Hi! Thanks for your recent additions to the wiki. I have to ask, however, that you browse the wiki in general and the  [[Tardis:Tardis Manual]] in particular for guidelines on how we write articles. I don't want to throw a lot of rules at you, but the pages you created need some work to match our other pages. Thanks!

Hi! Please note that we prefer to have sources for '''all''' actor/crew birth and death dates. It's true that you will find some pages on the wiki that have unsourced dates, but a fairly recent decision was made to require sources.

Welcome to the Tardis:About Gusthegreat

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!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia 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'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:

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:

Creating new pages

Hi! Thanks for your recent additions to the wiki. I have to ask, however, that you browse the wiki in general and the Tardis:Tardis Manual in particular for guidelines on how we write articles. I don't want to throw a lot of rules at you, but the pages you created need some work to match our other pages. Thanks! Shambala108 16:03, June 7, 2015 (UTC)

Actor birth and death dates

Hi! Please note that we prefer to have sources for all actor/crew birth and death dates. It's true that you will find some pages on the wiki that have unsourced dates, but a fairly recent decision was made to require sources. Please see Tardis:Valid sources#Out-of-universe sources for details. Thanks! Shambala108 02:12, June 10, 2015 (UTC)
