Hi. What are ''[[The Megéve Experiment]]'' and ''[[Doctor at Sea]]''? Are they fanfilms, documentaries, or both? If they are a fanfilm, they should not have pages on this wiki as [[Tardis:Valid sources#Rule 2|we don't allow pages on the majority of unlicensed productions]]. Certainly, they should not be cited on in-universe pages or included on lists of appearances as they are not [[T:VALID|valid sources]]. If they are instead documentaries, they should still not be cited on in-universe pages or included on lists of appearances because [[Tardis:Valid sources#Rule 1|they're not fiction]] and so not [[T:VALID|valid sources]]. Please can you clarify for me what these actually are?

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.
The Megéve Experiment and Doctor at Sea
Hi. What are The Megéve Experiment and Doctor at Sea? Are they fanfilms, documentaries, or both? If they are a fanfilm, they should not have pages on this wiki as we don't allow pages on the majority of unlicensed productions. Certainly, they should not be cited on in-universe pages or included on lists of appearances as they are not valid sources. If they are instead documentaries, they should still not be cited on in-universe pages or included on lists of appearances because they're not fiction and so not valid sources. Please can you clarify for me what these actually are? Bongo50 ☎ 17:53, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
