Have you started a Doctor Who wiki in a language other than English? Great! Here's how you go about linking to us.

Have you started a Doctor Who wiki in a language other than English? Would you like to be able to easily create interlanguage links between your page on, say, the Eleventh Doctor, and our page? If so, just contact an admin and give us a link to your new wiki. We'll take a look at it and then put in a request to link our two wikis together.

Please note that, unless you have recently forked, we cannot grant new requests in:

  • Bulgarian / Български
  • Dutch / Nederlands
  • Finnish / Suomi
  • French / Français
  • German / Deutsch
  • Hebrew / עברית
  • Italian / Italiano
  • Polish / Polski
  • Romanian / Română
  • Russian / Русский
  • Spanish / Español
  • Portuguese / Português
  • Welsh / Cymraeg

We can only have one wiki per language, and we already have affiliates in those languages.

Please also note that if your new wiki is hosted on Fandom (previously known as Wikia), you will not be able to link back to us. We'd advise hosting elsewhere, and are open to requests for satellite hosting on our own servers, but can make no promises about that. All this will be made easier by donations, by the way. If you are hosted independently, on our own servers or otherwise, we are happy to give you a subdomain of tardis.wiki (e.g. fr.tardis.wiki for a French wiki). Simply contact Bongolium500.

The rules

There is only one rule to this process:

  1. You must have at least 30 pages of content (in namespace 0) before we can grant your request. We want to make sure that you're growing your wiki and attracting a few editors to help you.

Tardis Admin note: After you've reviewed the request and found it acceptable, you can add the new interlanguage prefix at Special:Interwiki.
