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:

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.

Thank you.

Thank you for the warm welcome, it's great to be here.

I appologise in advance for any poor conduct (which would all be unintend) and any errors in editing technique etc, etc...

This is a great wiki and an excellent site for any Doctor Who fan.

Linking to wikipedia

Hi, in order to link to Wikipedia articles within text you don't need to add the whole web address just type for instance to The Moonstone: [[Wikipedia:The Moonstone|The Moonstone]] which gives you The Moonstone. --Tangerineduel 13:56, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Brilliant --Stillnotginger 14:20, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to link to a specific catagory/section of a wikipedia article? or a Tardis Index File article? For Instance: something on bees; can I link directly to section 1.3? --Stillnotginger 14:44, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Sure is: more stuff on bees

That's done with: [[Wikipedia:Conservation biology#Insects and other groups|more stuff on bees]]

Hope that helps. -- sulfur 14:52, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
