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:

Warning!

Notes have been left on this page warning editors of writing information that has no proper sources. For example Silurians and made up titles which you have placed on the Series 5 page. If you continue to place incorrect information you will receive a vandalism ban which could last for up to 2 weeks. -- Michael Downey 19:14, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

If you read it correctly I am stating about the titles you are putting out there that have not been confirmed but rumoured such as 'Cold Blood'. I know the Silurians are real but there have been many warnings to editors putting the information about them returning on pages because an UNCONFIRMED actor has confirmed them. Which can not be taken as real at this present time unless sourced from a reliable reference such as the BBC itself. -- Michael Downey 22:48, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Spoilers

I know that The Pandorica Opens has a spoiler tag on it, but there is a limit as to how far we can go. Who is appearing etc is acceptable, but things like the concept art which are major plot spoilers shouldn't be on the page. Just for future reference.
