Blu-rays/Laserdiscs/Cassettes
Hello. Hope you had a merry cristmas and a happy new year. Did you enjoy the special?

I have been thinking for sometime (month or so), about the Blu-ray DW/SJA/TW/whatever else releases. Should they have their own page - Blu-rays? And/Or their own template? -- *Peace* I'm Thinking  of  Linking  16:43, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Alright, I'll start work on them, tomorrow. Gonna go for the last home run, finishing off the "Items released in...". -- *Peace* I'm Thinking  of  Linking  19:47, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Will Cassettes and/or Laserdiscs, get their own pages?

I don't feel LD should, as there's not many released. What do you think? -- *Peace* I'm Thinking  of  Linking  18:41, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hey T - 63! I'm back. You're going to see me on here a lot lately, picking up where I left off on my Monster Invasion project. So, what have I missed? Dynovan | Let's Talk | New Year, New Blogs 18:04, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, that's cool. Have you read my new blog? Dynovan | Let's Talk | New Year, New Blogs 09:59, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

new templates
I like the new template pages we're using. However, I did have a question. Once you're on one of the new template pages, say on a DVD, is the only way to get to another part of the Wiki (aside from using one of the links on the page related to the item you're watching) to click on "back"? RAIDERCLEM 03:17, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

OK thanks. RAIDERCLEM 21:58, February 1, 2012 (UTC)

con news
Hi Tardis1963, How ya been? I was wondering if news for upcoming cons was appropriate for the home page? Or maybe somewhere else? RAIDERCLEM 10:23, February 13, 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you like The Silent Stars Go By page that I have made. Is it in the style of DWCW? I am thinking of making a page of Magic of the Angels as well.

Name change
A while back I separated the Template:IDW Classic Comics into 2 parts and renamed the original template IDW Classic Comics - Part 1. Upon further consideration I don't feel this template needs to be in 2 parts and have combined the 2 templates. However, I can't move the template back to it's original name (w/out the Part 1), because the original page still exists and I'm also not able to undo my revision that changed the name in the first place for some reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, RAIDERCLEM 00:51, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yep, that was it - Thanks oh Great One! RAIDERCLEM 02:08, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Taking a break
Just to let you know i'm taking a short break from the wiki at the moment to catch up with life itself, if you know what i mean, so i'll only be editing on some weekends until april ish, when i'm on holiday and i'll have plenty of time:D

Hi
Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering how to create template pages (update old pages). Lego Whovian 20:26, March 5, 2012 (UTC

OK. I understand everything, except Step 1. Do I simply create a page called Template:DVD box/FiveDoctorsSE/UK? Or something else? -Lego Whovian 21:22, March 13, 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I get it. I just managed to update Loving the Alien to the new style. If you do not want me to update more pages to the new style, just say so. But, I would be happy to do some more, if you don't mind. Lego Whovian 12:57, March 23, 2012 (UTC)

Guidelines
Hello T63. Long time no chat, how have u been? Could I have ur opinion on guidelines I've created? -- *Peace* I'm Thinking  of  Linking  20:53, March 7, 2012 (UTC)

Ad
Wow, it's too bad you had to put that huge ad on the home page, but I know you gotta pay the bills. Kinda like a permanent pop-up. Anyway we can block it? RAIDERCLEM 10:53, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Comic book templates
Hi Gary, I see you've started on the comic book template boxes and that you are changing the titles on the images. I'll be glad to help but you would have to make me an admin. to change the image titles, delete the old pages etc, correct? Fine w/me if it's fine w/you, just LMK. RAIDERCLEM 00:35, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

OK will do but please do me a favor if you would. Please don't delete the old image from the cascade page until the new one is complete. That way I don't have to sort through my collection to find writer/artist info etc. Thanks RAIDERCLEM 18:36, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

Am confused - What is causing that to appear on the Classics: The Seventh Doctor - Issue 5 page? I can't seem to get rid of it. Also, anyway I can add "Part 1", "Part 2" etc. to story titles? Thanks, RAIDERCLEM 17:24, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

One more thing - How can I keep the "(comic strip)" from showing on Planet of the Dead (comic strip) on the Classics: The Seventh Doctor - Issue 4 page and still have it link to the strip rather than the episode? If you would show me one example I could take care of it on other pages. Thanks again, pesky RAIDERCLEM 21:40, March 31, 2012 (UTC) P.S. the is showing up on this page too.

