I'm Back + Admin
Hi, I thought I'd just let you know I've returned to the Wiki, sorry I was gone, my comp didn't like the new layout! Oh also, I was wandering, do you think you could make me an admin? TARDIS2010 09:07, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

I completely understand, thanks for replying! Hope you had a great Xmas, and a Happy New Year! TARDIS2010 08:08, January 1, 2011 (UTC)

...is a dead Dalek
Hello Tardis 1963, Got The Only Good Dalek fixed, thanks. Glad to see you're back, I was getting worried about you, thought you might have been sucked into the Void or something! Have a Happy New Year! RAIDERCLEM 03:26, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Main Page problems
How come when ever I edit the main page, the 'Recently Added Items' box, starts to brake up? (i.e. Brake up with the 3 collums to one) >.< & When u edit it, it seems just fine. Also, How do u make a 'Talk Archive'? *Peace* Yeepsi 16:51, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I tried your way of editing the Main PAge, & still no luck >.< *Peace* Yeepsi 19:38, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

New category ideas
Y'know, we have audio readings of novel's, & we also have soundtracks from actual episodes made on the original broadcast for example, The Daleks' Master Plan, and The Mind of Evil...... So, my idea is a category for the soundtracks of episodes, say Soundtrack CDs, u agree, yes, no? *Peace* Yeepsi 17:33, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

More ideas: I look forward to, ur wisedom (advice), my Fearless Leader (<- Raider's nickname for you). *Peace* Yeepsi 18:01, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * BF 'Lost Stories', unless there already is, & I'm just not searching hard enough
 * Short Trips CDs
 * New Series Adventures CDs (see 1st bullet point)

Uh, knowing humor may be different in different countries, just wanted to be sure you realize that calling someone "Fearless Leader" in the US is a humorous term not implying anything negative or any simiarity to the character from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show... RAIDERCLEM 19:16, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad, you agree, with most of my suggestions. One thing on the agenda, springs to mind, there's no NS CDs, (novel readings, say for example, The Resurrection Casket) so it looks like I have to make all the NS CD Novel readings! >.< *Peace* Yeepsi 16:03, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

I might as well do it. Atleast there's another project to go on the Project page. *Peace* Yeepsi 09:56, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

List of Target books - wrong order!
I can't help but notice tht the Target list, is completely mixed up. For example, Exciting Adventure is listed as No. 1, but, on Official List of Who novelisations it's listed as Doctor Who and the Daleks, and it's No. 16. My question is, Why is our list so mixed up? *Peace* Yeepsi 13:18, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, tht makes sense... Also, morning (I think), over there. It's 20 to 10 PM, over here. *Peace* Yeepsi 21:43, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Speaking of lists.....
While, I was on my way to make a Bernice Summerfield list of audos, I came across, something, tht stuck me as odd, Why are most of BS's audios, have prefixed on the pages, "Bernice Summerfield: [insert title here] "? *Peace* Yeepsi 17:53, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Also, on the subject on Talk Archive, do I need to create it? Or simply, move my current talk page, then move the current (i.e. '11) talks to my new talk page? *Peace* Yeepsi 18:13, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yeti back attack!
Hi Tardis 1963, Yeepsi & I have been having problems getting a link to show an image. Please read the "Lost Stories" section on his Talk page and the "Teamwork" section on mine for the details. LMK what I need to do to fix this and I'll take care of it. Thanks! RAIDERCLEM 18:33, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

ive been asking many user for it im really desprit to see the outtake and cat-flap but youtube dont have them and i cant find a site who does if you cant do you know a user who has survival and can upload those features

Hi
Hello,

I'm back and it's about time! I used to edit the comic strip pages. But for one reason or another, I lost interest in the wiki. Sorry! Anyway, I'm back and I have done several edits on the Main DWM page. I hope that's okay. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi!

Thanks,

Hartnellfan2

Talk Archive
Hello, I'm glad to say, my Talk Archive, is up & running (after several mintues, of not working right!). *Peace* Yeepsi 10:33, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yeti & Specials
Link on Yeti Attack! lookin' good-Thanks! I also did the 'Specials' like you have the 'Special Editions'. I think that's the way you want them, right? RAIDERCLEM 12:14, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

That Abominable Yeti back leaflet link is acting up again, but I think I've figured out the problem - it's the "!" in the image title. If you could remove that the problem should be fixed. RAIDERCLEM 00:19, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

