, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Invasion Animation
The Restoration Team on their forum and at OG repeatedly pointed out that the episodes had been commissioned and (more importantly for future animations at the time) *paid for* by BBCi. For reasons I can't recall, the episodes didn't end up on the website and were essentially lying around. 2entertain paid some money to have the right to release them on DVD, but otherwise was not involved. Steve Roberts at the time of the DVD said that a DW DVD budget wouldn't stretch to paying for such animation and is why (at the time) the RT considered the animations a one-off. Going by some recent rumours that may no longer be the case.Gallicus 02:31, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Comic strip infobox!
Wow! You have been busy! I like the completist nature of the new look. A big well done! Battles in Time has just (at last) finished and I was planning on revisiting each page again anyway so Ill finish off the last few then work back through them if thats ok. Just so you dont get alarmed and think Im ignoring your work. Well done again. Im going to assume that the online release is ok to include in 'publication' The Librarian 22:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, two immediately spring to mind, the exclusive (but unnamed) online Torchwood comic strip and the entire Battles in Time Strip Series available to online subscribers of the Doctor Who DVD Files for those who didnt want to buy the magazine AND the DVD. The Librarian 22:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)


 * All I've repeatedly asked for is to consider the usability functions of the infobox the ability of a casual reader to use and read through the infobox, you've really addressed this section of my request, you've said that it improves the overall flow and editability of the infobox but I've said that it comprimises the usability. Doctor Who is complicated and I feel that simplifying it down to an arrow is over simplifying its understandability. You've also said that we're at an impasse. To resolve this as we both think we're correct I thought it was a logical step to try and involve someone else. I am really sorry and didn't mean for it to come across this way. (I'm just very worried about this issue that's all and the discussion has felt very two sided with no one else really involved) --Tangerineduel 16:46, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You are right, I shouldn't have put it up into the forum. I'm sorry about this. It's just I really am worried about it, really (if I could begin to fathom how to edit the infobox I'd give it a go myself), but I can't which is why I'm being so annoying with you. The reason I put it up was I am very, very worried about it, I hate MemoryAlpha's interface it's very much too minimal and it really worries me that we're going to be affecting the usability of the site with the arrows. --Tangerineduel 17:01, 29 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I guess I should explain something of the reason why I'm so worried about the user interface over how it looks, I volunteer assisting people with limited dexterity / mobility using touchscreen systems (and obviously use them myself when doing this) and with many of the systems it's quite hard to 'mouseover' just by the way the systems handle the touch systems (not all, some you can almost, frustratingly can almost mouseover). I know this is about making it better but I'm just concerned especially with the proliferation of various other touch based forms of web navigation like the iPhone we're going leading this up a navigation dead end and I keep looking at it and thinking that we're loosing a lot to gain something. --Tangerineduel 06:31, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi CzechOut, a big favour to ask. If you get a moment (I know you've busy :) ) but could you cast an eye over the infobox for the first BIT strip Growing Terror, make the changes then, as I revisit them I can tidy the box a bit. When I started the pages, I was new, thought it would be a short run and made some 'now' obvious mistakes which I had every intention of revisiting. The Librarian 01:30, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:Spiral nebula
Its really bad to saying "you're editing the hell out of it". LMAO, this IP adress belongs to a library, though I don't recall doing anything about Spiral nebula and such (mainly because I'm just a kid who didn't do such of that (aka a kid younger then 13), you should ban me 0_o (Saying this to be a pain in the word) --204.167.92.26 16:30, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Amy
I don't think that "Amy" should be moved to "Amy (Key 2 Time)" because she's the only Amy character only known by that name -- all the other Amy characters have last names. Therefore I state that "Amy" should be for that companion, and "Amy (disambiguation)" for the list of other named characters. Doug86 16:17, January 6, 2010 (UTC)

Categories - Thanks
Thanks for sorting out the categories, it's something I've often looked at, but never really had enough motivation to work out what went where and whatever. --Tangerineduel 14:38, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * I do notice a majority of things around here...I just often don't say anything (or on many occasions with new editors experience the sensation of slamming my head against the desk).
 * There isn't a way to move categories (that I'm aware of), as I've been through the lengthy mind-numbing process of changing category names and the articles associated with them also.
 * As for deleting cats, just slap a prop delete and I (or another admin) will get to it in due course. --Tangerineduel 15:09, February 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yep, a category can be deleted even if there's stuff in the category. The stuff in the category still exists but it doesn't exist within any structure.
 * What I mean is, you could put 2 things in Cat:X, and it would be a red category link, click on that link and you find those two within a category, but you still need to hit 'save page' to make it an actual category (if this makes sense). --Tangerineduel 13:05, February 6, 2010 (UTC)

German woman
Sound argument, reverted, moved back to what you had it as. --Tangerineduel 07:05, February 8, 2010 (UTC)

K9 screenshot
Perhaps that possibly wasn't the way to go.

Perhaps it would have been better, rather than making the screenshot template more exact, making it more encompassing.

Your changes to the screenshot infobox kinda mean nesseciate going through the screenshot category to look for all things which aren't the BBC's. The wording in the previous edit of the screenshot template contained the words "and/or its original author(s). ", which covered other screenshots from spin-offs, which the BBC don't have ownership over.

I think it might be better to either create a screenshot template for the BBC specifically something like BBCscreenshot (much like the Template:bbcbookcover and Template:Bbcaudiocover templates) that can be applied to the BBC's screenshots (then we can go through and add it to all images manually, a boring though not hard job, I've done it several times). Or alternatively broaden out the screenshot template to encompass everything. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 08:10, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Navigation sidebar
Yes. That's simple to add.

Where should I put the behind the scenes section (and just call it behind the scenes?), under Stories? I or one of the other admins need to do it as it's part of the mediawiki. Tell me how you want it, what should link off and I'll get it put in. --Tangerineduel 06:56, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
