Hi! Please note that all images uploaded to the wiki '''must have the proper license'''. If you plan to upload images to the wiki, please read our image policies, located at [[Thread:148148]]. | |||
In addition, we have two kinds of articles on this wiki: [[Tardis:In-universe perspective|in-universe]] and [[Tardis:Out-of-universe perspective|out of universe]] (also see [[Tardis:Point of view]]). In-universe articles are '''always''' written in the past tense. We also have a pretty specific way of citing stories, which you can read about at [[Tardis:Citation]]. | |||
I know this seems like a lot to throw at you, but we have a lot of policies, and it's easy for new users to come up against one or more policies on their first edits. But most people who stick around get the hang of things pretty quickly. Thanks!

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'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!

Some things to keep in mind[[edit source]]
Hi! Please note that all images uploaded to the wiki must have the proper license. If you plan to upload images to the wiki, please read our image policies, located at Thread:148148.
In addition, we have two kinds of articles on this wiki: in-universe and out of universe (also see Tardis:Point of view). In-universe articles are always written in the past tense. We also have a pretty specific way of citing stories, which you can read about at Tardis:Citation.
I know this seems like a lot to throw at you, but we have a lot of policies, and it's easy for new users to come up against one or more policies on their first edits. But most people who stick around get the hang of things pretty quickly. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 20:40, October 30, 2014 (UTC)
