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:

Images

Hi! While I appreciate your adding dozens of images relating to the K9 TV series, you failed to include a category for most or all of the images you uploaded. All images must be placed in at least one category. You can find related categories for the K9 series at Category:K9 TV story images and Category:K9 recurring character images. Please do not upload any more images until the ones you've already uploaded have been categorized. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 05:22, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

I have included a category for all of the images now. And thanks for all your help. --Dynara ☎ 11:19, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Something else to make note of: whenever you add an image to an article, and the image is not in the infobox, you must add a caption to the image. You can look at the image caption on any article to get an idea of how to format it. The caption itself doesn't need to be complicated, but does need to describe the picture. Thanks.

Image policies

Hi! According to our image policies, which you can read here, we do not allow publicity/promotional images on in universe pages. Your images that I deleted were from stories that are TV/prose, so the website images were not allowed. Note that the image you added to Fuse rod, which came from a TV episode, was the proper way to illustrate an in-universe article. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 13:43, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

Ok thanks for letting me know. I will readd images from the TV show. --Dynara ☎ 13:54, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

Saw the new images you added; much better! Shambala108 ☎ 14:16, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

Great :) Thanks a lot for your help with everything! --Dynara ☎ 14:28, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

Re: SJA novelizations

Hi! I need to do a bit of checking before I can answer your questions, but I wanted to let you know I am looking into the matter. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 14:00, June 20, 2015 (UTC)

Ok, I've consulted with User:CzechOut about this. The idea is that we want to name articles by the name with which users are most familiar. Since most users would be familiar with SJA characters from the TV show, rather than the novelizations, we will keep the names as they are. This is how CzechOut suggests we should do these articles:

• article name: Cashier (Warriors of Kudlak)
• first line of article: Pam (PROSE: Warriors of Kudlak), a cashier at Ealing's Combat 3000 in at least the year 2008, hated her job ...

If you'd like to read the details of what he told me, you can read it at User talk:Shambala108#novelisations and naming. Also, Thread:167022 gives a useful bit of information on the subject. Thanks for your patience! Shambala108 ☎ 01:10, June 22, 2015 (UTC)

Infobox issue

Hi! I fixed the issue with {{Infobox Doc}} as you pointed out in your edit summary. If you're still seeing the issue on a page, add ?action=purge to the end of the url and it should go away. In the future, if you ever see a technical issue like that, please let one of the admins know on their talk page. Thanks! P&P talk contribs 17:36, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
