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:

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 an admin.

References and brackets

Hi just a quick note. When adding multiple references they should all be within the same round brackets so for instance on your recent Second Doctor edit: (DW: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, and The Two Doctors) (EDA: The Eight Doctors) it should be: (DW: The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors, EDA: The Eight Doctors). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:48, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Master images

Good to know I'm not the only one who did all the reverting. It would take a little longer otherwise. Thanks. -- Matthew R Dunn 17:07, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Adding categories

Hiya :) Thanks for your recent efforts in adding categories to pages. Please remember to sort the pages onto which you add categories, so that they're properly alphabetized on the category page. There are two ways to do this. Either you can add the template {{DEFAULTSORT:xxxxx}} at the end of the article proper, or you can manually sort each category. DEFAULTSORT is rock solid. Add it once to a page and all categories are sorted that way. So for instance, let's say you wanted to make sure "Jo Grant" was sorted under her last name, not her first. You'd chose to edit the page, and then at the bottom you'd place this language:

{{DEFAULTSORT:Grant, Jo}}

Then you'd save the page, and all categories added would then sort Jo by her last name, not her first.

You may, however, choose to manually edit each category. It can be done without fully editing the page, and may be more appropriate if you're adding only a single category. To do it, click on the leftmost of the two symbols you see in the right corner of the blue category bubble that's created by pressing "enter" after you input the category name. From there, the wiki software will walk you through the process.

Either way, please make sure that when you add categories, they are properly alphabetized: people by their last names (if known), and things and titles by the first word which isn't an article ("a", "an" or "the"). Note, too, that sorting is case-sensitive, so "G" is a different thing from "g".
