Thanks for your [[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 '''[[Help:Game of Rassilon|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.<br>
== Redlinks ==
<span id="ssh">British English, please</span><br>
Hi, whenever you find a [[Tardis:Redlinks|redlink]], please don't removed them. As per our policies, they're not only okay, but rather ''wanted'' (well, that is, for any [[Tardis:Wikify wisely|"unique noun [...] ''mentioned in a valid source"]]). [[User:OncomingStorm12th|OncomingStorm12th]] [[User talk:OncomingStorm12th|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:19, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
We generally use [[British]] [[English]] round these parts, so if you're [[American]], please be sure you set your [[help:spell checking|spell checker]] to BrEng, and take a gander at our [[help:spelling cheat card|spelling cheat card]]. 
<br><span id=ssh>Spoilers aren't cool</span><br>
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 [[British Broadcasting Corporation|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 '''[[tardis:spoiler policy|spoiler policy]]''' for more details.
<br><span id=ssh>Other useful stuff</span><br>
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like: 
*[[Tardis:Help|the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages]]
*[[Tardis:Manual of Style|our Manual of Style]]
*[[Tardis:Image use policy|our image use policy]]
*[[Tardis:User page policy|our user page policy]]
*[[Tardis:Administrators|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:

The reason for this is: I get a notification when people add a message to my talk page (like the one you're getting as I finish typing this), but I won't get notifications when anyone edit ''yours''. This way, I could easily miss you answer.

Okay, now for the matter of [[The Nightmare of Television Centre (documentary)]]... unless there's something I'm missing, the ''current'' title page is the wrong one, no? At least from the title card currently in the infobox, it's '''TV''' Centre, not '''Television''' Centre.

Redlinks[[edit source]]

Hi, whenever you find a redlink, please don't removed them. As per our policies, they're not only okay, but rather wanted (well, that is, for any "unique noun [...] mentioned in a valid source"). OncomingStorm12th ☎ 15:19, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for correcting me, I wasn't sure on it because 'global warming" already exists, thanks for the heads up :) Moxxofbalhoon ☎ 15:33, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
No problem ;). Also, for future situations, please respond to messages on the other user's talk page (in this case, mine). The reason for this is: I get a notification when people add a message to my talk page (like the one you're getting as I finish typing this), but I won't get notifications when anyone edit yours. This way, I could easily miss you answer.
As for the redlink itself, it a page already exists under a different name (and both names are correct), you can always create the current redlink as a redirect page, like I did. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 16:08, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

The Nightmare of Television Centre[[edit source]]

Okay, now for the matter of The Nightmare of Television Centre (documentary)... unless there's something I'm missing, the current title page is the wrong one, no? At least from the title card currently in the infobox, it's TV Centre, not Television Centre.

Do let me know if there's any reason it should be Television, and I'll move the links accordingly. If it should indeed be TV, I'll rename the page. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 16:11, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Whoops, forgot to answer this. Well, tradition tells us to go with the name on the title card, but, since Television has usage as well, it can remain a redirect. Thanks for bringing the situation to me :). OncomingStorm12th ☎ 15:46, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
