Hi, now that I have more time, I would like to establish a better understanding between us. First of all, please don't be discouraged by my deleting or undoing some of your edits. It is great that you are fleshing out the recent Torchwood (and not only) audios. We certainly appreciate editors who show potential of becoming regular and productive contributors. But, as happens with virtually every editor at first (including me), the editing enthusiasm inevitably causes one to cross one or other of our multiple policies. Some of the policies, like [[Tardis:Spoiler policy]] cause immediate deletion in most cases (and carry a very real possibility of a ban in case of repeated violations). Images for BF audios is my personal project. I spent '''a lot''' of time cleaning them up and bringing them in line with our image policies. Thus, I patrol new uploads to make sure we do not fall back into the old ways when a 1M+ image could sit on the wiki for years, eating everyone's mobile data. I will upload images for ''Aliens Among Us'' tonight myself. Hopefully, it would give you an idea of what is expected. | |||
I listened to all eight stories very recently and, thus, can provide you with qualified advice on how to wikify them correctly. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of doubt. To be clear, I am not planning to work on these audios myself: have too many projects already. But I would love to give you a helping hand since you seem to be interested in doing so.

Revision as of 19:58, 28 January 2018
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:
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. Josiah Rowe ☎ 15:31, December 29, 2017 (UTC)
Images
Sorry, I had to delete your images. They were simultaneously too narrow and too large. Please make sure that on the future your images are no larger than 100k and no narrower than 500px for covers. (420px is sitewide minimim.) Amorkuz ☎ 11:59, January 28, 2018 (UTC)
