Hi! To answer your question, a lot of new users don't really understand what the purpose of an infobox is. They seem to think that each field must be filled out as much as possible. However, on this wiki, infoboxes are just brief bits of information, '''not all-inclusive''', that are meant to encourage the user to read the article. We do not want long infoboxes, partly because the longer the infobox, the worse the layout of the page; we also want users to concentrate more on the content of the article itself. It's not really recommended to have more than one main enemy, unless it's unavoidable, and it's pretty clear in ''Doomsday'' that the Daleks are the main enemy.

Welcome to the Tardis:About Mc1934

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:

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. Shambala108 01:46, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
