== 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. Thanks [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:38, September 20, 2015 (UTC)
 
== 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:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:11, September 23, 2015 (UTC)
 
== 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. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:36, October 1, 2015 (UTC)
 
== 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. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:08, October 12, 2015 (UTC)
 
== New pages ==
 
Hi! Please add a category to the pages you created today. Stub tags are '''not''' a substitute for a proper category. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:37, October 15, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Re: Martha Jones page ==
 
The Martha Jones page is locked because one of the admins is working on the infobox and doesn't want it to be changed while he's working on it. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:12, October 17, 2015 (UTC)
:One question; does the site incorporate section-protection? In other words, can just the infobox be protected from editing? [[User:SniperKing1|<font color="B8860B">Sniping is Awesome</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:SniperKing1|<font color="800000">Speak to the Sniper</font>]]</sup> 12:47, October 17, 2015 (UTC)
 
==LEGO Dimensions==
Please do not create any pages for LEGO Dimensions. Per [[Thread:176459]] the only page allowed is the game's own page, as this discussion is still ongoing and parts of the game unreleased. Thanks. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:54, October 17, 2015 (UTC)
:Thank you, Danniesen. As they said, the discussion is still ongoing, and until we reach a definite conclusion, so further pages on the topic should be created. Come by the discussion if you have what to add. Thanks for your patience. :){{User:SOTO/sig}} 18:08, October 17, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Stubs revisited ==
 
Like I said above, stop adding <nowiki>{{Stub}}</nowiki> to pages when there is a more specific stub tag available. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:09, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
:For the record, any category can be found by going to [[Special:Categories]]. For stubs specifically, they are located at [[:Category:Stubs]]. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:48, October 18, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Headings ==
 
[[Tardis:Use sentence case]] — please read it and use it. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 01:05, October 20, 2015 (UTC)
 
== PAST tense ==
 
Please read [[Tardis:In-universe perspective]]. All in-universe articles are written in the past tense. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:49, October 20, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Block ==
 
Blocking you for a week so you can read '''all''' the image policies located at [[Thread:148148]]. If you're not going to read and abide by these policies, maybe you should stop uploading images to the wiki. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:56, October 21, 2015 (UTC)
 
== London list of appearances ==
 
Hey, I just wanted to let you know the reason for the deletion of the page "London - list of appearances". I will quote from [[User:CzechOut]]'s reason for deleting a similar page: "When making an appearances page, it's very important to ask the question, "Am I going to be able to give a reasonably full list of most every usage in every DWU story?" If the answer is no, don't make the list." Please see [[User talk:SOTO/Archive 1#Page deletion]] to get the context of his entire message. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:15, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Recent edits ==
 
This is the last time I will tell you to read and follow [[Tardis:Use sentence case]]. If you can't follow simple rules like this one, your edits may be removed.
 
Also, please make note of the corrections I made to the following pages: [[DJ (The Runaway Bride)]], [[Mark Haste]], [[Dock worker (The Next Doctor)]] and [[Matthew Alick]]. Thanks.

== Dent Road ==
 
Hi! Where did the name [[Dent Road]] come from? [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:59, October 31, 2015 (UTC)
:Ok, I saw the behind the scenes section you added (and incidentally, once again, you've violated [[Tardis:Use sentence case]]), and I need to know: does the road sign appear in the episode at all, or is all the information taken from the reference book? [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:56, October 31, 2015 (UTC)
::And another question: where does [[Diamond Plains]] come from? The episode or a reference book? [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:57, October 31, 2015 (UTC)
Dent Road is fine if you can see its name in the episode, but not Diamond Plains. It's been deleted. We don't allow  reference books as a source for in-universe pages. See [[Tardis:In-universe perspective]] and [[Tardis:Valid sources]]. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:02, October 31, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Re LEGO Dimensions ==
 
Please note that the discussion at [[Thread:176459]] has not been resolved in any way, and the edits you've been making to other pages regarding the game must be removed. Please remove these edits as soon as possible. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:27, November 4, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Policy violation ==
 
Hi! Your edit at [[Malta]] was a violation of [[T:NO RW]] (which I have repeatedly warned you about). I '''strongly suggest''' you read the discussion between [[User:CzechOut]] and another user who repeatedly violated this policy. CzechOut gives a lengthy discussion on what we do and don't allow regarding real world information. His comments are located at [[User talk:OverAnalyser#Seriously, no real world information]], and the user's comments/questions for CzechOut are located at [[User talk:CzechOut/Archive 13#resent prior message that I just realised that I had forgotten to sign]]. As you can see, we take this policy very seriously. This is the last warning I will give you regarding this policy. Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:03, November 6, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Spoilers ==
 
Hi! Please make sure you don't leave spoilers in your edit summaries, as you did for your edit at [[Series 9 (Doctor Who)]] (see [[Tardis:Spoiler policy]]). Thanks! [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:40, November 9, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Sleep No More ==
 
[[T:OFF REL]] states that we cannot make episode pages until the top or bottom of the hour after it finishes airing. As such, you shouldn't have made the ''[[Sleep No More (TV story)]]'' page at 8.45pm, which is 15 minutes before the episode ended. Instead, you should have waited until 9.30pm. If an admin had been active in that period the page would have probably been deleted. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|21:55, 14/11/2015}}
 
:This is now your second offense of [[Tardis:Spoiler policy]]. Most violations of this policy result in a block, because we take this policy very seriously on this wiki.
 
:I'm coming to the conclusion that you don't read the policies that I put on your talk page. Per [[Tardis:You are bound by current policy]], you are bound by policy regardless of whether or not you read it. Please keep that in mind as you edit. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:35, November 14, 2015 (UTC)
 
== Image links ==
 
Could I ask that you don't link to images using <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, and instead just use the filename? If the page gets moved, which has happened twice on pages you've put an image on, the image link has to be changed as well. Thanks! '''[[User:PicassoAndPringles|<span style="color:#002B7F">P&amp;P</span>]] [[User_talk:PicassoAndPringles|<span style="color:#FCD116;font-size:0.6em">talk</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/PicassoAndPringles|<span style="color:#CE1126;font-size:0.6em">contribs</span>]]''' 02:17, November 17, 2015 (UTC)
 
:You've been blocked for two weeks for ignoring these instructions. Just because P&P asked nicely doesn't mean you can ignore her instructions. I counted six violations of this before I gave up. You can't just ignore instructions  and hope that someone else will clean up after you. Please keep this in mind.

== "They" ==
 
"They" is not the quantum shade. The Quantum shade is litterally the raven. They is the force behind "Face the Raven"  who blackmailed Ashildir into sending the doctor to the veil. Who is in the next episode. Please do not add anything about the next episode onto the page since that is not canon. yet.

== message on user talk page ==
 
Hi! The message you left on [[User:NarnianAslan1]]'s talk page, "I am well aware of canon rules as I have been editing longer an have more edits than you." is a problem for two reasons.
* We don't have canon rules. See [[Canon]], [[Tardis:Canon policy]] and [[Tardis:Valid sources]].
* Your comment that you know more since you have more edits and editing time than another user comes close to violating [[Tardis:No personal attacks]]. In addition, if you look back through your talk page, you will see that you have received multiple messages about violating policy, some more than once. You are still too new a user and too unfamiliar with our policies to take that tone with a relatively new user.
Thanks. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:35, November 22, 2015 (UTC)
:Here's the best thing to do: reveal the root of the problem. CybermanFan, why are you ignoring above advice? It's baffling. It'll only earn you a 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.
