Welcome to the Tardis:About StarLightNova

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. OncomingStorm12th 01:58, April 16, 2020 (UTC)

Video uploads[[edit source]]

Hi. Regarding the video you uploaded, please read through Tardis:Video policy. In the future, if you think a video should be added to the wiki, please you Tardis talk:Video recommendations. Thank you, and happy editing. OncomingStorm12th 15:06, October 11, 2020 (UTC)

Well, it's more a "set precedents" for the future situation. The video was of interest of the wiki, and should be uploaded, indeed. The only reason I redid the work was so that, in the future, if someone sees who uploaded it, they see an admin's name on the log, instead of a non-admin. This way, it doesn't create the idea that "it's okay to upload videos when you're not an admin just bc they should be on the wiki".
Oh, and another request: it's more useful that you reply to my messages on my talk page rather than your own. I don't get notified when you reply here, so it was actually just luck that I did and was able to answer you. In the future, just post them on my talk page, bc then I'll get notified and make sure I'll answer you. Happy editing ;) OncomingStorm12th 17:04, October 11, 2020 (UTC)