Items released in 19__
Hello, I hope you have some time to come & check out the Items released in so & so pages. I've added all the items for '64-'79, (<-- Sounds a bit like a Beatles compilation album :3) baring, '71, when there, is no Items released wat so ever... *Peace* Yeepsi 14:09, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Same here, like with books, I would list the edition (if only one), then the info box. I would've updated some of the 80s, but my internet keep crashing. :P Also, it's nearly mid-night! (Over here) *Peace* Yeepsi 23:41, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry I'm not Active
Hi, fearless leader! I'm sorry I've not active latley, but I've been trying to adopt another wiki, and tidy it up, once I've adopted it I should be back over here again! Hope that's ok, TARDIS2010 18:49, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I should be more active over here soon though, as my adoption SHOULD be accepted any day now (hopfully) Then I'll be back full time, working on news + toys! TARDIS2010 09:40, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Language
Hi leader! I thought I'd just let you know, The18thdoctor swore on my page, but just the 1st word then ****, I think he just got a bit angry, but I thought I'd better tell you:) Thanks *T-Man* TARDIS2010 18:36, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

ok, I just thought I'd better let you know, cause of all the author pages idea + that language isn't sutible for the wiki, if you know what I mean:) *T-Man* TARDIS2010 15:58, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Possible Glitch in Image Uploader
As you've noticed, I've been creating pages for Target Novelisations. I've had due stop for the moment due to a problem: when I try to upload an image (like, say, the cover of a novelisation), the program runs, but the actual image doesn't appear. Take, for example, the page for the Robot novelisation.

As you are the owner of the site, I thought you would be the best to contact about this. If I'm wrong, please direct me to the correct person. Please respond soon - I've almost finished writing articles for the whole series.

The18thdoctor 15:54, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Never mind. I clicked the Robot link to make sure it worked, and wouldn't you know it, the covers were there. Sorry to bother you.

The18thdoctor 15:56, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

BBC CDs
Been checking out the BBC CD template-I like! Did you leave out Hornet's Nest, Demon Quest & the Doctor Who at the BBC CDs for a reason? I was about to add them and then thought maybe you didn't want them there. RAIDERCLEM 10:46, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. RAIDERCLEM 11:42, January 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Cuts
Hi TARDIS 1963, Thank you for your message of January 2, 2011 regarding my edits. I have noted your reasons for having to revert many of them, and will bear these in mind for any future edits. --Freddie R. Aldous 22:06, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Cascading pages
OK, I can't figure something out. I created a "cascading" page for the graphic novels like you did for the DVDs and DWMs. All the sections are there, but they don't show up unless you click on the top section, and then the next, and the next and so on. In other words, you can't click on the last section unless you go through all the others. What am I missing here? RAIDERCLEM 03:22, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, I got it fixed. There is one thing I'm not sure about and I'd like to know what you think. I've made pages for Marvel UK comic books, graphic novels & magazines that are not Doctor Who releases but that contain Doctor Who comic strips, such as Death's Head, Star-Lord & The Incredible Hulk Presents. The Incredible Hulk Presents contains first prints (some, but not all have been reprinted in Doctor Who Classic Comics), and Death's Head #8 contains a Seventh Doctor story that has never been printed anywhere else. My immediate question: There are 2 Death's Head graphic novels that include Doctor Who reprints. Should these be included on the cascade Graphic Novels page? RAIDERCLEM 10:27, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. Since all the comic books and graphic novels in question were published by Marvel, I added them to the end of their respective Marvel sections rather than creating new sections. RAIDERCLEM 21:22, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Delete
Hi, T-63, just a heads up, u might want to keep an eye on the 'Candidates for deletion' special page, I'm going around, turning this wiki upside down, trying to find usless pages. So keep an active 'delete' (Gawd, I sound like a Cyberman!) finger ready. *Peace* Yeepsi 13:20, January 28, 2011 (UTC)

I did add the delete template, the only thing tht was there, after I saved the page was the Candidates for deletion, cateogry, perhaps only, the template works on actual pages, just not redirects. *Peace* Yeepsi 12:18, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Book Reviews
Hello, T-'63, when u get a spair minute I hope, u could have a look at my Book Reviews, & give me, ur opinion. *Peace* Yeepsi 11:29, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

To be honest, some pages, like Heart of TARDIS, don't get much views, compared to User pages. Like mine, which got over 1,050, last time I checked & your's, which is nearly at 1,300. (On a related note, ur talk has got 70 more views, than ur actual User page.) *Peace* Yeepsi 11:27, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Also, keep an eye out, by the time u've read this message I might have done, my Review for Doctor Who and the Ice Warriors. *Peace* Yeepsi 11:36, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

CD images
I've been playin' around a bit with a couple of the CD tin images. See if you like the results. RAIDERCLEM 23:45, January 31, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, my dear chap
Hello, this is the first (proper) chat in a long time. How r u? Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 21:55, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Do u like my new sig?

I've had some good so far, got some (Beatles) LPs, got, now, over half the Target Books. Also, I'm glad u agree. How's 2011, been treating u? Also, I was bored, & did some (about one) how to vid on Wikia (How to Edit, & undo an edit, which would explain, why I undid, 2 of my edits.) *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 22:10, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Video is here. I do plan to make, some more, of course, but now, is not the best time (It's 22:20 over here! & Now I have to go to sleep!) :P *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 22:21, February 3, 2011 (UTC)

Btw, the channel tht's, uploaded the wikia vids, is my proper Who related channel (with the odd, Beatles vids ;D ), be sure to add me, & sub. (U've only sub & friended, my music channel.) Well, any by the time, u've read this message, I would've upload lots more vids. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 10:33, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, just a head's up, check the Candidates for Deletion page. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 22:58, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

