Ed - I just used the {{subst:}}. You might want to check that out for cleanup at the source. --khaosworks 20:13, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
Question: If someone types "Doctor Who" into the search box, should they be redirected to Doctor Who or to Wikiportal/Doctor Who? Bluap
- Doctor Who. There's a link to the portal on the same page. --khaosworks 18:04, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Display
For me the two columns on this page are one under each other, with blank spaces to the side. Like this
CO
OC
Where C is a column and O a space.
Is this just my browser or what?

- Looks fine on my browsers. Which browser are you using and on what operating system? --khaosworks 16:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

- Figured out what it is - my screen size. I'm on 800*600. Looked fine at 1024*768, but I prefer 800*600. Don't know what causees it though. If you could fix it I'd be gratefull. (My Browser is IE 6 on Windows but I don't think this is important) --bjwebb 16:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

- Odd, because it looks fine at 800x600 to me, and I viewed it both with Firefox and IE. Anyone else having a problem? --khaosworks 16:38, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Featured Article
Can I change the featured myself if the same one has been there for a week, or does it have to have been a featured article on the main page? I think it would be nice to feature the new Fourth Doctor article. --bjwebb 28 June 2005 16:23 (UTC)
- Sure, go ahead. Considering that the only FAs that are Who-related so far are Doctor Who and Dalek, if we were limited to that, it'd be a really short cycle. :) --khaosworks June 28, 2005 16:26 (UTC)
Great, I've changed it now. Just out of interest, have any other Doctor Who articles been mentioned on the main page in other sections? --bjwebb 29 June 2005 16:08 (UTC)
[edit] Torchwood
It would be nice to have a quick mention of Torchwood on the portal, maybe in the "did you know?" section? --TimPope 22:18, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tennant is tenth? Questioning a "Did You Know" item
Yes, he's officially the Tenth Doctor in the BBC series, but he's not the tenth actor to play a version of The Doctor. Is some qualification needed here? On what basis are Richard Hurndall, Peter Cushing, Rowan Atkinson, Richard E. Grant, etal., excluded from the count? Should it read that Tennant is the tenth actor barring anniversary specials, film adaptations not directly involving the BBC, licensed parodies and BBCi productions? He's the Tenth Doctor — that's canon — but the number of actors playing the character has nothing to do with continuity or canonicity. It's a simple fact that more than ten actors have played the character; if Tennant is the tenth of a subset of the total, then the subset must be defined. Canonblack 14:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Status of Torchwood within the Doctor Who portal
I suspect this may have already been discussed (although I couldn't find it) -- Should the TV series Torchwood be fully integrated into the Doctor Who portal? I.e., once the series airs, and pages and pages of Torchwood stuff are put on wikipedia, should the Doctor Who portal and Doctor Who Template reflect the increase in Torchwood-related material, e.g. by having "Torchwood main pages" as well as the "Doctor Who main pages" like this:
| Doctor Who |
|---|
| Doctor Who main pages |
| History | The Doctor | Serials | Chronology | Missing episodes | Daleks | Cybermen | TARDIS | UNIT | Torchwood Institute | Theme music | Audio releases | DVD releases | In America | Fandom |
| Torchwood main pages |
| History | Jack Harkness | Gwen Cooper | Chronology | Torchwood Institute | Theme music | Fandom |
| Doctor Who lists |
| Supporting characters | Spin-off companions | Monsters and aliens | Villains | Robots | Planets | Items | Producers | Celebrity appearances | Doctor Who spoofs | Historical characters |
| Related programmes |
| K-9 and Company | Torchwood | Sarah Jane Investigates | Doctor Who Confidential | Totally Doctor Who |
| Portal |
Alternatively, Torchwood could be made more separate from Doctor Who. I know it might seem a bit premature to talk about this now (when there is very little Torchwood material on Wikipedia), but it would definitely seem much better to create the structure now before the inevitable appearance of dozens of Torchwood pages, than to have to re-edit and move everything around at a later date. I would be grateful if people would add their suggestions here. Apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere (please add links to any relevant discussions).

- I agree that it's a good idea to discuss this ahead of time. My own inclination is to leave the main Doctor Who navbox as it is now (with links to Torchwood and the other spin-offs) but to create another navbox for Torchwood. I'd like us to avoid ending up with anything as massive as, say Template:Buffyversenav, and if we add new sections to the Doctor Who navbox for each of the many upcoming spinoffs (including The Sarah Jane Adventures, now confirmed by the BBC!) it's quite likely that the navbox will swell to proportions approaching those. There will, of course, be topics like the Torchwood Institute which will appear in both Doctor Who and Torchwood navboxes, but I don't think that's a problem. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 15:24, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Did You Know query
Who is Daniel Dayte, and what is the "2007 Official Australian Doctor Who Fan Club"? The only reference to either I can find on the net is THIS page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.49.9.154 (talk) 11:16, 10 May 2007 (UTC).
[edit] The Doctor Who Movie
So sorry to start a new topic - there is so much going on in here that this may be addressed elsewhere (I'm new) and I apologize for any redundancy. I was just looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_TARDIS_travellers and thought that since The Watcher was named as a Doctor (and on the page you might want to mention he was played by Adrian Gibbs even though he was uncredited), surely Paul McGann sould have mention (even if only as a footnote). Perhaps not, just a thought.
[edit] Snakedance Screenshot
I noticed that the screenshot for Snakedance was removed because there was no FU rationale. Can someone upload again (I don't own it) and is there any way to keep an eye on the other pages to make sure nothing else gets deleted do you guys know?--Deadly∀ssassin(talk) 01:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
