Welcome to the Panopticon!

Like its namesake, our Panopticon is the home of our greatest debates. Here we discuss the maintenance and the development of the wiki itself.

It is open to all users — you don't even have to have edited a single article to post here. The more voices that flow through this forum, the stronger our wiki will become. Have an idea about how to improve the wiki? Don't understand why we do things as we do? Notice the same problem across several pages? You've come to the right place.

Please note that, unless specifically authorised by an admin, this forum is completely spoiler-free. This forum isn't really the place for discussions about the narrative, anyway. Indeed, the Panopticon is not to be used for general conversation or off-topic discussions that do not directly concern the editing, philosophies or policy framework of the Tardis Data Core.

In general, any issues that relate to specific articles should be posted on that article's talk page. However, some issues are complex enough to merit discussion here. And, of course, if your point may have implications for other, similar pages, it's best to bring the issue here. Whenever an editing issue affects multiple pages, it's really a policy issue more than a small-scale inquiry.

Archives of this forum, including many important discussions that are still relevant to the way we do things on this wiki, are located at Forum:The Panopticon/Archive.

Please remember to sign and date your posts by typing four tildes ("~~~~").
