Your account

Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.

British English, please

We generally use British English 'round these parts, so if you use another form of English, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.

Spoilers aren't cool

We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.

Other useful stuff

Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

• the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
• our Manual of Style
• our image use policy
• our user page policy

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask an admin.

Welcome back

By a vote of 5-0, your editing rights have been provisionally returned to you. The provisions are these:

• You may not request reactivation of user:Patrick Watt, nor may you create other alternate accounts on the Wikia network without creating clear links in your profile page to your secondary accounts. You were banned because you attempted to "get around" a block on your primary account. This must never happen again. We have no choice but to support — even if we do not recommend — the Wikia wide ability to create multiple accounts, but we insist that you make it incredibly clear what your alts are.
• You cannot violate any of our major policies. A single violation will result in the reinstatement of your permanent ban, with little chance of reversal. These policies include:
  • Don't vandalise (your) user pages or any other pages
  • use only valid sources when writing articles
  • Follow our image rules and guidelines
  • Don't personally attack other users
  • Don't spoil stories that haven't yet been released
  • Chat responsibly and don't be rude in discussions
  • Don't abuse the Related Videos Module or otherwise upload videos that don't comply with our video policy.
  • Don't plagiarise.
  • Understand what this wiki is not
  • Your attention is drawn to our spelling policy. Intentional conversion of British spelling to American spelling, or any indication on your part that you are not trying to use British spellings, could lead your blocking.
  • You cannot remove or alter any links from user:Dr. Anonymous1 to user:Patrick Watt or vice versa.
  • You may not delete this post or any others which indicate why this account was previously blocked. You may, however, archive such notes according to our archiving policy. In fact, it may a good idea for you to perform an immediate archive so as to start fresh.
  • You may not archive, delete or in any way change user talk:Patrick Watt or user:Patrick Watt, which have now been protected.
• If at any point, over any issue, you directly defy an admin, you will be permanently banned without chance of reprieve.

I make special note of the fact that your behaviour has been exemplary during this review process, and you serve as a model of the correct way to behave during a ban reversal process.

Your first edit upon your return must be directly underneath this message, where you acknowledge that you will comply with the terms that have been set out above.

Agreement

I agree to follow all of the above provisions, and I thank you for listening to my case. I assure you that the incident that caused all this will NOT be duplicated in the future, and if it does, I request that you take the harshest actions possible. My days of rule-breaking are over.

Thank you, User: Dr. Anonymous1 21:38, August 21, 2012 (UTC)

Messaging system

Hey, ask CzechOut about that, he's our tech admin here. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:28, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Any information of that nature would need to go in the Behind the scenes section of pages.

But as the new series is barely more than a week away from debuting perhaps wait until then and see what it reveals. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:56, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

See our Tardis:Spoiler policy. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:09, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Hypercube message

Please see forum:Hypercube message for instructions on how to customise the message box.

I'm sorry. I really don't know how to simplify my language any further. I've been asked the question a lot, so I wanted to keep my language clear. Perhaps you're not noticing that there are clickable links in the text of Forum:Hypercube message? I suggest returning to the thread, re-reading it, and clicking the links.

Signature and user page ettiquette

Please alter your signature such that it complies with the signature policy. It must contain a link to your user talk page, not just your user page. Since you've not done anything fancy to your signature, I suggest just returning to the default.

Furthermore, you cannot remove a message placed on a talk page, user talk page or forum page, even if you're the one who put it there. I know that you removed something you added to my talk page recently. Please see T:UVAN.

Note that T:UVAN was one of those pages that you just agreed to follow or you'd be kicked off the wiki for good. I'm lettin' this one slide, mainly cause I don't want to immediately trash the work that was put into your ban reversal over the last week.

I urge you to carefully read everything that was linked above.

What's up with the duplicate categories?

Please don't add duplicate categories to pages, as you did at Bessie. Please come to chat so I can try to set you right. You're blocked for 10 minutes (less now) just to put the brakes on your current editing pattern.
