Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written 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 use another form of English, 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

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:

Firstly, welcome to the wiki. I'm sorry if you think that the news of Rory's death should not be on the page, but since the episode has aired in the UK, it is no longer considered a spoiler (the same way that wikis for other tv shows consider aired episodes spoilers before we get to see them). But the information stays on the page. It is up to individuals to avoid pages for episodes they have not seen, especially if they do not wish to read spoilers. If you do remove information from such pages, it may be interpreted as vandalism and may end up with you being blocked. Thanks. The Thirteenth Doctor 16:05, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I've been on the wiki for quite a while now, I just didn't really want to edit anything. Dunno why, just really didn't want to become a regular editor. The page is semi-protected from anons, though, so I had to log in to my account to edit it. And the information is still on the page elsewhere, I just didn't believe it was a good idea to state at the top of the page that he died. For someone who hadn't seen it yet, and was just looking up something, that would ruin it. Or someone who came to that page by accident. {{SUBST:User:DoomZero/sig}} 19:45, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
