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:

• 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:

• 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:

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. 23skidoo ☎ 16:28, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Block

Welcome to the wiki! Unfortunately, I had to temporarily block you for your edits. "{{PAGENAME}}" serves a technical purpose on the wiki, and is not a mistake. For example, on the date pages, it's used to avoid displaying things on the page under special circumstances.

You made over a thousand edits that had to be undone. In the future, if you think you see an issue affecting so many pages, bring it up on the forums or ask about it on my talk page. Please leave a message on my talk page to let me know you've received this. P&P talk contribs 12:13, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

I apologize for mass editing like that. I will not do it again. You could have just asked me to stop and I would have, rather than blocking me.

I thought that the {{PAGENAME}} was not necessary, because the actual name of the page could have been used instead.

As the person who had to undo most of your edits, I want to stress that PicassoAndPringles was entirely justified in blocking you to stop you from editing. You somehow managed to make almost 1500 edits in the space of an hour and a half, removing something that was absolutely not a mistake. Most of your edits were on date or day pages, on which you ignored the warning messages not to edit below a certain line. I can see missing the notice on the first few edits, but at over a thousand edits, it's almost unrealistic that you didn't even see the message.

I will stress what PicassoAndPringles told you: if you think something is wrong, ask an admin first. You can find a list of current admins at Tardis:Administrators. As you are a brand new user, you are not aware of many things that we do on this wiki. I strongly suggest you take your editing more slowly, and spend a lot of time browsing the different types of pages we have.

And lastly, instead of complaining that PicassoAndPringles blocked you, you should be thanking her for only making the block last a day. The kind of editing you did, and the insanely huge amount of it, could have earned you a permanent ban for violating Tardis:Vandalism policy. PicassoAndPringles was extremely generous with you.

I used a bot, which was supposed to correct small and generic mistakes. The bot likely replaces any {{PAGENAME}} with the actual name of the page. I did not see any warning, because I did not edit the pages manually. I realize that I should have discussed this beforehand, and for that, I apologize. I realize that the edits which I made were in mistake and that this is not a good way of introducing myself.

Please do not ever use a bot on this wiki again. Special permission is required to use a bot on this wiki, and only two users, both of whom are admins, are permitted to use a bot on this wiki. I'm not even sure how you were able to use a bot on this wiki, but it's something I will look into. Shambala108 ☎ 06:19, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

I will not.

DW

Hi! There is no need for a link to Doctor Who using the abbreviation DW. Per Tardis:Neutral point of view, doing so would require doing the same thing for all other spin-offs, which will not happen because too many abbreviations would be too confusing for users unfamiliar with the spin-offs. In addition, "DW" used to be one of our story prefixes, but we simplified the system a while back, so using DW could be confusing now that we have a new prefix system. Shambala108 ☎ 04:18, July 13, 2016 (UTC)

Okay, I see.

By the way, why did you create a new post on my wall page instead of replying to the post I created on your talk page? Did you not see that?

Zygonian

Hi! What source are you getting "Zygonian" from? Shambala108 ☎ 04:30, July 13, 2016 (UTC)

"Zygonians" were a minor species which was based on the Zygons in a non-Doctor Who video game. If the redirect page is not fitting for that purpose, you can delete it.
