You will note that none of the content of the front page is actually on the front page.  For ease of maintenance, all sections of the front page are in a
{{Mainpage Box Friends}}
template of their own.  Those templates follow the naming pattern {{Doctor Who Wiki/Section Name}}.  When those templates are used on this page —
{{Mainpage Box New to Who}}
and ONLY when they're used on this page — they can be called by dropping "Doctor Who Wiki", as with  {{/Section Name}}.  This is achieved by linking
{{Mainpage Box Series}}
the subpage with the name of a section to the template with that name.  Thus, there is the article subpage: Doctor Who Wiki/Comics and the template page, Template:Doctor Who Wiki/Comics.  If you create a new section, you need to create both an article  subpage and a template page of the same names.  Changing the name of the front  page will turn the page into a series of red links. Note that if you want to edit the actual content of the page, you have to click the little symbol of a hand holding a pen (✍) within that section.

Why have we radically changed the coding of the page?  In part to protect against vandalism.  The front page cannot be totally destroyed by just one
</div>
action.  Rather, each individual section must be attacked for the page  to be seriously compromised.  It is now possible to fully lock the main page without sacrificing any great editability.  New sections can be created, inspected, and vetted before they appear on the front page.  And the regular maintenance of the page is now made much easier by allowing editors to jut concentrate on the one section they want to change.  No more hunting through lines of obscure code to find the bit that changes the "Quote of the week".  Now you just click on the edit symbol close to the "QOTW", and change away.  Easy.
 
In terms of actual code used to create the page, it's fairly simple, but it's also fairly precise.  You can certainly change the order of different sections.  You can certainly add sections.  But note that the left and right columns operate as different components — albeit with exactly the same syntax.
 
=======
Left Column
======= 
The following creates the left column.  The sections must be precisely here, placed out in a line unseparated by line breaks.  Their order, left to right,
indicates their order, top to bottom, on the page.  Note that televised episodes are always to be at
the top-most part of the page, so {{/Television}} should always follow {{/Top}}.    -->

Right Column
----------
The following creates the right column.  The syntax is  just like the left column.  The trick when figuring out what to put in each column is to try to balance the columns as much as possible.  The left column
should be about as long as the right column.  This is difficult, and fairly impossible to achieve precisely.  Remember to allow for the advertisement
which appears on the right column.  Remember too to set your browser width at no more than about 1024px for testing; preferably pull your
browser window width down to the point that the two columns stop collapsing on each other.  That way you can guarantee the way this page
will appear on most browsers.  -->

Welcome to the Tardis! We've regenerated.
This is the main wiki for the beloved BBC action-adventure and science-fantasy franchise Doctor Who... alongside spin-offs like Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Class, and so many others.

We've now gone independent! See announcement for details.

Your cosmic joyride awaits
Following the 60th anniversary specials and The Church on Ruby Road, the TARDIS is now home to Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday, still under the watchful eyes of Russell T Davies's Bad Wolf crew. Click below to find out more!
New to Who?

Intimidated by the long history of Doctor Who? No need. You'll be able to jump right in with the next season, come springtime, and enjoy it as a brand new show! These four concepts are probably all you'll actually need.

Doctor Who isn't the only series set in the Whoniverse to air on TV. Check out some others!

Doctor Who is a "family franchise", which means there's something in it for all ages.
It does not mean that all content is appropriate for all ages.

There's more than just TV

You can certainly choose to enjoy Doctor Who as purely a television series. But did you know that there are far more stories told in the comic and audio form than exist in the whole television catalogue? Luckily, there's no such thing as canon in this fandom. So you can enjoy exactly the kind of Doctor Who you prefer. And we'll be here to cover it all!

Take a trip in the memory TARDIS!
Tales of the TARDIS logo 2.jpg

Tales of the TARDIS is the first new spin-off to join the Whoniverse on BBC iPlayer. Each episode comprises a classic Doctor Who story edited into one omnibus-style episode, bookended by new scenes featuring members of the original cast in "a remembered TARDIS". It's a great place to start dipping your toes into Doctor Who's older stories, or to revisit old favourites!

Running from the Black Guardian?

Try out a random article from the Tardis Wiki! Like the Fourth Doctor's randomiser, this will take you anywhere in time and space... mostly Earth in the 20th or 21st centuries. Who knows what you'll find?

Listen to the Doctor and friends!
Hour of the Cybermen.jpg

Big Finish's main range of Doctor Who audio stories features the adventures of mainly the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Doctors, complete with large casts, sound effects and scores. Though some original-to-audio companions are occasionally used, the line typically features the original lead actors seen on television.

Stripped for Action!
Frobisher Morphs.jpg

Where Nobody Knows Your Name — intentionally titled after the Cheers theme song — was an Eighth Doctor comic story set in a bar. More character study than adventure, it stressed the complexities of friendships between long-lived shape-shifters like the Doctor and his former companion, Frobisher.

Enter the Game Station
DW Computer Game First 1.jpg

The First Adventure was a video game released in late 1983 for the BBC Micro. The title was, fittingly, the first officially licensed Doctor Who video game. Months earlier, an unlicensed game titled Doctor Who Adventure had appeared in Computer & Video Games, a gaming zine. The First Adventure featured the Doctor traveling through several areas to save his companion, with most levels being based on other popular games of the time.