What? - No Classic Comics on this website??
I thought of something after making those "cascading" pages and asking you to delete the previous Doctor Who Classic Comics & Doctor Who Poster Magazine pages. What if someone tried to look up those magazines? They wouldn't find them unless they looked up Magazines. So I created new pages for them with "See Magazines" links as the only text. Is this a good way to handle this? Or is there another way someone could be directed to "cascade" sections when looking for one of these magazines? RAIDERCLEM 15:52, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

show/hide
Something I can't figure out - When you go to the "Books" page, why does it show "BBC Books" & "Other" under the "Doctor Who Fiction" section? Shouldn't you have to click on this section to show the 2 subsections? I can't seem to get it to do this. I must have missed something. RAIDERCLEM 10:58, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Never mind, I got it fixed. I was one letter off in the code but it's OK now. RAIDERCLEM 11:08, February 11, 2011 (UTC)

Give us The Daemons
I can no longer link to The Daemons because the a & e are run together, whatever that's supposed to be. Yes, I know it's some kind of archaic letter (or letters?) and that it's used in the actual title, but it's certainly not on any computer in the US, and I bet a lot of other countries too. How 'bout letting the rest of the world view this page? Maybe you could add a symbol or something, or maybe a redirect? Thanks, RAIDERCLEM 11:56, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Raider, on this. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 12:15, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

The story redirects, but I still can't get "The Daemons (VHS)" to link up. RAIDERCLEM 03:33, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

A New Home (For Me) & Holiday
Hello, just a head's up, sorry I haven't been on here much. I'm actual making a Collectors Wiki (Beatles related!). & I'm going out of town for the next couple of days, to Liverpool (Beatles Central :D), so I won't be editing here, or on my Wiki, for a while. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 17:04, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I'm back, I've had a fun holiday, lots of pics! (Be sure to check Fb). Also, done my 4th Book Review, Doctor Whom. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! 11:12, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

DVD templates
Hello, I see where you made the US DVDs 8 across. I like that better, I just made them 7 to match the UK releases. One thing I was trying to fix that I had a problem with, though. When you look at the "US DVD" template everything looks great. But when you go to the US drop-down section on the DVDs page, the space between the 80% resized text and the release dates seems too large. Is there a way to fix this, or is this the way you want it to look? RAIDERCLEM 23:51, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

OK, since you ask, this is my opinion. I just changed the last full row of the US DVD template (the row starting with Meglos) to the style I like best to show you in comparison. 7 across, with slightly larger thumbnails. If you keep the smaller thumbnails, I like 8 across better, even though it looks a little jammed together. This 7 across with larger thumbnails is the way I did the Comic Book and Graphic Novel templates, if you want to see what a whole page looks like. However, I did the Nonfiction Books only 6 across, because these books are different sizes and I tried to make the thumbnails reflect their size in relation to each other, and the titles on some of them (especially the Telos books) are so long they just seemed to need the extra space. Just my preference, either way will look good. RAIDERCLEM 10:33, February 22, 2011 (UTC)

US DVD info boxes
Don't know where all these "Unites States" in the info boxes are coming from. Never heard of such a place...RAIDERCLEM 09:57, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the Pyramids, Talons & Fang Rock DVDs all had "Unites" in the top blue bar of the infobox. I actually went thru the US DVDs a couple of months back and corrected quite a few more. I just realized what I think it is, tho-the S & D keys being next to each other, I think someone's just hitting the wrong key. RAIDERCLEM 02:09, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

List pages for comics
I notice on your to-do list you have "List pages for comics". I've worked on both comic strips and comic books and could help with this but I don't know what you're looking for. There are already about a dozen list pages for comic strips, and wouldn't a list page for comic books just read "No. 1, No. 2, etc."? Also, I don't understand why paperback book author info would link to a list of comics? Be glad to help if you like just LMK. RAIDERCLEM 10:30, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Doctor Who Collectors Wiki Forum
Hello T-'63, I would just like to say, I was on this other (i.e. Non-Who related) forum, the design of it, really, intrigued me, so I though we should have.... Anywho, to make as long story short, I've already made one, here. Tell me wat u think. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects! 21:34, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. If u sign up [on the forum] I'll make u an admin ;)

P.S.S. Y'know, u wanna click on my current & Future projects link ;)

& wat changes, would these be? Also, u're now an admin. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects! 21:49, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Odd, I thought I did VHSs. Books, on the other hand, would take a while, PDAs, NAs, MAs, EDAs etc. Also, no prob. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects! 21:59, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

I've add one more section to 'CD' & fixed various typos (damn, my keyboard!). Sadly, I've got to hop off now, take care, may any necessary edits to forum as u see fit. But, don't forget, I see all! Good Night! (Or Good Morning for u!) *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects! 22:07, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Just what you needed
Sorry I put you through the extra work by adding those "by BBC Audio" lines to the CDs. Since it seems that all the new BBC CDs starting with Doctor Who: The Essential Companion (CD) are going to be under AudioGO now rather than BBC Audio I was trying to differentiate between the two. RAIDERCLEM 02:20, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

