If you want to talk about ''anything'' else, your best bet is to start a new thread in [[forum:index|one of our forums]].
 
* Questions about editing, policy or wiki organisation are best laid before [[forum:Panopticon|the Panopticon]].
 
* Questions about a single narrative or behind-the-scenes point — where that answer is likely a known '''fact''', like "Who played <role> in <story>?" or "In which issues of DWM will you '''not''' find comics?" — are best put to the [[forum:reference desk|reference desk]]
 
* If you want to speculate about future episodes, and don't mind being [[tardis:spoiler policy|spoiled]], go to [[howling:the Howling|the Howling]].

== False Randomiser ==
 
 
</div>
 
The randomiser is fake. It only shows a Spearhead from Space (Doctor Who), the Middle Men (Torchwood), The Nightmare Man (SJA) And one that I've forgotten the name of (K9TV). I reloaded the page and it still showed those four. Get it sorted out. [[Special:Contributions/94.9.14.99|94.9.14.99]]<sup>[[User talk:94.9.14.99#top|talk to me]]</sup> 18:15, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I noticed that I was wrong. Sorry about that. [[Special:Contributions/94.9.14.99|94.9.14.99]]<sup>[[User talk:94.9.14.99#top|talk to me]]</sup> 20:36, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
== In Other Languages Section ==
 
I looked through this section and I found that one of the Wiki's listed has never been created and another has been deleted. Also the German Doctor Who Wiki has surpassed 10 pages and needs to be moved across to the other list. I think that the section should be changed so that it no longer consists of two separate lists of Wiki's. Thanks, [[User:Ryan0ry|Ryan0ry]] <sup>[[User talk:Ryan0ry|talk to me]]</sup> 20:53, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
 
:It helps with the formatting of the page to have the two sections. The fact of having to occasionally move them around manually alerts us when wikis are growing. I think you'll find that the actual German wiki — that is, the one at [[w:c:de.doctorwho]] — hasn't actually grown. You may be talking about what the following poster is referring to. The threshold on being in that section was originally 25 articles. I think the wording may have been tampered with, maybe even by me! I'll fix that wording. Point is, though, that the "main" German site has been stuck at 21 articles for literally years. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">20:47: Fri&nbsp;27 Jul 2012&nbsp;</span>
 
 
Hi, there is a new german who-wiki with 692 articles: http://de.doctorwhotorchwood.wikia.com/wiki/Doctor_Who_Torchwood_Wiki , greetings,--[[User:Scott Eccles|Scott Eccles]] <sup>[[User talk:Scott Eccles|talk to me]]</sup> 22:45, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
 
 
::Due to the technical intricacies of [[T:ILL|interlanguage linkage]], we can only support one wiki per language. When we make a link like {{tt|<nowiki>[[de:Doctor Who]]</nowiki>}}, it will go to [[w:c:de.doctorwho:Doctor Who]]. It '''cannot''' go to [[w:c:de.doctorwhotorchwood:Doctor Who]]. You '''must''' move to [[w:c:de.doctorwho]] for us to be able to feature you on our main page — but more importantly, for us to actually make easy links to your wiki.
 
 
::Since <tt>w:c:<language code>:doctorwho</tt> is the standard nomenclature for Doctor Who wikis at Wikia (yes, even ''this'' wiki is ''actually'' [[w:c:doctorwho]]), we can't support wikis that have another nomenclature.
 
 
::If you want your wiki linked with us, please allow us to work with Wikia to merge [[w:c:de.doctorwhotorchwood]] with the now-dead [[w:c:de.doctorwho]]. It's important that we approach things this way, because there are ''many'' links all across Wikia to the handful of articles at the present form of [[w:c:de.doctorwho]].
 
 
::Please let me know whether I can start working with Wikia to accomplish that move, and you'll soon be the "main" German ''Doctor Who'' wiki at Wikia! {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">20:45: Fri&nbsp;27 Jul 2012&nbsp;</span>

Due to widespread misunderstanding about the purpose of this page, it is now locked. This was supposed to be a page where people discussed the editing of the page Doctor Who Wiki — i.e. our main page. Perhaps understandably, though, people used it to discuss "the Doctor Who Wiki" in general.
