Hi, just an additional to the above welcome, if copying massive chunks from wikipedia please note that there should be a note such as <nowiki>{{wikipedia|City_of_Death}}</nowiki> (this should be placed at the base of the article just above the categories section. Additional to this, we try to avoid (the massive chunk copying) (replace 'City_of_Death' with name of wikipedia article info copied from) in an attempt to build a unique Doctor Who wiki (rather than a copy of wikipedia, though in many circumstances wikipedia may have surmised the article in question best and therefore it's fine to copy it).

Revision as of 10:08, 2 September 2012
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:
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.
Hi, just an additional to the above welcome, if copying massive chunks from wikipedia please note that there should be a note such as {{wikipedia|City_of_Death}} (this should be placed at the base of the article just above the categories section. Additional to this, we try to avoid (the massive chunk copying) (replace 'City_of_Death' with name of wikipedia article info copied from) in an attempt to build a unique Doctor Who wiki (rather than a copy of wikipedia, though in many circumstances wikipedia may have surmised the article in question best and therefore it's fine to copy it).
