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:

Rumour

You removed a valid rumour, but if it's reworded and added liked you told me then we'll leave it. You may use the wording I use at the top of my page, it does help. It really annoying when people post at a random point on you talk page with no heading. Mini-mitch\talk 16:27, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ref desk

I stuck an Admin-only protection on it, should do the trick. --Revan\Talk 20:58, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Ref desk

Just noticed you cleared up the reference desk's recent vandalism. I blocked one user (95.133.47.228) for vandalising it. Do you think this enough? Thanks----Skittles the hog--Talk 21:00, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Never mind. Didn't see the above post :)----Skittles the hog--Talk 21:00, March 30, 2011 (UTC)

Protection length on articles

I just saw you post on Forum:When can we create "The Impossible Astronaut" page?, and I just thought I say I agree with you about the protection of main page time. You stated that it should only be a month. I thought I'd just say to you that I may bring this up for discussion in the forums at a later date, and I hope you will be involved in it. The current protection length is one year, which is can be seen as too long. I hope you will take a active role forum. Thanks. Mini-mitch\talk 14:49, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion

Instead of telling people to go to the talk page, why don;t you start by going. Why not just go "Talk page?" start a discussion, that way, you have made the effort to resolve something, instead of just making a situation worse. I had to start to discussion, one because you don't understand the meaning of a rumour. Mini-mitch\talk 19:17, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

I'm gonna say I have to agree with MiniMitch on this one, the person who wants a change to take place on the article should be starting a talk page discussion, not the person who wants to keep it the same. --Revan\Talk 19:25, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Spoiler policy

It always been the UK. An enw episode can air in different countries weeks after the first airing ever (UK airing), it it is very difficult to control spoilers from the UK airing to the last airing. The main page says this wiki contains spoilers, so people are aware. Also, the episode page gets filled in after the episode has aired,which also includes spoilers.

It don't think it is written into the spoiler policy, but it's always been an unwritten rule that it's after the UK air date (or wherever it airs first). Hope this answers your question, and if it does not, feel free to raise it on the forums or ask another admin. Thanks Mini-mitch\talk 19:50, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Unknown

Not a problem at all. The field simply disappears if left empty. Magic!----Skittles the hog--Talk 16:39, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Blocking Guidelines

I reverted it, as it's not a good idea to give an exact length of time a User would be blocked for, especially when it could be a minor or serious thing, which should have different block lengths. Would a User who sent someone a death treat be blocked for the same length of time as someone who swears at another User? It's something that should be in the policy, as Users could say "I may have sent a User a death treat, but I should only be blocked for 24 hours." When it should be longer. It is something that could be discussed on the forums through. Mini-mitch\talk 19:05, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

River in the Library

I'm just wondering why you keep changing my edits to the library section. Firstly, the diary and screwdriver have been previously mentioned, and so no longer need a whole paragraph. Also, her transfer to CAL is rather a big event in her 'life', and so why do you feel it doesn't need its own section? Geek Mythology 00:34, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Revertions

Thanks for reverting those edits, I've just come back online and seen it all. He's been blocked now, thanks again. --Revan\Talk 18:46, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

TARDIS page

Alot of the edits you made were already reviewed by Skittles the hog and he didn't seem to have any problem with them. They have been on the page awhile.

• "Flight: Irrelevant to flight." - The word flight is a referance to how the TARDIS travels. The article begins by stating "TARDISes most often moved through time and space by "disappearing there and reappearing here"" This was on the page prior to posting the pic. The pic itself shows the TARDIS disappearing.
• "Dimensionally transcendental: Not enought room for both pictures.)" - The pic was there awhile. It was previsly reviewed by Skittles the hog who didn't seem to have a problem with it.
• "Chameleon circuit: Completely irrelevant to the shapeshifting abilities of the chameleon circuit." - The Chameleon Circuit is designed to conceal the TARDIS in order to allow it to blend into it's surroundings like a chameleon. Shapeshifting is one way it does that, but not the only way. Invisibility is the other way. So it does fit under that catagory. MochaShakaKhan 21:27, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

Technically I you haven't given me a reason not to undo your undo, but for arguements sake, personally, would prefer another pic of a newer version of the TARDIS' console, but I disagree in regards to the idea that the console is irrelevant to flight. It belongs on the TARDIS page and in the Flight section. The reason I say this is because it has been demonstrated "that all you need is a console w/ time rotor and three walls to fly through the vortex". We see this in the episode The Doctor's Wife, The Doctor's Wife is the episode where Idris and The Doctor use left over parts from cannibalized TARDISes abandoned in the Bubble universe's Junkyard to build the Junk TARDIS. With the junk TARDIS they fly to the Police Box TARDIS which had been hijacked by House. According to the [[]]junk TARDIS wikia page "'The TARDIS consisted solely of a console (with [[]]time rotor) and three walls. It lacked a proper shell, which the Doctor stated would be very dangerous to travel without." So basically I think this demonstrates that the console is key to time-space flight and that it does belong in the flight section.

My rational for the other two arguements remain the same as before. I have nothing really to add. The pic of the inside of the TARDIS does fit. In regards to invisibility, I think it belongs in the Chameleon Circuit section, but if you want, as a comprimise perhaps we can add the exert I wrote to another section, instead of adding it to the Chameleon Circuit section. Invisibility is a feature of the TARDIS so it does belong somewhere on the page. MochaShakaKhan 03:51, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
