Hello, Just dropping a line regarding Special:Diff/1232488936. The pipe was basically in preparation for a pending move where the baseline ABC News would be moved and converted to a disambiguation page (differentiating ABC News (Australia) among others ( Talk:ABC_News#Requested_move_18_June_2024). Anyway, it looks like this might get reversed ( User_talk:BilledMammal#ABC_News_move), making this moot, but I just wanted to explain. - 2pou ( talk) 00:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC) reply

@ 2pou: Oof. I've spent a little bit of time reading up on this situation now. Can open, worms everywhere. Leaving aside the specifics, I'd just like to say that a more descriptive edit summary than 'pipe' would have helped avoid my reverting your edit (and subsequently my revert being reverted by another editor). Something like 'Redirecting following closed move discussion at PAGE', say. Then - regardless of any rights or wrongs - I would at least have seen enough reason to leave until the dust settles, as were. This is only a suggestion; if you look at my edit history you'll see it comes from the basis that I'm a bit fan of clear and descriptive edit summaries.

It appears my edit summary was cut off in the page history so I Just wanted to provide the full edit summary I had written here really fast: WP:ROUTINE is a notability guideline for articles on events, that doesn't fall within the scope of this article as it's not about an event. This is confirmed by the part of WP:N that says "notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a given topic warrants its own article." Note the part of routine that says "events [...] may be better covered as part of another article", this is that other article. ROUTINE would only apply to this if we were perhaps writing an article called "Doctor Who at the 2024 Comic Con". Regardless, it's not routine as the last DW SDCC panel was in 2018. The relevant notability page for series 14 would be WP:NTV (which albeit, is an essay not a guideline, so WP:N technically). Notability guidelines purely cover whether the article is worthy for a topic, not for the content within said article once notability is established.

The Space-Time Telegraph Volume II, Issue I — July 2024 Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who Okay–ooh. New teeth newsletter. That's weird... Hello! Welcome to the first regenerated issue of The Space-Time Telegraph, the official newsletter of WikiProject Doctor Who. We hope it finds you well in your safe travels across the Whoniverse! This newsletter was founded in 2008 and seemed to get lost in the time vortex quite quickly. Thanks to the Doctor dragging Sutekh through the time vortex and bringing life by bringing death to death (yeah... I'm a little confused too), it seems to have regenerated. The writing staff hopes to bring you future editions quarterly. For this first edition, we have created an updated version of our mailing list that includes any active editors who previously had their usernames included in our participants list. If you do not wish to receive future editions, please remove your name from the mailing list. If you no longer wish to participate in the project, please also remove your name from the participants list. I think that's enough about the newsletter for now. Let's dive into interesting things happening within the Doctor Who side of Wikipedia. Geronimooooo..... Big Spike in Productivity During 2024, the project has scored 8 GAs, 2 FLs and a GT, up from last year's 4 GAs and a GT. Several additional things are in the pipeline, with a bunch of things currently having been nominated with some mix of OlifanofmrTennant, TheDoctorWho, and Pokelego999 having their names attached to them. Allow me to look into the nominees. Series 14: As of July 18th, every single episode has been sent to GAN, with " Boom", " 73 Yards", and " The Devil's Chord" having made it to GA. 2023 Specials: Early in the year, as part of trying to not lose the WikiCup, Ollie sent " The Star Beast" (still salty about the move) to GAN. It was reviewed by frequent collaborator (fly high) of hers, but failed. She then fixed it up and sent it back where it passed. Later " The Giggle" was expanded and sent to GA, followed shortly by " Wild Blue Yonder". WBY received help by JustAnotherCompanion, a pretty fresh user. This other companion chose not to be listed as co-nom. A page was created for " Destination: Skaro" and quickly got GA status. The Daleks' Master Plan was also sent to GAN by Rhain. It passed to join Rhain's other First Doctor content, being the fourth season three article to get the green check. Peter Capaldi: The filmography and newly created awards of Capaldi were both sent to FLC and passed. Capaldi's main page was sent to GA, though due to some minor incompetence on the part of the nominator it was failed. Proposals to the WikiProject A recent proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who suggested potential improvements and suggestions for the main page of the project, as well as discussions about the project overall. The proposals are as follows: The Task Forces section should be removed due to inactivity in the Torchwood Task Force, and a lack of significant interest in creating further Task Forces. The freenode channel no longer works and should be removed due to most discussion taking place on site. Due to the low quality of Lungbarrow and Jubilee despite being sample articles, these articles should either be removed as samples or improved. Additionally, the "sample device" has a very small application field, and should be removed from the sample articles section. An updates infobox should be included, similarly to those used by Wikipedia:VGCHAR. Radio Times's Doctor Who sections should be included in the references section due to their benefits for the project sourcing wise. The Deletion Discussion archive should be removed, or have work invested in updating it, due to its lack of updates. If you feel you have any thoughts or suggestions on these matters, or on any other matters pertaining to the project and its main page, feel free to chime in the ongoing discussion. Discussions of Note A move discussion is currently underway on whether or not Doctor Who series 14 should be moved to Doctor Who season 1 (2024). The discussion also involves conversation on a few other adjacent articles. If you have an opinion on the matter please read over the discussion or leave comments.
