Please do not remove fields from infoboxes, if you find content such as images or an information in an infobox field that are not present on the wiki or not factual remove the information ''not'' the fields (these are the things like |species=), do not do, as you did on the [[Kovarian]] article and remove the field. The fields of the infoboxes are useful and future editors may be able to add the information in the future, but by removing the field you place an extra obstacle in the way of adding information.

Hi! I noticed you've been adding some setting categories to story pages. Basically, if you can name a place on earth where a story takes place, for example "stories that take place in England", then you don't need to add the "stories that take place on earth" category. There is a [[Special:CategoryTree|category tree]] page that can help you narrow down your categories. Thanks!

Revision as of 05:13, 10 October 2012
EmersoneellsThanks for your edits at River Song! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!
We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia 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're American, 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
- a list of people whose job it is to help you
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:
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 on my talk page. -- CzechOut (Talk) 02:07, 2012 June 1
Do not blank pages
Do not remove all content from a page - this includes talk pages. This is considered Vandalism, action will be taken if you continue removing content from pages. If you believe a page needs to be deleted please ad a {{proposed deletion}} tag to the page with a reason for the deletion as described on the template's page. --Tangerineduel / talk 04:18, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
I apologize. I did not have any bad intent. I will not do any such action again. --Emersoneells / 04:26, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
Removing infobox fields
Please do not remove fields from infoboxes, if you find content such as images or an information in an infobox field that are not present on the wiki or not factual remove the information not the fields (these are the things like |species=), do not do, as you did on the Kovarian article and remove the field. The fields of the infoboxes are useful and future editors may be able to add the information in the future, but by removing the field you place an extra obstacle in the way of adding information. Thanks. --Tangerineduel / talk 04:22, September 17, 2012 (UTC)
categories
Hi! I noticed you've been adding some setting categories to story pages. Basically, if you can name a place on earth where a story takes place, for example "stories that take place in England", then you don't need to add the "stories that take place on earth" category. There is a category tree page that can help you narrow down your categories. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 05:13, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
