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:

Series edits

Hi, I would encourage you to voice your opinions on established edits in either the Forum or on the individual page's talk pages. Your edits thus far may be interpreted as vandalism. --Tangerineduel 03:05, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

The End of Time

The End of Time is a part of the 2009 Specials, so please do not change it to Series 5. Thank You. --Bigshowbower 10:20, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not alter established edits such as The Christmas Invasion, the placement of The Christmas Invasion and other specials is established not just on that TV story page but throughout templates, guides and other articles on this wiki. I strongly encourage you to discuss these edits in the Forum, frequent reverting of edits may be considered vandalism and action may be taken should these edit wars continue. --Tangerineduel 12:25, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Final warning. Do not alter series information on story articles, any alterations to story article (or related pages) will result in you being blocked from editing on this wiki for a period of 1 week. --Tangerineduel 07:22, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

Infobox pictures

On 23 January 2010, you edited Doomsday so as to replace the infobox picture. As of today, almost two months later, you have not uploaded the picture File:Doomsday (Doctor Who).jpg. We all can forget things, especially if we're doing a lot of edits at once. I'm sure I've unintentionally forgotten to upload a picture I inserted into a page. But pictures, especially those on episode infoboxen, are rather important to the visual design of an entire page. In future, you might want to think about uploading the picture before you change it in the article. Or you might want to occasionally go back through your own edit history and remind yourself of changes you've made to articles. Either way, please remember that pictures on episode pages and major character pages are amongst the most important pictures on the wiki, due to higher traffic volumes on those pages. Thus, don't change an image in those positions without replacing it with a valid file. Thanks. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 23:00, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

11th Hour

Article title changes such as the one you attempt should be stated on the talk page. Can you cite a source that states the title is 'The 11th Hour'? Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:27, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Warning

Please do not move story articles without proof of their title changes. If you move further articles without out citable proof of the title's name this may be viewed as vandalism and action taken. --Tangerineduel 12:09, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Participating in discussions

It is vital that you sign your posts on discussion pages, and that you move your comments to a level of indentation so that readers can understand what posts have been made by which users. It is also generally thought bad form to add your comments to an earlier part of the thread. Moreover if you do place your comments "out of order" in a thread, you decrease the chance that it will be read, as many people automatically scroll to the bottom of the thread and only look there for new messages. If they don't find anything they recognize as new, they won't necessarily check the history and compare versions to find out how the thread has been changed.

So here are some tips:

This is the original post. ~~~~ (These four tildes (~~~~) sign the post.)
:This is the next post. ~~~~
::This is the post after that. ~~~~~
:::This is where your addition to the thread goes. ~~~~

Now that's a very neat thread. And most of our threads aren't quite so neat as that. Each colon (:) you add

indents

the

text.

It'd be nice if every new post went to the next level of indentation, but it isn't strictly necessary. As long as your post is on a different level of indentation as the one before it, we'll be able to easily see your post.

Thanks for contributing — just please do take a few simple steps to make your voice be heard more clearly. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 01:44, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
