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:

Timeline articles

Just a note on the timeline articles the story references within the Doctor Who universe should be (DW: The Time Meddler) rather than just ("The Time Meddler"), also the brackets should be after the end of the sentence and full stop rather than within the sentence. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 07:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Novel of Film, Who killed Kennedy

Hi, as requested I've added some detail to the novel of the film page. Also, on Who Killed Kennedy. Yes, it isn't technically a Missing Adventure...however it was produced during that era with the Missing Adventure logo for ease of use and referencing it is listed as a MA, with a note on both the novel's page and the Missing Adventure page. --Tangerineduel 14:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Just (another) note

Just looking at your recent edit to the sonic screwdriver page. On the in-universe pages the Doctor shouldn't be written about as First Doctor, Second Doctor etc. It should be second incarnation, first incarnation, or something like that. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 17:13, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

They're allowed, but...discouraged. It's a very rough and ready way of describing it. It's yes we can describe them that way, but for the most part it's better to word it differently. (The idea, or how it was explained...wherever I originally read it) was that if a person within the Doctor Who universe read the page how they'd write it. The X Doctor names are more a sort of bridging term between the in and out of universe, hardly ever are they used in universe. (Sorry if that's a very backwards way around of explaining things, I have a tendency to ramble) --Tangerineduel 18:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
