Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia 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're American, 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
• a list of people whose job it is to help you

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:

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 on my talk page. CzechOut ☎ 14:12, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Images

Hi! Please read Tardis:Image use policy and Tardis:Guide to images before you add any more images to articles. I had to remove your edits to Rutan Host and Order of the Headless because the images violated several policies. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 15:15, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

Heya :) Thanks for trying to illustrate some of our articles! It's really important, though, that you follow our basic rules. These can be found at T:ICC and T:GTI. However, the quick summary is below:

• photos and screenshots must be jpgs or pngs — not any other format
• images should be no narrower than 420px
• infobox images must clearly illustrate their subjects at 420px widths
• files must be appropriately licensed

The main reasons your work has been deleted today are:

• You've gone above 100kb in size
• Your pics have been portrait-oriented, rather than widescreen
• At least some of your pics were taken from publicity shots, rather than screenshots from stories. This violates our policies.

If you take a little time to read our policies — and especially our illustrated guide to images, I think you'll soon be contributing successfully to our wiki.

Thanks :)

I see that User:CzechOut has already answered your question of why I deleted your images. I'd like to point out that, in future, if you have a question about edits, check the edit summary first. I explained why I was deleting your images in the edit summary, then I explained on your talk page why I was deleting your images. All this happened before you asked your question on my talk page. It's true that not everyone leaves an edit summary or any kind of explanation, but it's better to check for one first. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 22:11, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

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!
