Welcome to the Emersoneells

Thanks for your edits! 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 only take the best!

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:

• 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 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)

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!
