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:

BBC DVD coverss

Hi, when uploading BBC DVD covers it would be of assistance to select 'BBC DVD covers' from the license drop down menu.

Additionally be aware of the white space around many DVD covers on various sites, as when used on this wiki the white space around the covers can make using them in thumbnails and galleries look somewhat odd.

Also please look around at story pages as several of these already have DVD covers that do not have the white space around them. Thanks --Tangerineduel 06:41, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Title cards

It would be of huge assistance when you upload screenshots as they are to select the 'screenshot' licence from the drop down menu. This both adds the screenshot licence tag and adds it to the screenshot category. It also means editors don't have to go through each and every image you upload and do it manually. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 16:59, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hello. It take a some time to manually add the license tags to the images you upload, all of that time could be cut out if you just select, as I requested the 'screenshots' menu item in the licence drop down menu when you upload images. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 15:24, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Delete tags

Please do not remove delete tags until the issue has been resolved, as on "The Unearthly Child -- Pictures" page. Thank you! Musedae 14:53, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