More time
Hello, just a heads up, I'm gonna have more time on here, thanks to a prick, merging The Beatles Wiki, with Songpedia - basically, my (previous few months) hard work, gone. :'( *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! - Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects! 12:17, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Infoboxes / Logo
Hello, can u, change the infobox on this Wiki, to match the colour scheme, on here. A sort of mix between different shades of Black & White, will do. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 20:18, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

Also, can u make a logo, similar to the one here, but with 'The Beatles' logo, instead of the Who one(, of course) ?*Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 21:49, February 28, 2011 (UTC)

OK, to make things easier (or maybe I'm just plain lazy), I'm gonna put my Wiki's skin, to Oasis (so I don't have to mess around with the Infobox colour's). So, this is gonna make u're job alot simpler, remember, the ole' DWCW, logo, the TARDIS shaped DW, then 'Collectors Wiki' in lines? Well I want a similar type of thing, for TBCW, The Beatles logo, (with 'Beatles' moved next to the, 'The' of course) then the words 'Collectors Wiki'. Thanks. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 15:59, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. On my 'Fan Fic' project page, I've got this great idea, for story - Tower(s) of the Toymaker - The Celestial Toymaker, kidnaps The Doctor (Not sure which one yet), & co. & traps them, within, the game, Towers of Hentoi (as feature in The Celestial Toymaker, Ep 4). Inside each piece, is a maze of twists & turns - new & different enemies & old an' angry enemies. Can The Doctor (and Co.) escape the Tower(s) before the 1054th turn?

^ Just thought of tht on the spot (the last two lines).

Hope u don't mind, but I pinched the 'About' page information, removing the Who related info, of course. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 16:58, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, after dabbling, my brush in the Collectors pot (in a sense), I've manged to do, this, & this. First one's half finished, the second, still needs the other half of the cover blurb. Tell me wat u think. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 21:48, March 3, 2011 (UTC)

Cassettes/LPs
Hello, T-'63, I'm just here to say, I've add lots, of LPs, & Cassette links, (there's still some more to go on!) to the Items released in so & so year. I've done this because, my Fav DW, Collectors site (2nd to DWCW, of course), Timelash has add 'em on they're site. I will get round to adding the full pages, after, I've added ALL of the links. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 22:05, March 13, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. make sure u check, the Candidates for deletion, every so often. ;)

Don't worry, logos, take time, take as long as u want, no rush. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 11:18, March 14, 2011 (UTC)

Adopt an article
Hi, T-'63, I'm suggesting we (DWCW) has a "Adopt An Article" project, like wat, Wikipedia has, but since the AanA, on Wikipedia, is just to improve the pages quality/info/external links etc. But, I'm suggesting we 'adapt' it a little, so for our AanA, a user, will pick any article they like, which has been made, but there's nothing, but a few lines, or a few lines & an infobox, & try to add all the info. Does it sound like a good idea to u? *Peace*

P.S. Did u hear? Tom B's finally, gonna work with BF. :D

Ah nvm, then. Also, look above, my sig seems to, not have materalized in the space above, must be some temperol anomaly, it'll pass shortly, I'm sure.

Anywho, by now, I assume, u have seen the Comic Relief Specials, Space & Time? Wat did u think about it? I got a bit confused at the start, but, I understood, at the end. The Moral of the story - never have a glass floor in the Tardis.... *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 20:36, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

The easiest way, would be Youtube, the 'official' version by the BBC, is the best version to watch. *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 19:05, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Loose Cannon Images
Hello! I'm still around (just not very active).

Anyway, I was wondering if it was OK if I uploaded the cover images to the Loose Cannon reconstructions.

I have no intention of putting them on actual pages. I would just use them for my own personal pages (which I plan on updating). Time Lord Enthusiast 03:50, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

I had no idea there even was a category like that. Thank you for the approval. (I saw the "Who Killed Kenny" picture and burst out laughing. I can't believe I never thought of that). Time Lord Enthusiast 05:05, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello oh great leader! Just to let you know I HAVE returned to the wiki, after a monment of holiday just to rest myself! So i'll get to work straigth away, and continue my job as official News Updater! Just thougth i'd let you know i'm back and all, TARDIS2010 16:40, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, it's great to be back! It always a really nice welcome back in this place, makes it worth while! TARDIS2010 14:27, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Eye spy
I spy with my little eye, something in your DVD collection beginning with Leisure & ending with Hive.

Wat do u think of the story? Personally, I liked the plotline, but the way JNT had it spread out, is odd, I thought it would've made a good two-parter, three maxium. -- *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 22:08, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. Make sure u have a look at the 'Adopt an Article' section, on ur talk, I've added another message.

Old idea's out; New idea's in...
Ok, after the short-lived failure of the DWCW Forum; I suggest, a Newsletter, for DWCW - latest released items, latest created pages for this site, latest sign-ups etc. Someone (maybe Raider, he's got lots of stuff) could do a review on a CD/DVD etc. maybe. & also, maybe a column or two from u?

Good idea, yes, no? -- *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 22:33, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

Wat, I was thinking was, tht I handle most of the publication, & maybe, a column or two, from u. As for Raider, I'll ask him, in a minute.

