WIkiProject Doctor Who: September 2024 Newsletter

The Space-Time Telegraph Volume II, Issue II — September 2024 Brought to you by the editors of WikiProject Doctor Who You like Doctor Who? What's his name then? Welcome Hello and welcome to the second issue of the new newsletter! Following the success of the first newsletter we are back to write more stuff. Articles for deletion Several articles have been nominated for deletion, such as Time War (Doctor Who), and several articles have been deleted, or merged or redirected, especially those relating to books, due to lack of WP:SIGCOV and WP:NBOOK. Editors can always help either by participating in the deletion discussions (which are noted on the project page), adding to such articles, or bringing attention to other such articles through AfD or the WikiProject talk page, to aid in clean-up. Notice of Draft Articles A new Doctor Who spin-off was announced at the 2024 San Diego Comic-Con, called The War Between the Land and the Sea, and will feature old and new Whoniverse characters working for UNIT as they battle the Sea Devils. The main space article currently redirects to Whoniverse, but collaboration is currently underway in a draft article. As filming on this miniseries has recently begun, its relocation to the mains space will presumably take place soon per the recommendations laid out at WP:NTV. There is also a draft article in progress for the upcoming 2024 Christmas special. While this article won't be moved until the episode airs, any new contributions are welcome. Doctor Who News A small number of editors have recently raised questions regarding the reliability of Doctor Who News. This website is particularly used for information regarding viewing figures and the Appreciation Index of most episodes as well as some news information. If there is a better source for any information supported by this website, it should be replaced in good faith. A full consensus on whether or not to remove the information that can't be supported by a different source has not yet been reached. Any editor who has opinions on this matter should contribute to the discussion on the WikiProject talk page. Continued Progress Towards Good/Featured Content There has been lots of progress made towards recognized articles in the last two months, related to such diverse categories as series, specials, lists and episodes A sub-page has also been added to the WikiProject, to list any possible goals we can aim towards. Proposals Regarding the State of Fictional Elements Articles in the WikiProject Several proposals have been laid out regarding fictional elements in the WikiProject, which includes fictional characters, locations, and more. Due to a concerning quality state regarding the large majority of them, several methods of tackling them in order to improve these articles' quality for the future have been proposed. The primary three proposals are as follows: 1. A priority list should be made to determine what articles are most pressing and in need of improvement in the WikiProject overall. Focus would be put onto important subjects and articles in a state of dubious notability that would make them viable for deletion processes such as AfD. 2. A group of articles is selected for improvement, which are ones deemed most relevant to the WikiProject for the future. Any lesser important subjects can be sidelined and worked on as editors see fit. 3. A long term goal is made to improve all elements. This will come at the caveat of taking significantly longer and requiring more heavy participation than the above two proposals, but would guarantee a slow and steady way to solve the issue. If any editors are interested in chiming into the conversation and sharing their piece on how this should be handled, or if any editors wish to help with this proposal and improve fictional elements articles, then feel free to share thoughts at the discussion's section on the article's talk page.

User:Alex 21/script-categoriessort.js

I'm trying to use User:Alex 21/script-categoriessort.js on 0-8-4 but it isn't working for me for some reason. Any ideas? Gonnym (talk) 11:40, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Not quite sure, it just worked for me. If you press F12 in your browser and view the Console tab, do any errors appear when you run the script? -- Alex_21 _TALK 11:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

I don't see an error in the Console tab (other than unrelated analytics). I also see a warning for "This page is using the deprecated ResourceLoader module "jquery.ui"". In the network tab I see a 302 Not Modified response. Gonnym (talk) 12:07, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Apologies, then, I'm not sure why it isn't working, since it isn't error'ing. I'll keep a thought on it and test it in other browers in the meantime, though. -- Alex_21 _TALK 00:00, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

American Horror Stories

Hello,

In regards to your rollback edits on American Horror Stories, according to IMdB and the original source listed this is a continuation of season 3. http://thefutoncritic.com/listings/20240919fx01/

Media outlets refer to it as season 4, however I believe IMdB and the source that contains the press release of the company should be prioritized. Metal Asylum 94 (talk) 05:58, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@Metal Asylum 94 IMDB is not a reliable source per WP:CITINGIMDB. TFC could very well simply be using production codes; I have added a reliable source (The Hollywood Reporter) that explicitly names it as the fourth season. Do you have a source explicitly titling it "the second half of the third season"? -- Alex_21 _TALK 06:07, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

I believe the confusion stems from http://thefutoncritic.com/listings/20240919fx01/

They list the upcoming seasons as #305-309, the number 3 pointing to them being a continuation of season 3. The thing is their article comes directly from FX. Metal Asylum 94 (talk) 07:18, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

My comment above applies to that. None of the press releases listed on TFC refer to it as a continuation of the third season. -- Alex_21 _TALK 08:42, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

On that link, on the green table on the left, it mentions that the show is currently in it's third season, which consists of 9 episodes. Metal Asylum 94 (talk) 10:28, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

@Metal Asylum 94 And yet, none of the press releases do. Again, do you have a source explicitly titling it "the second half of the third season"? -- Alex_21 _TALK 10:31, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

American Horror stories s3

Hi, on official Hulu page next 5 episodes are listed as part of season 3, not 4. https://www.hulu.com/series/american-horror-stories-04d07a40-2e27-4141-aa47-cef856aeee60?dl=false Alex Visekruna (talk) 21:50, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Tales of the TARDIS

Hello. I was just wondering why you removed the episode numbers specified next to each cast member. Spectritus (talk) 12:34, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@Spectritus Per MOS:TVCAST, The cast listing should not contain an episode count, such as "(6 episodes)" or "(episodes 1–6)", to indicate the number of episodes in which the actor or character appeared. -- Alex_21 _TALK 01:27, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks for telling me that. Spectritus (talk) 08:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention.
