Hi, thanks for your edit at [[Vespiform]]. There were a couple of fixes that needed to be made, which I did. Since this is a large wiki with a huge amount of subject matter, we have a lot of rules. They are located at [[:Category:Policies]], but since I don't want to scare you away with a ton of rules, I'll just call your attention to the things I had to fix: | |||
* [[Tardis:Italics]] we italicize all story titles | |||
* [[Tardis:Citation]] for the most part your edit was correct in this respect, but the policy page will show you the correct format | |||
* [[Tardis:Doctors]] we capitalize "Doctor" and the incarnation number, so "Thirteenth Doctor". Please see the cited page for more about this topic. | |||
Keep in mind that since we have a lot of rules, you will probably run afoul of many as you edit here. This is perfectly normal for new users (and in fact for every user; so many rules are hard to remember). Don't let that discourage you from editing here. If you have any questions you can always ask me or another [[admin]]. Thanks [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:45, July 21, 2019 (UTC) |

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:
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. 23skidoo ☎ 16:48, July 21, 2019 (UTC)
