Doctor Who Wiki/Article of the month Quote of the minute
- Eighth Doctor: I don't generally travel alone. Usually I have one or more companions.
- Asha Qureshi: Oh like assistants?
- Eighth Doctor: More like . . . friends.
- "Juliet Walsh": So what happened to the last one? Couldn't they hack they pace?
- Eighth Doctor: "My last one" is off on travels of her own. And she set the bar pretty high for you lot. I've relied on my companions for help, advice, an alternative perspective and general camaraderie. I've relied on their skills, knowledge, bravery and sense of morality. You need to be self-motivated, as we'll often have to split up to get things done faster. But also capable of working harmoniously with me and anybody else who might join us in my TARDIS. That's my time and space machine, incidentally.
- Asha Qureshi: Oh, yes, it says that in the pack.
- Eighth Doctor: What I don't want is selfishness, close-mindedness, disloyalty. That's why I've asked you four here today: to find out which of you has what it takes. Any questions?
- AUDIO: Situation Vacant

Popular categories
If you're new to wikis, it might be helpful for you to take note of the concept of categories. Categories are the principal organizing tool on a wiki, allowing users to group information in ways that can ease the discovery of information. All the pages on our wiki are found, ultimately, in just four big "super categories". If this is your first visit here, please go to Floor 500 for a discussion of the way our wiki is organized. ✍
Real world On our wiki, the world we actually live in is called the "real world" . As such, information about the production of Doctor Who and her sister shows are in this category. This includes pages about the actual televised episodes themselves, the behind-the-scenes personnel, terminology used by the production teams, and merchandise related to the shows.
|
Time-Space Visualiser The Time-Space Visualiser is the place where most of this wiki's pages reside. All the articles are written from an in-universe perspective, quite different to what you might be used to on Wikipedia. Here you'll find information related to The Doctor, his companions, Other individuals, astronomical objects, time travel, species, locations, science, culture, and a whole host of other subjects.
|
Non-DWU material Notwithstanding writer Paul Cornell's famous comments that denounced the concept of "canon" in Doctor Who, our canon policy does deem a few things to be outside the Doctor Who universe. For examples, visit: stories, characters, technology, species, and locations.
|
The Hub This category contains articles having to do with the actual running of the wiki. It's full of all those little pages that help the wiki work. As such, it isn't accessed often by most users. However, more advanced editors might wish to peruse the templates category for ways to make their editing easier. Or if you're looking for a place to start editing on the wiki, you might want to look at articles that need updating, major expansion, general copy-editing, sectional cleanup, and re-writing from an in-universe perspective.
