(This discussion should really be carried out on the article talk page). The answer is in how the article is written, they're fictional concepts, created for Donna and Lee, they weren't characters in and of themselves. As such I didn't see the nessecity of them. Additionally should they be kept, how should they be categorised? They're sort of [[:Category:Fictional characters]] but not in the commonly accepted manner, they're sort of [[Category:Personifications of concepts]] but not really either. I suppose they could be categorised in [[:Category:51st century individuals]], but the question is are they individuals only when we see them at the end with Song? As the rest of the time they're fulfilling a role to keep Donna and Lee sated and safe? --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 14:34, 25 July 2008 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 14:34, 25 July 2008
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.
What I like in Doctor who
Hello every body I am a true fan of Doctor who and all its spin-offs. Such as Torchwood and the Sarah Jane adventures. What pages I like to edit. I like to edit as much as possibley can. I would like to Edit after an episode has been broadcast. But I have a few good pionters for any one who looks at this page. Make Templates for
- Space Ships
- Citys
- Alien Races
- Battles and extraterestrail events that have happened such as the Adipose beem or the Slitheen insisdent.
My favourite Characters
- Martha Jones
- Rose Tyler
- Donna Noble
- and of course the Doctor
Recent edits
Looking at some of your recent edits, all in-universe articles should be written from a past tense point of view. Out-of-universe articles should also be written from a past tense point of view within reason (for instance actors who are still alive should be written in present tense). Additionally, it would help not to create pages for people who have yet to appear in episodes as we currently do no know the full names of characters (titles are not names and therefore should not be included within the wikilinks). Also on a side note your above notes would perhaps be best suited to User:Catkind121 (your user page, rather than here the talk page). --Tangerineduel 17:32, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
What did I do wrong?
Excuse me but I recently added some categories to the Jenny article and could not help but notice that you removed them when you made your edits (good job on that by the way). I don't feel angry or upset about this but I really would like to know why you removed them so I can avoid making potential mistakes in the future, Thanks in advance. -- Omegabrain 19:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Wikilinks / tags in real world articles
Just curious as to the reasoning behind tags such as (<!-- *{{Wikipedia|}} -->, <!-- *{{imdb name|id=|name=}} -->, <!-- [[Real World|]] --> etc) you may have noticed they don't do anything. Please don't add them they generally just make the edit box cluttered and hard to edit. To add a wikipedia link, inline it is [[Wikpedia:Wikipedia article name|Words you wish to appear in article]] (example: Agatha Christie), for a wikipedia box that links out it is {{wikipediainfo}} example: see the DNA article for an example of the wikipedia link box. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:56, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