Steven Moffat, did say, he wanted Time and Space, to be canicol, so really it's hard, if u think about it, to do a "funny" Who story, without it being outside the range of Canon. -- *Peace* Yeepsi - Talk to me! (- Fan Fic! - Book Reviews! - Current and Future Projects!) 10:29, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Update Timeline (Finally!)
I finally updated my timeline after nearly a year. The toughest one was (obviously) the Eleventh Doctor section. It was essentially obsolete (with the others I only had to update certain images and add-on a few stories). I'm just happy to say I finally got it refreshed (for the most part).Time Lord Enthusiast 05:26, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Cascading pages
Hello T-'63, how r u been lately? Me, I've been hot & cold, repeatedly, personally, I'm feelin' like I'm coming down with something, not sure wat though!

DWM
Hi T-63. I'm I'm making the DWM pages now, with raider helping, so they will be up to date eventually, so the toy pages will be a bit dead for a while, while I take care of these. Oh and the DWCW newsletter, i'm part of the team now, as Co-editor, Toy reviewer & graphic designer, I was just wandering, do you have any idea when your Admin's Ally article will be ready?

Hi T-'63, do you think you could add toys to the 'Recent Releases' section on the homepage? I just feel they should get a bit more attention, like DVDs + CDs around here, as toys are becoming a big part of the wiki.

Tom's back! For Big Finish and AudioGo!
As, wat the title of a news item, in DWM 433, read (Ok, I changed it a little), apparently, (as the tile suggests) Tom, is gonna be working with Big Finish and AudioGo; Big Finish, for (currently) two series of adventures, S1 6 adventures, S2 7 adventures, plus a box set of Lost Stories (5 disc collection); and AudioGo (perhaps ur wondering, why, I'm saying AudioGo and not BBC Audio, well AudioGo technically owns BBC Audio, like RandomHouse Publishing owns BBC Books, so we'll need to change the BBC Fourth Doctor Adventures CDs template, accordingly), they also made the Hornets' Nest, and Demon Quest audio series', for a new series of adventures, again written by Paul Magrs (Oh, him again!), previous series' this one will also, be a 5 story, interlinking series, also featuring Mrs Wibbsey (Oh, nvm), called Serpent Crest (odd, Sepent Crest, sounds similar to Demon Quest and Hornets' Nest and oh....).

The Demon made me do it
Hello Tardis1963, How 'ya been? I saw where you wrote The Impossible Astronaut was your favorite episode ever-I bet you're going to enjoy this series! You may have noticed that I've been creating some new templates, like for the New Series Adventures books and the Target Novelisations. Well, I've run into that old demon of a problem again. Could you fix Doctor Who and the Daemons in the Target Novelisations template? It's that run-together ae thing which I have no idea how to link, either the image or the title. Also, a question I keep going back-and-forth on, would like to hear your opinion. Should we add the actual episode title in small font under the Target Novelisation title, like putting Colony in Space under Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon? I see both pros and cons to this.

Bot
I am willing to help you. Could you tell me below what you want?

Also, I hate to be the TOU police, but you are not allowed to hide the sidebar or adverts globally on a wiki. You need to remove the code.


 * Okay. First off, the hidden sidebar is find for your personal css.


 * Secondly, I'll get right on it. Recent Changes is gonna get a bit messy in a minute.


 * If the bot starts messing up the wiki, you need to hit the button below - it will block the bot.


 * [ Emergency Bot Shutdown ]


 * I will not start until you give the final go ahead.
 * I cannot hide the templates for certain usergroups.
 * Also, can you tell me whether you want it on every single page, or just articles and categories.
 * Sorry about this, but why do you need this doing? There is a perectly good edit button already (And you can't remove it under TOU if that was your plan).
 * Yes you can, but everyone else will alo see these templates I'm about to add. What I am really asking is, are you sure you want this doing? (Sorry if I am getting at you, but this is a massive under taking)
 * With a bot, no. I should be able to remove all of the code if nessisarry. I am going to start now.
 * You may find that some pages have two lots of templates, I'll fix that later.
 * I'll be doing this in a couple of runs. I'm doing main content first, then categories. Then, if you want me to do any more domains, you will need to tell me then.
 * You do knwo your edit buttons are not linking properly right?

All fixed!

Floating Template Positioning
Just to let you know, many people have different screen resolutions to yourself. This when you fix something relative to the screen, it often overlaps the content. See the image.

You can remove the left positioning in wikia.css - I've fixed the widths for you.

Oh, you kinda need left: 0px still. My bad.

Hello!
Hello! Dynovan here, thanks for the warm welcome! Yeah, I really love Dr Who, so it's good to be a part of this project. I should post about my collection of DW mags, shouldn't I? Dynovan 09:27, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Talk Templates
Okay, but I'm gonna have to finish my current cycle first. Template pages are gonna be harder and talk longer as I have to use includeonly.


 * I cannot do file or mediawiki - as they contain content that is integrated into the rest of the wiki. 'user' and 'dwcw' I can do, but why do you need talk pages on a forum?

Finished?
That should just about do it. Any problems? Anything I missed?

