A new Tardis, at last

As we do every holiday period, we're giving back to the larger Wikia community this season by participating in a a live test of the new article prototype design. It gives us a chance to finally prune back our CSS and JS and start over with a dramatically different design. While we do this, expect that the site is going to look a little — maybe even a lot — weird.

How can you help speed things along? File reports on things that you think are "off". Go to our article prototype board and start a new thread. Screenshots will be very helpful with your reports, so don't be afraid to include them!

Thanks everyone! And, please, have a safe and enjoyable holiday period!

Go live with some otters

Last time, on Doctor Who
File:Meet the Gang! - 'Time Heist' Preview - Doctor Who Series 8 - BBC
If you're going to rob a bank, it's important to trust your co-conspirators.

Brand new Doctor, same old rules

We define spoiler to be any information — be it narrative or behind-the-scenes — which surrounds any story in any medium that has not yet been released. It doesn't matter if the source is The Sun or the British Broadcasting Corporation — it's a violation of our policies to write about un-released stories, or the casting and crewing of those adventures.

Remember, we're not a news site. We're an encyclopaedia. Our focus is on what has already happened in the DWU, not what is to come.

In order to uphold this policy in 2014, we will occasionally have to restrict editing to only those people who have accounts. If you want to guarantee yourself the ability to edit once Peter Capaldi starts his run, we strongly recommend that you sign up for a totally free account today.

For clarity, information about any episode of the series is not allowed before roughly 9pm British time on the Saturday of transmission.

We will honour that deadline in our social media feeds, as well. And we will never give away major spoilers in social media. But if you live in, say, Alaska, yore going to be a few hours behind London. Our editing restrictions end before you will have seen the current episode. Plan accordingly.

Doctor Who is a "family franchise", which means there's something in it for all ages.
It does not mean that all content is appropriate for all ages.
