Your account

Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written 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 use another form of English, 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

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 an admin.

Series edits

Hi, I would encourage you to voice your opinions on established edits in either the Forum or on the individual page's talk pages. Your edits thus far may be interpreted as vandalism. --Tangerineduel 03:05, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

The End of Time

The End of Time is a part of the 2009 Specials, so please do not change it to Series 5. Thank You. --Bigshowbower 10:20, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not alter established edits such as The Christmas Invasion, the placement of The Christmas Invasion and other specials is established not just on that TV story page but throughout templates, guides and other articles on this wiki. I strongly encourage you to discuss these edits in the Forum, frequent reverting of edits may be considered vandalism and action may be taken should these edit wars continue. --Tangerineduel 12:25, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Final warning. Do not alter series information on story articles, any alterations to story article (or related pages) will result in you being blocked from editing on this wiki for a period of 1 week. --Tangerineduel 07:22, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Infobox pictures

On 23 January 2010, you edited Doomsday so as to replace the infobox picture. As of today, almost two months later, you have not uploaded the picture . We all can forget things, especially if we're doing a lot of edits at once. I'm sure I've unintentionally forgotten to upload a picture I inserted into a page. But pictures, especially those on episode infoboxen, are rather important to the visual design of an entire page. In future, you might want to think about uploading the picture before you change it in the article. Or you might want to occasionally go back through your own edit history and remind yourself of changes you've made to articles. Either way, please remember that pictures on episode pages and major character pages are amongst the most important pictures on the wiki, due to higher traffic volumes on those pages. Thus, don't change an image in those positions without replacing it with a valid file. Thanks. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 23:00, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

11th Hour

Article title changes such as the one you attempt should be stated on the talk page. Can you cite a source that states the title is 'The 11th Hour'? Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:27, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not move story articles without proof of their title changes. If you move further articles without out citable proof of the title's name this may be viewed as vandalism and action taken. --Tangerineduel 12:09, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Participating in discussions

It is vital that you sign your posts on discussion pages, and that you move your comments to a level of indentation so that readers can understand what posts have been made by which users. It is also generally thought bad form to add your comments to an earlier part of the thread. Moreover if you do place your comments "out of order" in a thread, you decrease the chance that it will be read, as many people automatically scroll to the bottom of the thread and only look there for new messages. If they don't find anything they recognize as new, they won't necessarily check the history and compare versions to find out how the thread has been changed.

So here are some tips:

This is the original post. ~~~~ (These four tildes (~~~~) sign the post.)
:This is the next post. ~~~~
::This is the post after that. ~~~~~
:::This is where your addition to the thread goes. ~~~~

Now that's a very neat thread. And most of our threads aren't quite so neat as that. Each colon (:) you add

indents

the

text.

It'd be nice if every new post went to the next level of indentation, but it isn't strictly necessary. As long as your post is on a different level of indentation as the one before it, we'll be able to easily see your post.

Thanks for contributing — just please do take a few simple steps to make your voice be heard more clearly. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 01:44, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Sources

Please cite a source edits, your statement in the edit summary "read dalek wars" is not a reference. Please cite a text, from where the information has come. --Tangerineduel 11:39, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism

Stop adding that a Cyberman's electrical shock can rip open a Dalek's casing, and that many Daleks were killed in the battle of Canary Wharf. If you add this again, it will be treated as vandalism and an administrator will be involved. The Thirteenth Doctor 12:02, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Torchwood

Please stop adding that image to the page. Simply because the previous season used that image does not mean that the next will. Also, the image is not correctly dimensioned so it looks weird and pixelated. The Thirteenth Doctor 19:43, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

besides Starz have made a new logo with the New World tag at the bottom, ill find the picture to upload Revanvolatrelundar 19:45, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I was unaware that starz had made a new logo. I only added the Season 3 logo because it was more likely they would use that than revert to the Season 1-2 logo.Dalekcaan14 19:49, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

Info incorrect

Yes I did revert it. All the statistics you gave were incorrect. You claimed that only two Cybermen died? Not on my television they didn't. You claim there were hundreds of Daleks? You can't possibly know the exact figure, but the Doctor does put emphasis on the "millions" bit. You claim the Cybermen were winning the fight. Nope. For all these reasons I reverted you edit.

However, many of the other facts you gave were useful. The article fails to resolve the events of Doomsday so that information would be valuable. Fell free to re-add it and thank you for your contributions.----Skittles the hog--Talk 11:45, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

These facts were not correctly conveyed and so I took it to be the entire force. I don't see such a fact being useful in anycase.----Skittles the hog--Talk 12:15, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Warning: blocking imminent

Please don't edit Cyberman (Pete's World) again. If you make another edit beyond your 2:26 (Hawaiian time) edit, I will be forced to temporarily block you per T:NO WARS#Edit wars. Please take your issues to the discussion point and work with others to achieve a wording you can live with. Thanks :)
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 12:37:57 Thu 14 Apr 2011 

You have been blocked. But only for a tiny sliver of time to allow the situation at the above-named page to cool down. In this two hours that you can't edit, I encourage you to please read T:NO WARS to understand why this action has been taken. I would invite you, as well, to please bring a discussion to talk:Cyberman (Pete's World) after the two hours has expired, so that you can work with other editors to come up with a wording that you can live with.

You retain an ability to edit your own talk page, so if you have any comments about this blocking, please feel free to make them here. Please don't feel badly that you have been blocked. I am sure you meant no malice in making your reversions. We do want you editing here in the future, but we take a dim, swift and harsh view of edit warring. We want to encourage collaboration, not simple gainsaying, around here.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 12:50:55 Thu 14 Apr 2011 

Block lifted. Unbeknownst to me, our blocking policy was changed since its introduction. It was originally that one's third reversion of a page was the threshold at which one could be blocked. I see now, though, that it's the fourth edit that gets one in trouble. I apologise for prematurely blocking you and therefore remove the block. However, the point still stands. Please don't merely revert articles; take your proposed controversial edits to the discussion page and talk them out. Out of a spirit of fair play, Skittles the hog has been similarly warned that he is on the edge of violating our editing policy, so you are not being picked on.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ 13:37:08 Thu 14 Apr 2011 

It's clear to me that you strongly and passionately feel your interpretation of the scene is correct. Please post the paragraph you wish to add to the article at Talk:Cyberman (Pete's World), perhaps add this screenshot to which you refer, and invite others to consider your opinion. That's really the best way for you to get you information added to the article. Your determination to get this info into the article — matched against Revan and Skittles' adamant determination that it not go in — makes me think that perhaps you aren't saying what you mean to say. Starting a discussion on the talk page will allow other editors to collaborate with you to get a wording that both you and they can live with.

Your input is needed!

You are invited to join the discussion at Forum:Can we disable visual editor please?.

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

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!
