Thanks for your [[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 '''[[Help:Game of Rassilon|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!


We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.<br>
Hi there!
<span id="ssh">British English, please</span><br>
We generally use [[British]] [[English]] round these parts, so if you're [[American]], please be sure you set your [[help:spell checking|spell checker]] to BrEng, and take a gander at our [[help:spelling cheat card|spelling cheat card]]. 
<br><span id=ssh>Spoilers aren't cool</span><br>
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 [[British Broadcasting Corporation|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 '''[[tardis:spoiler policy|spoiler policy]]''' for more details.
<br><span id=ssh>Other useful stuff</span><br>
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like: 
*[[Tardis:Help|the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages]]
*[[Tardis:Manual of Style|our Manual of Style]]
*[[Tardis:Image use policy|our image use policy]]
*[[Tardis:User page policy|our user page policy]]
*[[Tardis:Administrators|a list of people 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:
I was just wondering if you could edit your contribution at [[Howling:Theories on John Hurt|''Theories on John Hurt'']] so it's a little easier to understand. I've been trying to work out what you are trying to say, but there are a bunch of misspellings and seemingly missing words that make it really difficult to read. Just asking so that I don't end up misunderstanding you!

Can't quite understand @ Howling[[edit source]]

Hi there!

I was just wondering if you could edit your contribution at Theories on John Hurt so it's a little easier to understand. I've been trying to work out what you are trying to say, but there are a bunch of misspellings and seemingly missing words that make it really difficult to read. Just asking so that I don't end up misunderstanding you!

Yes, that helped quite a bit. Thanks for doing that. Milar Kayne 21:08, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
