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:

• 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. Shambala108 ☎ 06:49, June 6, 2015 (UTC)

Number of edits

Please try to make less edits and instead fit all the changes into one or two edits. It is fair enough that contributers forget some of the stuff they wanna change, but instead of 6 or 7 edits to span the changes you wanna make, try to fit it into two or less edits. You know, while changing one thing, try to change what else you wanna change in the same edit. Just a friendly tip. --DCLM ☎ 09:51, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

I would also like to suggest that you use the "preview" button to check your edits before you hit "publish". If you have a mistake in one edit in the middle of a long series of edits, it's just easier for an admin to rollback your entire set of edits than to hunt and find the one mistake. So it's in your best interest to streamline things. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 13:15, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

Silent page

Hi! Please do not ever move pages on this wiki. There are two main reasons for this:

• One, the page you moved was still under discussion. One user does not have the authority to move a page in these situations. Rather, the community agrees as a whole whether or not a page needs to be renamed/moved. This will often require discussing several of our naming policies before making a final decision.
• In addition, only admins are allowed to move pages. The move requires several steps that non-admins don't have the ability to do. When a non-admin moves a page, it always leaves behind extra work for admins. Therefore, though it is physically possible for non-admins to move pages, we don't allow it on this wiki. Please see Thread:128198 and Thread:123493.

Lastly, please make sure you read Tardis:No personal attacks. The use of the word "ridiculous" when describing a debate often leads to violation of this policy, so I want to make sure you are aware it exists. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 14:22, July 8, 2015 (UTC)

Categories

Hi! Please be careful when you edit. A few times, you have somehow accidentally deleted the categories from pages. Since I don't know how it's happening, I can't tell you how to avoid it, so make sure you preview edits before publishing. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 00:57, July 12, 2015 (UTC)

The Master

Please note that, as stated in several hidden messages on the page (some of which you accidentally removed), no user is to change the headings on The Master page. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 13:25, July 17, 2015 (UTC)

BF production codes

I noticed you've made a lot of edits at List of production codes, and I was wondering what are your sources for the Big Finish ones? In recent years, they've not been listed on the BF website, and there have never been codes for the Fourth Doctor Adventures. The code currently listed for The Burning Prince actually contradicts the one listed on the website. Are the codes listed on the physical CDs? P&P talk contribs 18:53, July 18, 2015 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the info. It might be useful to make a note on the article about the sources and such. P&P talk contribs 13:00, July 19, 2015 (UTC)

STOP!

Look, pal, I've told you I am busy, and quiet frankly, seriously stressed out because of it. So forgive me if I don't go gallivanting towards every little debate that is going on. Good day to you, sir.BananaClownMan ☎ 10:04, July 31, 2015 (UTC)