The other (not the cool one) blue box
Hello Tardis1963, Unlike the title pages however, I really dislike this blue box on my user page. Anyway I can disable it? Or change the font to something more "Doctor Who" appropriate (like the font in the "Doctor Who Collector's Wiki" box)? Or at least change the size and make it smaller? If I undo recent changes will that do it? Thanks! RAIDERCLEM 13:39, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Hi again, That took care of it. Seriously though dude, that thing is big-time ugly. RAIDERCLEM 19:36, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

The talk/edit/rename floaty thing
I know you're very much "in beta" as far as your new series of "blue boxes" are concerned, but I feel I should jump in and tell you about things I'm seeing that you can't be. Because if you were seeing what I'm seeing on my screen, you wouldn't have gone live with this feature, I don't think. It's totally in the way of article text on the left-hand side of pages. I constantly have to scroll just to read text on any page. And it adds no functionality I don't already have through the edit button or the wikia footer. I honestly can't see why you need it at all, since there are "edit", "history", "rename" and "talk" buttons available at the top and bottom of pages. Press your keyboard's "home" or "end" key once, and you're there.

That said, there are plenty of other options, if you really must keep it in the left gutter.


 * One is to cut the width by two-thirds (seriously, just the letter "T" for talk, the letter "E" for edit — or symbols). Push it out to maybe a left margin of -100. At least maybe it won't cover so much of the text that way.
 * Or just change the z-index to a negative number, so that it will slide under the page.
 * Or, and this is probably the best option, change it from fixed to absolute positioning and adjust the top margin of div#talk to something like -300, putting the remaining three boxes an appropriately higher negative number.

I should point out at this juncture that your CSS is wrong on margins. top-margin:0 is roughly at the bottom of the wordmark (the DWCW logo). So when you say top-margin:100, you're talking about a value that's technically outside the page margins (up around the wikia logo). And by the time you get to placing rename at 228px, you're well and truly off the top of the page. It appears to be working, of course, but you're relying on the browser to interpret mistaken numbers and invert the y-axis for you. Since you're not using genuine co-ordinates, there's no guarantee that every browser is rendering it where you actually want it. I don't really understand your margin numbers, either, because they're not equidistant. Talk and edit are 40px apart, but then edit and history are 44px apart, and history and rename are 44px apart. Does this mean that these images are actually of different sizes, or have you done the math wrong? I dunno. So let's just assume that they're all a nice, regular 40px in height, and that you want them to start aligning with the top of the page. Your margins should be 0px, -40px, -80px, and -120px.

Again, though, I think your best bet is to change positioning from fixed to absolute, and move the whole thing down to the middle of the page. It won't follow you as you scroll, but you'll have something at the top, middle and bottom of pages.

See, I think the thing you haven't planned for is that people will actually zoom in on the page. According to browser usability studies, many people do use the zoom feature since many don't have perfect vision, or aren't sitting an an optimal reading distance or have widescreen monitors better served by zooming in. And there are two ways that browsers can increase text size. They can just change the size of the text, or they can perform an actual zoom, which increases the size of everything, so that the zoom looks proportional. By default, most browsers zoom, they don't just change text size. If you change the text size on your site now, the blue box is naturally unaffected, because it's a graphic. The rest of the page looks weird, but the blue box is (well, boxes are, to be absolutely precise) unchanged.

But if you zoom, the blue box zooms too, and soon comes careening into the left side of the page. I traditionally push the zoom button twice to make a page fit entirely on my widescreen monitor. When I do this, the blue box is overhanging the page horribly — by at least 50 to 75 px. It's absolutely interfering with my ability to read the text on pages.

Another point is that this really rams editing features down the users' throats. It's distracting to have a thing following you around as you scroll around a page, even if it's outside the page margins. But if that thing that's following you around is offering you features that you never use — like "edit" and "history" — it's even more annoying. Pages should be built, in my view, for the convenience of the reader, not the editor. If it's a feature in a standard location on the side of the page, people who are just here to read won't find it annoying. They might be curious about it, but it doesn't affect their enjoyment of a page, because absolute positioning means it always stays put.

There's also the method of delivery to be considered. There are disadvantages to it being delivered by a template placed on every page. The problem with it being a template — from your perspective, as someone who wants this feature to be on every page — is that any editor could come on here and undo the bot's work. A bot could easily unno the whole system in a couple of hours. Or, worse, an individual editor could just take it off an individual page — either intentionally or accidentally —and you'd never find it until a year later when you happened to be on that page yourself. The alternative — javascript creation of a button — is harder, but it's impregnable. Ordinary users have no way to remove js-created buttons. At all.

Finally, you should consider whether you want to be doing this to users who prefer the monobook skin. We have a few of these outlying tags at w:c:tardis, but they're all very narrow — precisely 25px, in fact. This is because some people still do browse in monobook, and a 25px width still gives them access to the monobook left gutter. If you don't want to change your skin, just go to wikipedia and look at all the vital page areas you're covering up with this thing as it is. If you made them 25px widths with either symbols or the first letter of the function, you wouldn't be pissin' off monobook users. Well, actually, because you've put the CSS in Wikia.css rather than Common.css, Your boxes aren't going to have any real styling in monobook. They're just gonna stack up in a big clump at the top left of the page. But then I see that you haven't considered monobook at all on this wiki, cause you don't have a monobook-sized logo (it's just fitting the widescreen wordmark into a totally differently-shaped hole). Anyway, those are just a few ideas. Hope you don't mind the constructive criticism. CzechOut 16:10, June 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have a soultion Tardis1963. We need to remove all of those templates my bot put in today (I can do that using the bot), and then use a opitional JavaScript page to add the buttons in. Users can see the buttons by adding an import code to their personal wikia.js.

