Your account

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:

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!

Hey

Hey, welcome (back, technically) to the Tardis. Great contributions so far. :)

Just a few things I thought I'd point out, though.

• File:Bisme.jpg unfortunately had to be deleted because it was under 250px in width, but more actually because it was unsourced. You put the right licensing template, which is certainly a great step, but if it's a copyright image as the template says, you should at the very least link to the source of the image (as the template also says, as it happens).
• Actors are not the characters they play. Your addition to Daryl Crittenden would be better suited on the page for the young man, which you could easily create using the character preload. You can take a peak at T:IU and other pages within the manual of style if you're unsure of yourself.
• Sources are meant to be formatted like: TV: Rendition. So a link to TV, colon, and then a italicised link to Rendition. In wikitext — which you can edit in by clicking on "classic editor" in the edit dropdown, or by clicking "source editor" under "more" while editing with VisualEditor — this is: [[TV]]: ''[[Rendition (TV story)|]]''.

On another topic, any idea what happened what made Bisme Katusi start off with the main page under it? I'd love to have that weird bug squashed.

Also, do your Miracle Day edits mean you're working on finally adding TW series 4 to your site? I'd love that. I find your work very helpful. :)
