Hi, since you are apparently new to the wiki, there are a few things you might not realize about how we do things here. We have [[Tardis:In-universe perspective|in-universe]] articles that are written in the past tense and can '''only''' contain information from stories, '''not''' the [[T:NO RW|real world]], and '''must''' be [[Tardis:Citation|properly cited]] to the story or stories in question. The information you added to [[Expelliarmus]] was what we call "real world" information and it does not belong in the main sections of an in-universe article. That's why we have behind-the-scenes sections for these articles, where real world information can be added. And if an [[admin]] ever changes or reverts your edits and you wonder why, feel free to ask on our talk pages.

::Well in response, there wasn't anything preventing you moving this information to BTS, as I've just done, since it was not incorrect per se, and it was also written in the past participle. I also am not new to the wiki FYI, I've been around for some time, just infrequently edited as I use other Fandoms more. Kind regards anyway.

Revision as of 04:03, 1 March 2022
RedWizard98Thanks 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:
- the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
- our Manual of Style
- our image use policy
- our user page policy
- a list of people whose job it is to help you
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. SOTO ☎ 22:46, December 2, 2018 (UTC)

Hi, since you are apparently new to the wiki, there are a few things you might not realize about how we do things here.

The information you added to Expelliarmus was what we call "real world" information and it does not belong in the main sections of an in-universe article. That's why we have behind-the-scenes sections for these articles, where real world information can be added.
