Welcome, thanks, and a tip :)

Hi :) Thanks for creating Corsair! I did notice that you went to a lot of extra work you didn't need to in order to link to Oroborus. You don't have to put in the full URL. In fact, it's really not desirable that you do so. Much easier just to put the word in two double brackets, like this:

[[Oroborus]]

That's it! Nothing difficult about that at all. Indeed, Once you type the opening brackets and a few letters, the system will automatically search for matches, so you don't even have to type out the whole word!

Thanks again for your work, and if you need any help, please lick on the telephone next to my name and leave me a message.

Oooooh, yeah: couple of other points. As a matter of stylistic convention, this wiki doesn't capitalise "the" before the name of a person. For instance, it's "the Master", "the Rani", "the Doctor" — not "The Master", etc. Also, the topic of an article should be emboldened on its first use in an article. So:

The '''Corsair''' was . .  .

not

The Corsair was . . . 

You'll probably find it useful to read the Manual of Style before getting too stuck in around here.

Thanks again and happy editing!

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
