== 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. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:08, September 4, 2015 (UTC)


== Editing policies ==
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.'''


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)
 
== Real world ==
 
Hi! Please carefully read [[T:NO RW]]. Many of the pages you've created have information that was never mentioned in a DWU story. We don't allow real world information on [[Tardis:In-universe perspective|in-universe]] articles. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:25, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Policies ==
 
Hi! It's great that you are so enthusiastic about editing on this wiki. However, almost every edit you make or page you create has violated at least one of our policies. I need you to take a break and read through all the policies I've linked above, and take a look through [[:Category:Policies]] as well. I don't have time to keep cleaning up after your edits, especially with the huge volume of newcomers we will be getting starting today.
 
In addition, please do not change the images in the story infoboxes. They were chosen by one or more admins, who completely understand our image policies, to fit the story. And please take a look at [[Tardis:Game of Rassilon rules]]. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:21, September 19, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Videos ==
 
Hey. I've deleted the video you uploaded because it violates our [[T:VID|video policies]]. I will copy over the main sentence here: "Only videos uploaded by the copyright holder or official licensee may be used on any article pages, talk pages or forum pages." So if it's not from the official Doctor Who channel, BBC, BBC America or BBC Worldwide, it probably isn't allowed here.
 
We are very strict about videos here at Tardis, so this will be your only warning. If you'd like to suggest a video which we do not have, please go to [[Tardis:Video recommendations]] and post a link there. An admin will add the video for you if it does meet our requirements.
 
Please read all of [[Tardis:Video policy]], as well as all the policies that Shambala has linked to above, before continuing to edit here. If you have any questions, please come to me or another admin. If you're unsure if something's okay, don't do it: just ask.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 13:33, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Re: Images ==
 
Hi! I had to delete most of your images because they violate some policy or other, which I indicated in the deletion summary. Please read through '''all''' the image policies at [[thread:148148]] before uploading any more images, as we have '''very strict''' image policies on this wiki.

== Valid sources ==
 
Hi! Please note that the transcript site is '''NOT''' a valid source on this wiki. You must make yourself familiar with [[Tardis:Valid sources]] and [[Tardis:In-universe perspective]] before you create any more pages or add any more information to articles.

== User pages ==
 
Hi! Please note that it is against [[Tardis:Vandalism policy]] to edit other users' user pages. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:43, September 24, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Once again ==
 
Please read [[Tardis:Spelling]] and [[Tardis:Honourifics]]. We use British spelling and grammar on this wiki, and editors are expected to do their best to follow these policies. Also, I had to add a cleanup tag to several of your new articles because you put "humanoid" in the infobox but "human" in the category. It's one or the other, so please change the articles to fix this. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:04, September 26, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Real world/infobox ==
 
I'm getting tired of having to repeat myself. You must read through and understand [[T:NO RW]]. I deleted the pages you created for Robert DeNiro and Taxi Driver because there is no mention of them in the story you cited. '''We don't make assumptions that the real world is the same as the DWU.'''
 
Also, you will have to change the infobox on your user page. "Infobox individuals" is for story characters. The only infobox available for users is "Infobox user". Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:11, September 26, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Plagiarism ==
 
Hi! Please don't add material from other websites to this wiki. As stated in [[Tardis:Plagiarism]], we only want original material on this wiki. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:46, September 26, 2015 (UTC)
 
== "Liked" ==
 
Hi! There are probably dozens and dozens of characters in the DWU who like [[chocolate]] and red [[wine]]. Please try to make your entries about Clara on those pages a little more interesting than just "Clara liked..." Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:17, September 30, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Real world info revisited ==
 
Please read through '''both''' [[T:NO RW]] and [[Template:FTRW]]. You absolutely must not put information on in-universe pages from the real world that is not stated or seen in DWU stories. Your continued breaking of this policy may result in your edits being completely reverted and/or deleted.

== Question ==
 
What is the purpose of this page you created: [[User blog:CzechOut/Opera 10 and 11 having problems with the new editor]]? [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:55, October 2, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Stubs ==
 
Hi! Please stop putting <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> on pages. We have dozens of more specific stub tags that should be used instead. <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> should only be used when there is no more specific tag available. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:54, October 3, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Big Finish Release Dates ==
 
Big Finish releases are never released on the stated date; research news items for release on the website and use the date of those. [[User:Notsimonpegg|Notsimonpegg]] [[User talk:Notsimonpegg|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:32, October 4, 2015 (UTC)
 
Technically, yes. However DWM is always written a month or so in advance. The wide release of the title is the end of the month but it is not the initial release. Therefore what it says on the Big Finish site will always be more reliable. If we want accuracy, the end of the month date is never the one to go for. [[User:Notsimonpegg|Notsimonpegg]] [[User talk:Notsimonpegg|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:50, October 4, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Block ==
 
By my count, I have instructed you to read [[T:NO RW]] and abide by its policies '''three separate times'''. Since you have ignored these instructions, and continue to violate the policy, you are blocked for a week to give you time to read through '''all''' the policies I've cited on your talk page. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:23, October 4, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Images ==
 
Hi! I had to delete a bunch of your images because you've ignored our rules on image size. I've given you a bunch of policies to read; it's up to you to read them. Keep in mind that [[Tardis:You are bound by current policy|you are bound by current policy]], whether you read them or not; continued ignoring of policy will result in the deletion of your work and possibly another block.

T:OFF REL[[edit source]]

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.
