Hi. I see that you have been undoing [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]]'s reverts of your edits to the lists of appearances pages for each Doctor. Please don't add parantheses to the pages as we do not use that on such pages. I did very much the same mistake when I first joined the Wikia, and I wanna ask you not to do it again, ad to not start an edit-war. Your edits will be removed, but feel free to create a discussion about this so we can talk about this matter. Thanks. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:48, August 31, 2015 (UTC) | Hi.

Revision as of 17:15, 31 August 2015
HighlanderFan83Thanks 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:
- 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 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:
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 on my talk page. Revanvolatrelundar ☎ 19:58, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
Christmas cheer
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!
Ninth Doctor page
Hi there. please stop adding the sentence about "original events" to the Ninth Doctor page. The Day of the Doctor in no way changes what happened in the Last Great Time War, rather because of the timeline being unsynched the Doctor doesn't know he's saved Gallifrey and still believes that he's killed everyone. Two users have reverted your edits several times, so please stop adding this edit. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 13:09, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
- You are wrong. The Eleventh and Tenth REMEMBER the original events. And they, to quote, "never want to see it again". He knows he was alone, and now he isn't. It is wrong to say the events of Day happened as they did before. The whole POINT of Day is the Doctor redemption, and there cannot be a redemption without something to redeem about. The events of Day are a change in their timeline that they do. And I have contended the validity of this one-sided belief. Untill you can present actual argument, I don't why I shouldn't persue my belief.– The preceding unsigned comment was added by HighlanderFan83 (talk • contribs) .
- I'll tell you why. As seen at Thread:153800, there is no consensus on what you're claiming. Therefore we do not add it to the page. If we get further answers in series 8, the page can be changed but for now, please note Tardis:You are bound by current policy. Also, you have re-added your edit enough times to qualify for an edit war, so please read Tardis:Editing policy.
- If you wish to contend this further, do so on the Ninth Doctor talk page, and do not change the page again. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 14:36, June 13, 2014 (UTC)
Fair enough. Thank you for not saying that my opinion is stupid or doesn't count. :-) Template:HighlanderFan83
Also, sorry for saying you're wrong. Heat of the moment kind of thing.
List of appearances
Hi. I see that you have been undoing Shambala108's reverts of your edits to the lists of appearances pages for each Doctor. Please don't add parantheses to the pages as we do not use that on such pages. I did very much the same mistake when I first joined the Wikia, and I wanna ask you not to do it again, ad to not start an edit-war. Your edits will be removed, but feel free to create a discussion about this so we can talk about this matter. Thanks. --DCLM ☎ 14:48, August 31, 2015 (UTC)
- In general, if your edits are reverted by an admin who leaves an explanation in the edit summary, you should not revert those edits, but rather ask the admin in question why your edits were removed.
- Also, while DCLM has suggested you start a discussion on the topic, we have already covered this, most recently at Thread:141930, and there is no intention of ever allowing parentheses on appearance pages or in infobox lists. Thanks for your attention. Shambala108 ☎ 17:15, August 31, 2015 (UTC)