And shows up on Classics: The Seventh Doctor - Issue 2 RAIDERCLEM 03:43, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Also I did Template:IDW Doctor Who for the new series comics. I figured I'd add issues to it as they come out rather than put them on the old template. Please look it over and see if you like it before I start building on it. Thanks again, RAIDERCLEM 19:05, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Wow I'm really asking a lot of questions here! On Classics: Series 2 - Issue 13 the is showing up here, but my main questions concern the Variant covers. Can we title them as 'Variant covers' rather than 'other images' for the comic books? Maybe even make them larger? Thanks again, RAIDERCLEM 01:52, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Comic book templates pt. 2
Oh yeah I really like the idea of using tabs for the variant covers much more than the "other images" section! I do have most of the 'Classics' pages done, just a few left in Series 1. When I'm done with those I'll start on the IDW New Series strips. Did you like the template I set up for the New Series strips? Much more complicated to figure out than the Classics. Whereas the Classics are all in chronological order by release date, the NS releases have been staggered, with one-shots as well as (so far) one 4-issue series (A Fairytale Life) being released in the middle of the 'Ongoing' run. Thanks! RAIDERCLEM 01:25, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I've got my new computer now so i'l be able to edit the wiki again:D Are you now working on the toy pages? T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 10:16, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I can handle it now if you want, as i finally have a computer that works. Shall i remake the previous pages to match the new ones? T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 10:26, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Okedoke i'll get to work ASAP T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 10:30, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

no they don't. and the toy page it self now just looks stupid without trhe info. And my categories have worked fine for two years, so can you please stop editing them and just let me get on with it, no offence but i can handle it fine on my own T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 10:35, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

no it didn't, it looked fine and there as nothing wrong or immature. The only reasons there were spelling problems was becuase my old keyboard was rubbish and miss-typed everything. I don't really give a damn about ebay that's what they do, they're an auction site not a wiki, the categories worked fine and made it easier to find a type of figure if it's all in one category it's hard to find a classic or new series one. I've been doing the toys for 2 years now and not one person has said ANYTHING like this which leads me to believe it is fine and nothing wrong. So if you'l just let me get on with what i've been doing my whole time here maybe i can actually make it decent T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 10:47, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'm not putting al sorts of doctor who stuff, it works fine for collectors to keep track of it. Looking through more categories is not harder, it's not like i had 100s of them, just 1 or 2. Yes looking on the respected toy pages works well i understand that, but i fail to see what the major problem with the categories are, i've worked with two people on this project, they both thought the categories were fine. No it doesn't, it hepls to identify if you can get the figure anywhere, or if you have a collectors item that is exclsuive. I'll let you re-write the info page by all means, and there is nothing wrong with my english thank you, it's my stupid old keyboard. Can you just please let me get on with what i'm best at, i don't want some massive argument i just want to work. T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:06, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

P.S: Let me handle the templates, that's what i'm doing right now T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:06, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

no they shouldn't they should go in seperate templates so they know if they're going to find a boxset or single/double figure packs. Look just leave the template pages alone for now and let me finish them before you tinker with them please.

I can understand where you are coming from about the working, and i made the doctor who toys category not you. I'll take thjem out of the pages myself for now can you just leave the toys pages alone and let me get on with them, PLEASE T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:14, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

And i'd appreciate it if you ask me before going off and doing something major to the WHOLE organisation i had of everything. It's not a box set. For my information i use a doctor who toys website, which organises everythign quite well into series figures and boxsets. A box set is 3+ figures in any packaging. Saying it's in a box is a naive view point, just because it's in a box does not make it a 'boxset', it just means it's in some secure packaging. T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:21, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

No, personally for me that makes it harder, if i have a box set i want a template wich shows all box sets, it works well and is not complicated at all, if i can understand it anyone can really T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:28, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

No, to you there may be no difference, but to someone who's been collecting them for as long as i have there an obvious one, and there is a big enough range. Who gives you the right to make a snap decision like that, this wiki is a community not one dictator, ruling everyone, considering you've not really paid any attention to the toys since i started i don't thinky uo should just decide like that.T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:38, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