Solution
Stick this at the top of your wikia.js and tell me what you think. importScriptPage('User:Eladkse/wikia.js', 'doctor-who-collectors');

Cleanup Update: Have removed the templates from all but 2000 pages. Will finish tommorrow.

I highly recommend using the above import code rather than copy/paste. It means that the code auyo updates when I change it.

It would be easier if you could give me admin rights, as then I could use a MediaWiki page to edit the code and just import it into our personal wikia.js pages from there.

Code is now finished. Use the following to see it (I will try to fix IE9 now):

importScriptPage('MediaWiki:EditBar.js', 'doctor-who-collectors');

I took the liberty of changing the images so it made it easier while I coded. If you like them and want me to make them better, please let me know.

My bot is finishing removing the tags from the majority of pages. I will remove the last ones myself.

IE9
I am working on IE9 at the moment. It makes no sense that it doesn't work as it is only basic js... I'll figure it out though.

Cleanup finished
Cleanup is now finished. The bot has shutdown - and I will now block it so it doesn't affect the achievements list. Am making some progress with the IE issue, but am waiting on a response from the JS experts at the community.


 * I found the problem, but you aren't gonna like it. Essentially, personal wikia.js doesn't work in IE. Only your personal global.js and the wiki's wikia.js is recognised.


 * Best solution: Change your browser.


 * Second solution: I add an extra piece of js to wikia.js to make it work only for people who want it. You would need to remove the code form your personal wikia.js.


 * So, option 1 or option 2?


 * Delete your personal code. I'm gonna try something.
 * Purge your page.
 * Try now.

Adjustments
Is this any better?


 * That's just how the code works - it still gets you to the right place.
 * I'll have a look.
 * Can you please not edit the js while I'm working?
 * How about that! ;)
 * Right, I can't make them both relative to the window and relative to the article. Which one would you prefer?
 * Scratch that, what do you think of it now?
 * ATM, I can get it to work in evrything but IE. Typically.

Opinion
G'day, (or rather, morning) T-'63. Once you get a spare moment, I need ur opinion on a page. Been working on it for the best part of a hour and 40 mins, & it's complete (give or take, a few image links). -- *Peace* <font color="Red">I'm <font color="Blue">Thinking  <font color="Green">of  <font color="Yellow">Linking  22:32, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Not being funny or anything...
...but why don't you just add edit and the other tools to your bottom toolbar? It would work perfectly with all pages and in all browsers. Also, why did you change the math to -139?

Observations
I don't see the "right-hand column" you're asking about on any of my pages, but I haven't seen that in months. As far as I can tell, the blue boxes are gone; they weren't on any of the pages I checked. (Thank you!) I saw in one of your discussions someone talked about making it smaller and using just symbols - that may be cool if you really think it's needed. But I've always felt the image of the "item" should be the focal point when someone opens a page. One thing I think you may want to look at is the black toolbar at the bottom of the page with "Following/My Tools/Customize" on it. It seems to be blocking the text at the bottom of pages, making it unreadable. In fact, it was completely blocking the message you sent me on my user page asking about these issues. The only way I could get around it and read the message was by hitting the "edit" button. I think it would be really annoying to a user who may not know to do that to get a notice that they have a message, and then not be able to read it when they go to their talk page because the toolbar is covering it up. And one general observation I'd like to make: I know you're trying different things out to improve the Wiki, but I feel as if you already have one of the best, if not THE best looking Wiki out there, in no small part due to YOUR choice of color schemes, cascading templates, etc. You've done a great job on it Gary and should keep that in mind, change just for the sake of change or to be "current" isn't usually needed. Thanks for all the good work! RAIDERCLEM 09:33, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Signing Off
I can't fix the history edit situation, at least not without writing pages and pages of code to decipher every url possibility.

To me, the code seems complete, so I'm gonna stop editing it. If you need help, do send me a message.

To add other users, just add their name in a new line like mine is to wikia.js -
 * || wgUserName == 'Username')

Wishing your wiki all the best.

Hi, it's Dynovan, remember me? I joined ages ago but haven't been editing. Can I be an admin? Dynovan | Let's Talk 08:29, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well, because I've got many projects lined up, and I feel it would help if I was admin. I think I can help this wiki be great, and I just think it would be better if I was admin. Dynovan | Let's Talk 18:35, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, sure. Dynovan | Let's Talk 07:57, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, i'll get round to it ASAP. Shall i just choose a random book, dvd and cd for the items of the month? T-Man | Talk to Me | F1 should NEVER be on SKY! 15:11, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Can I add a Monster Invasion section on the main page? Dynovan | Let's Talk | Transformers 3 rocks! 15:18, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

I Ain't Dead!
Just checking with you to tell you that I'm still active... just not working.

