The TARDIS Index File's Vandalism and unhelpful content policy is continually evolving and being updated, below are some guidelines.
Vandalism
If a user creates a page of obvious vandalism e.g: swearing; "fill in empty links"; etc, one of the following actions will occur:
- If they are an unregistered user their IP will be blocked for upwards of 6 months.
- If the user is registered they will be blocked for upwards of 1 year.
If a user alters/edits/removes all content from the page in a deliberate form of vandalism then one of the following actions should occur:
- If they are an unregistered user their IP will be blocked for upwards of 3 months.
- If the user is registered they will be blocked for upwards of 6 months.
Unhelpful content and Unintentional Vandalism
Unhelpful content and unintentional vandalism are articles which do not serve a purpose and have no information or are incredibly sparse in information. (exactly what this amounts to is decided on a case by case basis).
A warning such as:
- "Please do not add unhelpful or unconstructive content. This is a warning."
- Should it continue
- "Please do not add unhelpful or unconstructive content. If you continue to in your actions you may be blocked from the TARDIS Index File for [amount of time]."
These warnings should be placed within the user's talk page with a link to the page(s) as an example, also in order to assist the user the {{Welcome}} (for registered users) or {{Welcome IP}} (for non-registered users) should be present.
If a user's actions continue following warnings, the user will be blocked for a period upwards of 1 month.
Altering of personal pages and postings
This section relates to users altering other user's personal pages, be it their User page, posts in the Forum or on article talk/discussion pages.
In all cases other users should not change or adjust anything that has been written by individual users on their personal pages, if a user believes something is incorrect, inflammatory or otherwise offensive a message should be placed on the user's talk page, or a message on an Admin's talk page making them aware of the problem.
If a user persists in altering another user's personal pages, the user may be blocked for a period upwards of 2 hours until an understanding can be achieved.
Leaked images and un-sourced information
Leaked images and un-sourced information should not be posted, any information posted on the Doctor Who Wiki - TARDIS Index File should have a Doctor Who media source (ie TV, novel, comic strip, audio drama, etc) or a factual based information source.
