Your account

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:

Hi. Please don't forget to let me have a look at your thesis on timlines when it is done.

As for Rory I've decided to let him rest in peace; not even look for if I go there the cycle will continue ever on. I learnt my lessons in sci.skeptic and other hellholes of sceintific discorse a couple of decades ago about trying to convince people about what is and what is not a sceintific and for all the effort from all the parties I doubt if one person was ever convinced to move on way or another. No doubt the invisible pink unicorn, dinosaurs with necks too long to be explained by science, sceitfic theories of creationalism, alien visitation and so on still live there just as they always did.

Anyway don't forget the thesis.

Cheers. Jack (I will so _totally_ deny your timeline if you dis me) Chilli

My thesis will take me a good few years to write, but I as I move forward with it, I find myself becoming more and more a theorist of time. Maybe my whole academic career will be about time. who knows? But it's all good fun. I'm happy to chat about random aspects of my (very unscientific :P) theories, if you are interested. I can even make them vaguely relevant to the whoniverse if I try, I'm sure. My only issue is not having it openly published on the internet, because that leads to problems surrounding originality of work and self plagiarism when it comes to my thesis. But I do like talking about it.

I'm glad you've been the bigger man, withdrawing from that futile argument. Kudos. :)

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!