It's amazing that it's been nearly 3 years since this Wiki started. Just look at all the stuff that's occurred since then: Eleventh Doctor, answers to River Song's past, but also the sad passing of some of the best actors in the show's history.

And thank you again for approving my timelines!

Anyway, with Series 6 now finished, I'll be updating my Eleventh Doctor and River Song timelines really soon. And then I'll probably update a few other things. I've also had a Brigadier timeline that I've had on my laptop for a while but I never put on the site.

Time Lord Enthusiast 15:42, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah. I already have Sarah Jane one in my Other Characters section. It only goes up to Series 3 of SJA, but it's existed for a while now. I was originally going to update in honor of Elisabeth Sladen's passing, but I just couldn't... too heart-breaking at the time. Same goes for Nicholas Courtney and the Brig's timeline.

Wonderin'
Just wonderin' how did u change "Wiki Activity" to "Recent Changes", "Upload image" and "Random page"? -- *Peace* <font color="Red">I'm <font color="Blue">Thinking  <font color="Green">of  <font color="Yellow">Linking  16:02, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'll do it as a new section. Dynovan | Let's Talk | Transformers 3 rocks! 09:12, October 8, 2011 (UTC)

Whenever u get a spare moment, on TBCW, the cascade templates won't "collapse" for some reason or another. -- *Peace* <font color="Red">I'm <font color="Blue">Thinking  <font color="Green">of  <font color="Yellow">Linking  20:07, October 15, 2011 (UTC)

"Book box" templates
Hi... just tinkering a bit and I ran across these... And I have to ask a few questions...

Off the hop, is it a good idea to bury information like this? Based on how you are applying them, it looks like only one set of information is going to be visible at the end. Isn't that counter productive in an environment intended to create a catalog of the various items?

Does the tab mark up prevent the use of templates with parameters? If so, wouldn't it be better to create sub-pages on each article rather than off of the template?

Also, isn't it silly to have tabs on books that only have a single release?

And as far as counterproductive... Based on how the articles seem to have evolved with the "Who's got it" sections, isn't it a step back to have editors have to hunt for both page and the instructions where they can state "Me too, I've got that one"? Being able to click at the article your looking at is much friendlier to the users and editors.

 * I can see the rationale, but it would be just as easy, to use a gallery as the primary page and sub pages to host the infobox info, notes, and the "I've got this" statements. Actually it would be easier with the later since it won't limit the potential number of tracked collections. It also makes cross-linking easier from the "released in" pages.
 * There is "cheating" and "cheating". Over all page count shouldn't be an issue, but the badges that have been enables start to ignore edits to templates with the exception of "An edit a day for X days". If someone want to update, add notes, or "finish" to a pane as you've set it up, they will wind up not getting credit, such as it is, for the edits.

Translation and other categories.
Frankly, I don't understand.

Essentially, the wikia you founded is a catalog of the collectables based on Doctor Who and its spin-offs. By nature there are going to be similarities to the TARDIS Index Files and I can see good reason to limit that overlap.

But, categorization is a tool to allow like things to be grouped together, and it is something that is useful in searching for things. Someone coming here to look up what books were published in German or by by White Lion is going to start with either a book they have or trying to find that specific list. A list of very few items is unlikely to exist and an article on a publisher or the translation history of the books seems well outside the scope of the wikia. That leaves the categories.

Yes, they are small, and some of them likely would hold an under 4 items at max, but that seems a minor issue. And yes, there are initially based on 2 articles, I'm sorry about that but I tend to work on one article until it's done and then move on instead of jumping across half a dozen, the average of the translated sets, and working piece meal.

 * As far as "in depth" goes, I agree. A link to "Target novelisations", a writer, a specific episode, or the like should point to an article on TIF at the very least. It may not hurt to point to there as well from the specific collectables as well if they would have information other than just identifying the object.
 * But with an identification catalog, having an index by type is useful, especially if that "type" is prevalent within the articles. "Publisher" is within the articles. So is "Writer" and, based on the "Items released" lists, so are "Language" or "Market/Region/Country". For a casual user coming here to try and find something for, say, a want list or to try and ID something, lack of that index makes the site either close to useless or moot since they have to hunt through random pages or know exactly what they are looking for.

New template for VHS
Hi there,

I've been converting a few DVD pages to the new format, and it hit me - any plans for the VHS pages in the new template?

TARDIS2468 08:40, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re: VHS template
There's only a couple DVDs left to do, so if you made a VHS template I'll get on the VHSs right away.

DWM templates
Hello Tardis1963! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year as well! I've been working on the DWM templates w/T-Man & Yeepsi, and we've come to a point where I think your input is needed. We're getting to where DWM has multiple covers for some issues. Some are numbered 1,2,3,4 some are lettered A,B,C,D and some are neither numbered or lettered. Should we include all covers on the template? I know that's what they do on other DWM sites, and it's what I've done with the comics. T-Man and I think all covers should be included on the template. Yeepsi feels there should be a separate template for "alternate covers". What do you think? RAIDERCLEM 20:25, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
