Hey Elijah! Not sure if you're aware of this, but those categories you're adding to a few TV episodes aren't for stories produced in the 20th or 21st centuries, but are instead for pages like [[1978]] or [[2017]], actual pages about years in the 20th/21st centuries. We've already got more specific categories for stories, like [[:Category:stories released in 1978]] or [[:Category:Stories released in 2017]]. If you've got the time, it would be nice if you could undo your recent edits. :) [[User:TheChampionOfTime|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT">CoT</span>]]  [[User talk:TheChampionOfTime|<span title="Talk to me">?</span> ]] 01:36, May 5, 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to the Tardis:About Diverse Awesomeness

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:

Contribution

Hello. I know you want to contribute to the Wikia, and that is completely cool, because we want more users to engage in editing and creating articles. What I would like to remind you to do is think about what you'd like to contribute with, and to take a look around this Wikia to see what exists, as your recent edits have either been uninformative or have been about something already covered on here. Thanks. And happy editing. --DCLM 11:42, May 4, 2017 (UTC)

"21st century years"

Hey Elijah! Not sure if you're aware of this, but those categories you're adding to a few TV episodes aren't for stories produced in the 20th or 21st centuries, but are instead for pages like 1978 or 2017, actual pages about years in the 20th/21st centuries. We've already got more specific categories for stories, like Category:stories released in 1978 or Category:Stories released in 2017. If you've got the time, it would be nice if you could undo your recent edits. :) CoT ? 01:36, May 5, 2017 (UTC)
