Hi! I'm going to have to stop you from continuing this project for the moment. I can't count how many times I've seen someone go through a lot of work, only to have it undone for reasons they weren't aware of. So before you continue this project, can you please ask [[User:CzechOut]] if this is a valid project? That way, if it violates some policy or wiki coding issue, you won't have to waste your time.

:On second thought, don't bother CzechOut. As [[User:Tybort]] correctly pointed out in his edit summaries, "Categories and subjects based in the Time-Space Visualiser supercategory must be written from an in-universe perspective. Can't use "characters of" anything unless they're fiction within the episode." It can sometimes be difficult to understand the distinction between in-universe and out-of-universe, but if you take a look at [[Tardis:Point of view]], [[Tardis:In-universe perspective]] and [[Tardis:Out-of-universe perspective]], you will get a clearer idea.
:The good news is that you didn't get very far in the project so haven't wasted much time but hopefully learned a little about this wiki. Thanks! [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:30, June 3, 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to the Tardis:About Thedw11

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:

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:

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

"Characters from Season blank" categories[[edit source]]

Hi! I'm going to have to stop you from continuing this project for the moment. I can't count how many times I've seen someone go through a lot of work, only to have it undone for reasons they weren't aware of. So before you continue this project, can you please ask User:CzechOut if this is a valid project? That way, if it violates some policy or wiki coding issue, you won't have to waste your time. Thanks ! Shambala108 19:35, June 2, 2014 (UTC)

On second thought, don't bother CzechOut. As User:Tybort correctly pointed out in his edit summaries, "Categories and subjects based in the Time-Space Visualiser supercategory must be written from an in-universe perspective. Can't use "characters of" anything unless they're fiction within the episode." It can sometimes be difficult to understand the distinction between in-universe and out-of-universe, but if you take a look at Tardis:Point of view, Tardis:In-universe perspective and Tardis:Out-of-universe perspective, you will get a clearer idea.
The good news is that you didn't get very far in the project so haven't wasted much time but hopefully learned a little about this wiki. Thanks! Shambala108 01:30, June 3, 2014 (UTC)
