I'm somewhat puzzled by your recent article talk page edits. The information for example on the [[Dreams of Empire]] article talk page would be perfect for the Notes section on the talk page. But as I said I'm somewhat puzzled by you placing it on the talk page. It means for much of the (often useful and interesting info) has to be copied and pasted to the main page from the talk page, and whoever does the copying and pasting is recorded in the page's history as contributing the information (rather than you). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 12:33, December 30, 2009 (UTC) | |||
Revision as of 12:33, 30 December 2009
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:
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.
Articles - Past Tense
Please make sure when you create articles they are in the past tense. Thank You --Bigshowbower 10:02, December 17, 2009 (UTC)
Recent article talk pages
I'm somewhat puzzled by your recent article talk page edits. The information for example on the Dreams of Empire article talk page would be perfect for the Notes section on the talk page. But as I said I'm somewhat puzzled by you placing it on the talk page. It means for much of the (often useful and interesting info) has to be copied and pasted to the main page from the talk page, and whoever does the copying and pasting is recorded in the page's history as contributing the information (rather than you). --Tangerineduel 12:33, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
