Article of the minute The Quantel Paintbox, more usually just called "Paintbox", was an early computer graphics workstation that revolutionised the way television graphics were produced in the 1980s. Like many other visual effects seen on early Doctor Who — such as colour separation overlay, Paintbox primarily had applications in sports and news programming, but was used more creatively by the visual effects designers of Doctor Who. Although Paintbox was primarily just for adding textual elements to pictures, the Doctor Who crew ambitiously used it for colour grading and for the insertion of simple graphical elements. Though its first use was in the Fourth Doctor story, The Leisure Hive, it was perhaps more noticeably used during the Sixth and Seventh Doctor's eras, particularly to give a more "alien ambience" to certain shots. Perhaps its most obvious applications were in the stories Mindwarp (pictured), Time and the Rani and Survival. Read more... ✍ Don't like this article? Reload the page for another one!

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.
