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:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Moving pages

Hi, please note that per Thread:128198, only admins are permitted to move pages on this wiki. In the future, please use {{rename}} or {{speedy rename}} instead. However, as you pointed out, since the subtitles use Appalapachia instead of Apalapucia, I won't undo the renaming. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 17:03, November 2, 2020 (UTC)

Actually, matter of fact, let me just check it before I deleted the old name: are the subtitles you're using from BBC iPlayer? Becuase "Apalapucia" has also been used on official media (at least the Handbots' page on the BBC use this spelling, not Appalapachia. If you're seeing this spelling on iPlayler (or another official streaming service/DVD), could you provide a screenshot, please? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 17:09, November 2, 2020 (UTC)
