Hi! You're operating under a misunderstanding of how a merge works. It's not just a matter of deleting and retyping content. A merge is designed to preserve the page history of both pages, and as such can only be done by an '''admin'''. That's why your edits were reverted. Thanks.

Welcome to the Tardis:About NickM98

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:

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! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. Doug86 06:59, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

"Gauntlet of Rassilon"

There is zero basis for that name, though. Is it even stated that the gaunlet is an Artefact of Rassilon?

Merges

Hi! You're operating under a misunderstanding of how a merge works. It's not just a matter of deleting and retyping content. A merge is designed to preserve the page history of both pages, and as such can only be done by an admin. That's why your edits were reverted. Thanks. Shambala108 04:34, February 28, 2017 (UTC)

Block is extended for the repeated violation

Initially, I only blocked you for the minimum time to explain that merges can only be performed by admins and you should not try to force them unilaterally. I was intending to unblock you as soon as this is explained. However, it turns out that this has already been explained to you, and regarding the very same page. You have by now made two editors clean up after your edits. To prevent this from happening in the future and to impress on you that you may not initiate a merge yourself just because you think enough time has passed and, in fact, cannot make the merge properly, I see no other way but to block you for a month.

Next time you feel strongly about the need to change something urgently, I advise you to contact an admin and persuade them of the emergency you are experiencing. Amorkuz 09:59, May 21, 2017 (UTC)
