[edit] Character links

Please note that simply putting the character's name into square brackets (ie. "[[Thomas]]") is not sufficient, and will not link to the corect page. I've taken the time to show how to link to all characters below:

  • THOMAS: [[Thomas the Tank Engine|Thomas]]
  • EDWARD: [[Edward the Blue Engine|Edward]]
  • HENRY: [[Henry the Green Engine|Henry]]
  • GORDON: [[Gordon the Big Engine|Gordon]]
  • JAMES: [[James the Red Engine|James]]
  • PERCY: [[Percy the Small Engine|Percy]]
  • TOBY: [[Toby the Tram Engine|Toby]]
  • DUCK: [[Duck the Great Western Engine|Duck]]
  • DONALD: [[Donald and Douglas|Donald]]
  • DOUGLAS: [[Donald and Douglas|Douglas]]
  • DONALD & DOUGLAS (both): [[Donald and Douglas]]
  • EMILY: [[Emily (Thomas the Tank Engine)|Emily]]

ALL OTHER ENGINES: [[Railway engines (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends)#<name>|<name>]]. NOTE: this includes Narrow Gauge engines!

eg. SKARLOEY: [[Railway engines (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends)#Skarloey|Skarloey]]

  • THE FAT CONTROLLER: [[The Fat Controller]]
  • BERTIE: [[Bertie the Bus|Bertie]]
  • TERENCE: [[Terence the Tractor|Terence]]
  • TREVOR: [[Trevor the Traction Engine|Trevor]]
  • HAROLD: [[Harold the Helicopter|Harold]]

ALL OTHER CHARACTERS: link to any of the other TV Series character pages (ie. Rolling stock (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends), Non-rail vehicles (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends), Minor Characters (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends), etc).

eg. ELIZABETH: [[Non-rail vehicles (Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends)#Elizabeth|Elizabeth]]

Please follow this format when adding characters to episode descriptions.

[edit] Superfluous edits

This page has been regularly edited recently by unregistered user(s) who seem to want their comments kept, despite the fact that they are superfluous or even false. Some notes on this are below.

  • This article relates to the twenty-six episodes of the season only. As such, music videos or deleted scenes do not form a part of the season. Any characters appearing in music videos or deleted scenes cannot be considered to have appeared in the season, unless they have also appeared in an episode.
  • Being absent for a season does not constitute a "final appearance". Significant absences, including final appearances, have been acknowledged already, and so do not need to be changed.
  • Insignificant characters do not need acknowledgement. As it is, minor characters are noted in the "introduced/featured characters" section. Rolling Stock Introduced is a section I'm not entirely happy with, but will leave in the article. Having said that, in the individual episode outlines, there is no need to acknowledge minor characters such as "the red balloon".
  • Wikipedia is essentially an encyclopedia. This article is not the place to publish your thoughts on superfluous aspects of the series (eg. "goofs", "third time Emily pulls Express coaches").
  • One final thing... The correct spelling is "appearance".

Thanks, and happy Wiki'ing :) Gonzerelli 14:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Last appearances (thus far)

Several times over the last few weeks, unregistered users have consistently edited notes such as Last appearance of <character> (thus far) by adding a date to the end of the particular note. Given that these dates are from future seasons, they cannot be confirmed and as such will continue to be reverted. Thehalford 03:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stepney's cameos

The Bluebell railway is significantly inland from Sodor... why does Stepney keep making cameos? Anybody know what's up with that?

Quite simple. The TV Series has gone a long, long way down a different path to that of the Railway Series. It doesn't matter what the settings were in the Railway Series (and, in many cases, even in the earlier seasons of the TV Series.....).
You can see, even with this one small point, why it is important to clearly deliniate between the TV Series and Railway Series.

There could be a line running from the Bluebell line to Sodor.--S.C.Ruffeyfan (talk) 20:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Season 7, Episode 1

The first episode of this season, by all reliable sources I have access to, is Three Cheers for Thomas. Not "Hooray for Thomas", or "Emily's Coaches". Gonzerelli 23:12, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Last appearance (to date)...

Where are peoples evistence that seasons 4-9 will be last time (To date) that we see Duck, Oliver, Donald & Douglas, Terence, Boco, Daisy, Arthur, Duke, Murdoch, Toad, Fergus, Bert & Arry and Terence. Just because they haven't been seen in Seasons 8-10 dosen't mean that it was there last, we haven't even seen the Seasons in the future. I heard that these characters will be back in 2008. CourtneyBonnick 16:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

When people say that this episode is x's last (to date) - they are not refering to potential future appearances. What that sentence means is that that was the last time, so far, that they appeared. If and when they appear again, the sentence can then be removed.
It does not mean that it is their last ever, just their last so far.
Hope this clears it up for you.

Yes it has helped alot. Thank you.CourtneyBonnick 17:25, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harold and the Flying Horse

Rusty and Duke made cameo, I've made this change, but you or someone has deleted it.CourtneyBonnick 01:11, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Skarloey also made a cameoCourtneyBonnick 17:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Old Bridge

Is there another title of this episode called The Old Iron Bridge? I'm just asking because I've seen this episode on Percy Saves the Day but it says The Old Bridge. TobytheTramEngine 19:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
