== Page move/rename ==
{{ArchCat}}
Hi! Please note that per [[Thread:128198]] only admins are allowed to move/rename pages. Regular users do not have the ability to perform some of the steps. In addition, when you renamed Physical Assault Victim, you ignored the requested name change and gave it a name that violates our naming policies. Thanks for your attention.

== Previewing edits ==
== [[T:OFF REL]] ==
Hi! Please take the time to preview your edits before you hit publish. Several of your edits have removed categories from the articles. Because it is easier to undo such edits rather than add the categories back manually, several of your edits have been undone to restore the categories. Thanks.

Hi! I've had to clean up the majority of your edits, and I'd like to leave you with a list of policies to read so that your edits/page creations can be acceptable to the wiki. Please take some time to read the following policies:
I'm sorry that I had to prevent your editing until around that time. [[T:SPOIL]] allows for a much longer block, but I think it'd be far more helpful to simply explain, instead, so you know for next time. In case [[T:OFF REL]], is something you haven't read, or haven't quite understood, allow me to highlight the most important sentence for this:
* [[Tardis:Italics]]
:"By ''clearly ended'', we mean that you should wait, out of an abundance of caution, until the top or bottom of the hour ''after'' the end credits roll on the global premiere broadcaster's initial showing of the episode, on their primary broadcasting channel."
* [[Tardis:Spelling]]
In this case, since the episode ended at 8:10 on BBC One, the page for the story may not be created until 8:30, and it's only at ''that'' point that you can edit at all based on that story ''anywhere outside of the [[series 10 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 10]] page and [[Howling:The Howling|The Howling]].'' If the show had ended at 7:50, editing could start at 8. Top or bottom of the hour, for absolute clarity, means the first time a clock would hit :00 or :30 after the time at which the show stops airing.
* [[Tardis:Honourifics]]
* [[Tardis:Use sentence case]]
* [[:Category:Categorisation]]


In addition, please read [[T:NO RW]] to make sure you understand the limits of what we allow on articles about real world people, places, etc. And once again I have to remind you to proofread your edits. You are still removing categories during several of your edits. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:28, September 7, 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for taking this policy seriously, as we do, and for keeping [[T:OFF REL]] in mind for next week and beyond. If this is a problem again, consider this a first warning. Your temporary ban will be lifted as soon as I make the page for the ep.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 19:32, April 15, 2017 (UTC)
 
== Karn image switch ==
 
Hi! I took the image of Karn from ''Prologue'' and made it the one for the infobox. The old one is still on the Karn article but now moved to the area covering the Last Great Time War. Hopefully this sorts things out. I appreciate that you tried to switch the images. It's just that the old one illustrates an important moment from one story and it's better to upload a brand new image and keep the old handy! Thanks anyway! --[[User:Thunderush|Thunderush]] [[User talk:Thunderush|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:00, September 11, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Page move revisited ==
 
Hi! I've already asked you once to leave the page moves to admins. Please do not move pages yourself. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:46, September 12, 2015 (UTC)

T:OFF REL[[edit]]

I'm going to post the same thing I'm putting at user talk:StevieGLiverpool. Your enthusiasm is appreciated. However, we take T:SPOIL very seriously here, and T:OFF REL, a subsection of that policy is very clear on when a new story is officially released, and ceased to be a spoiler.

I'm sorry that I had to prevent your editing until around that time. T:SPOIL allows for a much longer block, but I think it'd be far more helpful to simply explain, instead, so you know for next time. In case T:OFF REL, is something you haven't read, or haven't quite understood, allow me to highlight the most important sentence for this:

"By clearly ended, we mean that you should wait, out of an abundance of caution, until the top or bottom of the hour after the end credits roll on the global premiere broadcaster's initial showing of the episode, on their primary broadcasting channel."

In this case, since the episode ended at 8:10 on BBC One, the page for the story may not be created until 8:30, and it's only at that point that you can edit at all based on that story anywhere outside of the series 10 page and The Howling. If the show had ended at 7:50, editing could start at 8. Top or bottom of the hour, for absolute clarity, means the first time a clock would hit :00 or :30 after the time at which the show stops airing.

Thank you for taking this policy seriously, as we do, and for keeping T:OFF REL in mind for next week and beyond. If this is a problem again, consider this a first warning. Your temporary ban will be lifted as soon as I make the page for the ep.
