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:

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask an admin.

Rory

Thanks for the clean up of his joining the Doctor. I wrote it really quickly, so I was hoping someone else would come along and clean it up for me. I was working mainly off of memory from last night. Thanks again! Musedae 20:26, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

No problem at all. That's what the community is hear for. Mc hammark 20:27, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Time field

Hi, I've semi-protected the page (which means no unregistered users can edit it) and changed the move permissions for the page so only admins can move it. Any other issues feel free to leave me a message and I'll try to be of assistance. --Tangerineduel 04:33, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Subpages

Pretty much the same as user pages, see Tardis:User page policy for more info and get back to me if you've got any other questions. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:49, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

thank you very much for fixing the Lucy Saxon article Sclera1 00:54, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Quote of the Week

Oh...I knew I forgot to do something. I do usually remember. Very occasionally I do forget (I think this past week there was a lot of vandalism and I was distracted.).

If you want take it on I'd be fine with that, just be sure, when updating the quote of the week it's done by GMT and that the quote that's voted goes into the quote of the week archive (there's also a link to the archive at the bottom of the nominations page), if you're going ahead add whichever quote was nominated for this week (you could even change it for the...however many hours we've got until it needs to be changed if you'd like). The formatting of the archive is pretty straight forward.

Any questions, issues, problems or anything feel free to ask. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 17:19, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hi, in updating this week's quote of the week, I noticed something a little odd in the archive, you added the quote to the archive but used the whole web address to link Queen Victoria and the story name. The original nomination wasn't linked in that way so I was just curious...why? Thanks for updating the quote for those few hours (as I said I do try to keep it updated on time). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:03, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Did you copy and paste from the edit box (by clicking edit first and then copying the text, that's what I usually do) or by copying just the page's text?

Also on a totally unrelated matter, the edit you made to the Time Field page wasn't a minor edit, minor edits are stuff like correcting minor spelling, punctuation etc, Wikipedia has a detailed definition; Wikipedia - Help:Minor edit. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:47, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Clarification on semi-protected page editing

Hiya - Hope this is the right place to ask? Just have a question regarding who is eligible to edit semi-protected articles, I just joined the other day and notice I am prevented from editing all articles with semi-protected banners even when logged in - it tells me that the pages have been locked to prevent editing, though others who I don't believe to be admin seem to be able to edit them. Just want to make sure this is not some kind of bug I am experiencing. cheers DreamSong 09:38, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Synopses

They should be user generated, however often the synopsis is taken from the BBC's site. The addition to it seems fine. Additions and alterations of stuff like that is what a wiki is all about. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 03:10, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks :)

Yeah that was what I wanted to know, thank you very much for showing me :) -- Michael Downey 11:05, May 22, 2010 (UTC).

Quote of the week

You can vote for your own quote. Do you think this should be explicitly stated? It's stated you can nominate more than one, but only vote on one, but doesn't explicitly state that you can vote for your own nomination (though people do both in quotes and the feature articles)> Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:17, June 12, 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!
