WELCOME TO THE FRONT PAGE OF THE TARDIS INDEX FILE! | |||
---------------------------------------------- | |||
You will note that none of the content of the front page is actually on the front page. For ease of maintenance, all sections of the front page are in a | |||
template of their own. Those templates follow the naming pattern {{Doctor Who Wiki/Section Name}}. When those templates are used on this page — | |||
and ONLY when they're used on this page — they can be called by dropping "Doctor Who Wiki", as with {{/Section Name}}. This is achieved by linking | |||
the subpage with the name of a section to the template with that name. Thus, there is the article subpage: Doctor Who Wiki/Comics and the template page, | |||
Template:Doctor Who Wiki/Comics. If you create a new section, you need to create both an article subpage and a template page of the same names. | |||
Changing the name of the front page will turn the page into a series of red links. Note that if you want to edit the actual content of the page, you have to click the little symbol | |||
of a hand holding a pen (✍) within that section. | |||
Why have we radically changed the coding of the page? In part to protect against vandalism. The front page cannot be totally destroyed by just one | |||
action. Rather, each individual section must be attacked for the page to be seriously compromised. It is now possible to fully lock the main page without | |||
sacrificing any great editability. New sections can be created, inspected, and vetted before they appear on the front page. And the regular maintenance of the | |||
page is now made much easier by allowing editors to jut concentrate on the one section they want to change. No more hunting through lines of obscure | |||
code to find the bit that changes the "Quote of the week". Now you just click on the edit symbol close to the "QOTW", and change away. Easy. | |||
In terms of actual code used to create the page, it's fairly simple, but it's also fairly precise. You can certainly change the order of different sections. You can certainly add sections. But note | |||
that the left and right columns operate in peculiarly different ways, which must be observed when making any changes. | |||
======= | |||
Left Column | |||
======= | |||
The following creates the left column. The sections must be precisely here, placed out in a line unseparated by line breaks. Their order, left to right, | |||
indicates their order, top to bottom, on the page. (Note that televised episodes are actually included in the /Top template. They are always to be at | |||
the top-most part of the page. --> | |||

<!-------- | |||
Right Column | |||
---------- | |||
The following creates the right column. Note that unlike the left column, these sections are simply typed in an ordinary fashion, with a line break | |||
between them. The trick when figuring out what to put in each column is to try to balance the columns as much as possible. The left column | |||
should be about as long as the right column. This is difficult, and fairly impossible to achieve precisely. Remember to allow for the advertisement | |||
which appears on the right column. Remember too to set your browser width at no more than about 1024px for testing; preferably pull your | |||
browser window width down to the point that the two columns stop collapsing on each other. That way you can guarantee the way this page | |||
will appear on most browsers. --> | |||

 This wiki contains spoilers. Read at your own risk. We were founded on 11 November 2004 and are currently working on 113,821 articles. Listen to the Doctor and friends!
 The First Doctor Adventures is a series of full-cast audios featuring David Bradley reprising the role of the First Doctor from the 2017 Christmas special Twice Upon a Time. The Doctor is travelling with Susan, Ian and Barbara voiced by the actors who previously appeared in the biographical television film An Adventure in Space and Time. Latest booksStripped for Action!
 The Incomplete Death's Head was a 12-part comic mini-series which reprinted 18 stories featuring the Marvel Comics character Death's Head. The comic is extremely unique for featuring Doctor Who universe concepts such as the Seventh Doctor and Hob alongside explicit Marvel cameos, with flashbacks including such characters as She-Hulk and the Fantastic Four. This was one of the most explicit examples of the Doctor himself being presented as existing inside the Marvel Universe, aka Earth-616. Popular categoriesIf you're new to wikis, it might be helpful for you to take note of the concept of categories. Categories are the principal organizing tool on a wiki, allowing users to group information in ways that can ease the discovery of information. All the pages on our wiki are found, ultimately, in just four big "super categories". If this is your first visit here, please go to Floor 500 for a discussion of the way our wiki is organized. ✍