That's stupid. Do you know lots about the toys, I doubt it, have you worked on the toy pages long, not as long as me, as far as i can see you have not got the right experience in the particular sector of the wiki to make a decision like that. And before you say it, i know you've been on this wiki a lot longer than me, done more things and do everything else, but this isn't dvds or books where you work all the time, you've no experince in the toy sector of this wikiT-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:46, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

oh you've learnt some information about them have you, well that's makes it all fine, it's not like you've been collecting them for years, and yes there is, CO market them as box sets half the time aswell T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:50, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

there is NOTHING wrong with the way it, let's save us both time and leave it alone, stop this argument and let me finish it they way i'm doing and we'll see how it works ok? T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:54, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

just leave it. it'll save us both time no one has complained and we can both get on with what we do you everything else me toys, and we can all be happy, i now agree with what you say about the categories, and i'm happy to let you re-wrte the info page, but just leave the templates alone that's all i'm sayingT-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 12:00, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

it is a correct way, everyone apart from you is happy with it if the single series have boxsets then i fail to see why classics need to have one big fat complicted template. Look i have a life to live i'm not going to bother to argue with you anymore, so long as the tenplates are left alone while i'm doing them i'll be happy for now, is that ok? T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 12:09, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

that's fine by me, also once they're done maybe we can properlly assess what the wiki as a whole would prefer to happen? T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 12:18, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

great, if the most of this wiki think it would be better for the classics to be one whole template then i will do that, i'm glad we came to an agreement:) T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 14:37, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

and more comic book templates!
Thanks for fixing the. is still showing up tho on both the regular cover and RI templates. (Classics: Series 2 - Issue 4 & Classics: The Seventh Doctor - Issue 2) RAIDERCLEM 21:48, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

Jigsaw Puzzles
Hi. I was wondering if I could create pages of the Doctor Who jigsaw puzzles in my collection. They are Dr Who, collectable and there is a lot of them if you look on ebay; so they should be just right for this wiki. -Lego Whovian 10:35, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hi Tardis1963. I hope you like the Jigsaw Puzzles page that I've made. I thought it would be easier if they were all on one page instead of separate pages. Also, please could I have a little help here. Lego Whovian 13:08, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

I see you've been updating the pages with the new layout, i was just wandering if the information about the toy, like articulation and bio will be added again or is it now being ditched? T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 10:46, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

fair enough, i'll just stick to the bios that are on the back then. Personally i would prefer a actual image, as the prototypes can sometimes be quite differnet from the final product, but in terms of just demonstrating what it roughly looks like it's fine T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:54, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

the images you have put are the prototypes, they just call them 'promotional' When you go back to say 2008 the images of the figures like that don't have articulation most of the time and look nothing like the final product T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 11:58, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

most of teh time they're not, sometimes they are, but of the ones i've got there are differnces take this one : http://dyn2.media.forbiddenplanet.com/products/161026000.jpg.size-300_maxheight-300_square-true.jpg

Notice no articulation and the face sculpt is generally more detailed in these images. sometimes an accessorie is pictured, and it doesn't even come with it like this one

never came ith the sonic T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 12:03, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

that's why i didn't do it on the old style pages, it's hard to find ones with just a plain background with everythign there, but as you say we'll just have to try our best T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 12:15, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Generally i prefer white, you may have noticed i've tried to get a white background for the packaging. But aslong as it's plain it should do T-2010 | Talk to Me | The one, the only - “You realize this plan has me walking into hell too? Hah, just like old times….” 12:20, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Boxset Templates
Hey T - 63. I've been looking around the pages, and I think that T - Man's boxset templates organise the toy pages more effectively than what is going to replace them. Please keep T - Man in charge of these pages and let him organise the templates the way he wants to. Thanks. Dynovan | Let's Talk | Titanic - 100 Years below the waves 18:55, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

I've not really been watching this issue, but I just feel that T - Man is an experienced wiki editor (I'm not saying that you aren't) and that he should choose how to organise the toy templates. Dynovan | Let's Talk | Titanic - 100 Years below the waves 08:31, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

In that, do you mean that you're going to make these pages 'compatible' with the rest of the wiki? Dynovan | Let's Talk | Titanic - 100 Years below the waves 08:50, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Dynovan | Let's Talk | Titanic - 100 Years below the waves 09:05, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
