Hiya, Alex! Hope all's well! Just wanted to ask if you have made any progress on the ratings template with regard to specials? Amaury ( talk | contribs) 00:12, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
Thank you for the heads up on my excessive links. I understand your reasoning behind "American", but not the GCPD link. It seems far enough from the rest of the links and it's relevant to the topic. Why do you feel that link is excessive? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Awat81 ( talk • contribs) 03:56, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
Remind me to stay away from the internet when said information arrives, going to try and surprise myself when Peter regenerates, I probably have a 0.01% success rate for this. Corabal ( talk) 13:22, 31 January 2017 (UTC)
No idea how I'll manage it, I can try. I did somehow watch Breaking Bad spoiler free after it ended, in saying that. Corabal ( talk) 18:33, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

The figures from ratings sources should not be rounded by the editor as the rounded figures no longer reflect the quoted source. And the only source that uses two places are misleading Screener/Zap2it broadcast finals. Also there is no rule or guideline that mandates forced rounding to what you think it should be. Do like trying to force edit wars and then threatening other editors with disciplinary actions for non-compliance? 101.98.165.25 ( talk) 22:30, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello everyone, and sincere apologies if you're getting this message more than once. Just a heads-up that there is currently work on an extension in order to enable CSS styling in templates. Please check the document on mediawiki.org to discuss best storage methods and what we need to avoid with implementation. Thanks, m:User:Melamrawy (WMF), 09:11, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi AlexTheWhovian. My edit on List of Johnny Bravo episodes, since I had completed all the tables with writers/directors/storyboard artists, is really constructive. In your edit is not necessary that you change that little notes because you've made them bulky. Luigi1090 ( talk) 18:1, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
I saw this and had a flashback. The comic in Dr Who Monthly used "Vworp Vworp" to illustrate the TARDIS sound :-) With today's CGI I'd enjoy seeing Frobisher worked into the show :-D Cheers. MarnetteD| Talk 02:32, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
I followed the instructions at User:AlexTheWhovian/script-redlinks.
"TV Tools" shows up in the left sidebar, with nothing underneath it.
And "Remove redlinks" doesn't show up anywhere.
I've uninstalled all gadgets and beta features in case those conflicted, but no improvement.
Any insight you could provide, would be most appreciated.
Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:44, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
P.S.: I commented out the imports on my common.js page, for now. (So, that's not the problem, in case you look there).
It worked on two machines. Then I turned one off for the night.
The next morning the script worked on the machine that had remained on, but not on the one that was cold booted.
What libraries does the script use?
What mw:ResourceLoader/Modules does the script rely on? The Transhumanist 23:48, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
Sorry I can't find the place to talk on your page so I am disturbing it here. I recently made an edit to the twelfth doctors companions that you instantly reversed. I would like to have you know that nardole did first appear in the special for 2015 as I have seen it and have seen nardole and haven't gotten to watch the 2016 special, also according to other Wikipedia pages, such as list of Doctor who serials, the 2015 special is a season 9 episode and the 2016 special is a season 10 episode. If I am wrong please thuroughly explain to me why and also change the Wikipedia page I just linked above with my evidence. Thank you.

I'm concerned about your reversal of the edits I made at Legion (TV series). There is no evidence in the television show that the character David Haller is the son of Charles Xavier. This conflates the comic books with the television show. You have reversed every edit I have attempted to make that would clarify this point. Even if it is revealed that Xavier is Haller's father, it has not been revealed in the television show. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minnesotasteve ( talk • contribs)
I'm not sure I understand this edit summary. The press release at the Futon Critic mentions the episode title twice, firstly in the press release title, and then in the press release itself: [1]
In both instances it's "Horseman", not "Horsemen". -- AussieLegend ( ✉) 19:08, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi, for a citation, is the link to the existing article on Fables not enough? Thanks.
Many editors redirect the actor/actress/director title to the movie/TV series.
Just check the redirects one of the best film editor in Wikipedia, Captain Assassin!:

Thanks for reverting back. But I feel Softlavender doesn't fully grasp why it's being discussed, and Drmargi will likely reinstate it at some point tomorrow as they feel the matter is settled. Rusted AutoParts 07:38, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
Hey there. Noticed your ideas on the X-Men (film series) talk page. I back your argument that the individual films should be listed with headings. Given the other examples, I think that the consensus should be to change the page. -- DisneyMetalhead ( talk) 21:44, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi User:AlexTheWhovian, just wondered if the new PJDN Comic Relief episode counts as an episode. It is here [2] and here [3], thanks.
Also: is PJDN series 2 colour compliant or has that finished?-- Theo Mandela ( talk) 09:52, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Alex. I hope I am not disturbing. I was wondering, how did the last edit/revision, which was done on 14 July 2016, actually improve the template itself? I am just curious, also, I am trying to bring it to the Romanian Wikipedia, so, I need to pretty much understand all the lines in the code. Also, could you explain what is the difference between the "release date" of an episode and the "original air date"? (so that I would know what would be the best translation to Romanian). Oh, and by the way, it seems that the contrast "If" clause doesn't work on the Romanian Wikipedia for some reason (check this article on the English and Romanian version) - Victor P. ( talk) 17:10, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
How on earth is there consensus? Precisely three people (not including you, who, so far as I can tell, have not actually expressed your own personal opinion on this) have discussed the issue. Two of us have questioned the inclusion of that information, and one has supported it. You are not even discussing the issue on the merits, so I don't see why you're reverting. If adamstom97 were reverting me, that would be one thing, but "wait for the discussion to conclude" just means nothing ever gets changed, given the speed of discussions on Wikipedia over the last five years. If you care about this, make an argument for why we should include this. Don't give me a bunch of procedural BS based on nothing. john k ( talk) 22:40, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

"Since" is okay but more often refers to passage of time. So "because" is preferred when the word needs to refer to causation because "because" only means "because." When "Since" means "because" at the start of a sentence, readers must then read several words before they know which is meant. In some cases, it is quickly obvious, but in other cases, it is not clear for a bit if ever. Either way, "because" is clear from the word "because" immediately with no mental backtracking.

Hello Sire, okay, I do get your point after reading Wikipedia's guidelines. My apologies for not understanding that earlier. But rather conveniently reverting the whole edit [I spent about an hour for making relevant] through an automated-tool, at least you should keep the Netflix availability addition. And may I ask what did you meant by "primary language", as in what's the context? Because I found nothing on Wikipedia defining a thing as "primary language". Also, not to make an emotional-appeal but to reason that I occasionally do make changes on Wikipedia but completely reverting edits of someone, even if it's properly referenced will most likely dissuade editors from Wikipedia who contribute to the subjects of their interests but are still not "pro" at making edits.

Hi User:AlexTheWhovian, every Doctor Who season and series other than series 1 (2005) and series 2 (2006) use the primary colour on the cover image as it's colour, just wondered why they need to use background colours.-- Theo Mandela ( talk) 15:57, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, @ AlexTheWhovian:, I was wondering if you could tell me how or why are TV shows made italic on the Wikimedia list articles called "List of ... episodes" (example: List of Futurama episodes.
