| <div id=glow><div id=sfh style="font-size:150%;line-height:110%;text-align:center;">'''Welcome to the [[file:Wiki-wordmark.png|Tardis:About]] {{BASEPAGENAME}}</div>{{tardis manual}}
| | {{ArchCat}} |
| Thanks for your [[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 '''[[Help:Game of Rassilon|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.<br>
| |
| <span id="ssh">British English, please</span><br>
| |
| We generally use [[British]] [[English]] round these parts, so if you're [[American]], please be sure you set your [[help:spell checking|spell checker]] to BrEng, and take a gander at our [[help:spelling cheat card|spelling cheat card]].
| |
| <br><span id=ssh>Spoilers aren't cool</span><br>
| |
| 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 [[British Broadcasting Corporation|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 '''[[tardis:spoiler policy|spoiler policy]]''' for more details.
| |
| <br><span id=ssh>Other useful stuff</span><br>
| |
| Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
| |
| *[[Tardis:Help|the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Manual of Style|our Manual of Style]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Image use policy|our image use policy]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:User page policy|our user page policy]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Administrators|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:
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]]
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tutorial|Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial]]
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture tutorial|Picture tutorial]]

| Hi there :) Please remember that the word '''the''' should never be capitalised unless it is at the beginning of a new sentence. This applies for the Doctor as well. This is one a of the policies of this wiki, please follow it. Many thanks. [[User:Mini-mitch|MM]]/<small>[[User talk:Mini-mitch|Want to talk?]]</small> 00:14, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

| |
| I stopped in there and had a look earlier in the week. Everyone has pretty much said what needs to be said, I was going to cite the forums Shambala108 cited and CzechOut has represented the points I would have. I have added my support to theirs. I have also locked the article for 3 weeks while the discussion continues. Thanks for messaging me. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 14:10, January 29, 2013 (UTC)

| ==Wiki problems==
| |
| Any problems that seem aligned to the underlying structure of the wiki, quirks of its function and the like I would suggest waiting 24 hours before worrying about. The Wikia goes through periodic hiccups where things go awry on occasion, they often rectify themselves with a little time. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 16:47, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

| ::Then, as it's affecting you on multiple wikis it's probably not a problem with this wiki.

| == Floor 500 ==
| |
|
| |
| Hi! Regarding your recent edit to [[Floor 500]]...If you just put <nowiki>[[Category:Floor 500]]</nowiki> on the page, it will put the page in that category. If you want to '''show''' the category name, just put a colon : in front of the word category, like this <nowiki>[[:Category:Floor 500]]</nowiki>. Thanks!

| == Inappropriate fourm post ==
| |
| Please note that our forums are ''exclusively'' about editing or promoting '''''this'' wiki'''. Your recent post about the ''Waterloo Road'' wiki has therefore been deleted, as allowed by [[T:FORUM]]. Please don't post to the forums in this manner again. Thanks. :) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 16:36: Thu 06 Jun 2013</span>

| |
| == Edit removed ==
| |
|
| |
| I removed your recent edit to [[Talk:Tenth Doctor]] as irrelevant to the discussion. It is not your job to decide or even discuss whether someone else's post violates [[Tardis:No personal attacks]]. This particular post has already generated some questionable behavior; we don't need editors commenting on each other's tones.
| |
|
| |
| You may not have seen an offensive tone to the poster's edit, but as an admin I have to look at it from the perspective of a new editor who might happen on the topic and find his tone insulting. The "no personal attack" policy specifically warns against the type of thing he posted. Thanks!

| Check out ''[[Doctor Who: Regeneration]]'' and ''[[The Nth Doctor]]'' both of which mention the [[Leekley Bible]] which was a {{w|Bible (writing)|series bible}} for a possible new ''Doctor Who'' TV series. If you can find both ''Regeneration'' and ''The Nth Doctor'' they're well worth a read. ''Regeneration'' is worth it for its glossy pictures and great detail about the Leekley bible and other things leading up to the TVM and ''Nth Doctor'' is worth it for the detailed breakdowns of scripts that might have been. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 13:02, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

| == Eleven picture ==
| |
|
| |
| Since you've looked at the policy, read the section titled "tight focus". In addition, your image had no license so it's been deleted. If you upload it again, make sure to include a license.
| |
|
| |
| It's common practice on this wiki to use the talk page '''first''' if you want to change the infobox image of a popular page. If you think your image is better, bring it to [[Talk:Eleventh Doctor]] first. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:41, March 2, 2014 (UTC)

| == Understanding [[T:DISCUSS]] ==
| |
| Howdy :) Thanks for your edits to [[Talk:Cass (The Night of the Doctor)]]. If you're just searching [[T:DISCUSS]] with the "find" feature of your browser, it's likely true that you will not find the word "speculate". You may therefore feel that speculation on the talk page is okay. That's not the case. The guideline simply words things in a different way. What it says is that discussing the quality of the narrative is disallowed. The edits that you restored quite clearly speak of qualities the narrative has. To reduce confusion, we may specifically include the words "do not speculate" at a later date, but it's not necessary o convey the meaning that would disallow the edits you've restored.
| |
|
| |
| The larger point is that talk pages are for figuring out how to edit the article, not discussion of the narrative points of an episode, which is otherwise known as "offering an opinion" or "speculation". Now, granted, it is a fine line. Sometimes you need to understand what happened in an episode in order to know how to edit the page. But I feel that [[user:Shambala108|Shambala108]] took the appropriate course of action in this case. The original question on the page had been answered, and those edits that she removed really weren't aimed at discussing the episode's content in order to edit the page better. They seemed to me, and other users like [[user:Tybort|Tybort]], to be just free-ranging speculation.
| |
|
| |
| Please understand that the reversion of your edits does ''not'' mean that you are unwelcome here. We need you! But it's important that talk pages be, inasmuch as we can make them, dedicated to editing the page to which they're attached. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 00:30: Tue 11 Mar 2014</span> <staff/>
