User talk:81.98.143.140

Welcome to the 81.98.143.140

Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

Thing is, though, to play the game, you do need to be logged in.

Don't get us wrong: you don't need to have a registered account to make a lot of great edits around here. But you may find that there are good reasons to create an account. For a start, we could call you by a name instead of 81.98.143.140.

Even if you decide not to register, you should be aware that we've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki.
British English, please
We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, 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
• a list of users whose job it is to help you

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:

One day block

I hate that my first contact with you must be to tell you that you're temporarily banned from new editing, but you've committed a bit of a no-no, I'm afraid. The {{title}} template shouldn't be used to change the apparent title away from the actual title. It's used mainly just to italicize certain words of the titles of pages, not to actually change the apparent title.

Also, you'll want to avoid phrases like "<person> is gay". I think most Americans would view that as hate speech, but because a gay writer, Russell T Davies, had Rose Tyler directly call the Ninth Doctor "gay", I guess this particular wiki can't really have policies against it.

But I do think it's uncool to use that phrase as an insult. So, although it's not against policy to say "The Doctor is gay", I'd ask you to keep that kinda talk on the down low.

Thanks, and I hope you come back to contribute more meaningfully tomorrow.
