Hey :) Welcome to the wiki, and thanks for reading and responding to our automated message. We're [[T:NOT SFW|not a safe-for-work wiki]], but we do think that people should [[T:ATTACKS|be civil]] in discussions. We recently had a run of bad luck with people whereby people using ALL CAPS in discussions was very much taken as shouting. It caused some friction, so we've put up some road blocks to make people stop and think about whether using all caps is a reasonable way to communicate. | |||
In the example you gave, I think that the filter was doing its job correctly. I'd recommend that you use '''bold''' or '''''bold and italic''''' text formatting, rather than ALL CAPS, when trying to provide emphasis, even if you're quoting. (You might consider, as well, whether quoting from the Phoenix Wright series will necessarily be understood here at a ''Doctor Who'' wiki.) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 23:37: Wed 05 Jun 2013</span> | |||
Revision as of 23:37, 5 June 2013
BioniclesaurKing4t2Thanks 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'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!

All caps report
Hey :) Welcome to the wiki, and thanks for reading and responding to our automated message. We're not a safe-for-work wiki, but we do think that people should be civil in discussions. We recently had a run of bad luck with people whereby people using ALL CAPS in discussions was very much taken as shouting. It caused some friction, so we've put up some road blocks to make people stop and think about whether using all caps is a reasonable way to communicate.
In the example you gave, I think that the filter was doing its job correctly. I'd recommend that you use bold or bold and italic text formatting, rather than ALL CAPS, when trying to provide emphasis, even if you're quoting. (You might consider, as well, whether quoting from the Phoenix Wright series will necessarily be understood here at a Doctor Who wiki.)
