Hi! I've had to remove some of your recent category edits, and I wanted to let you know why. | |||
Our category system is structured so that we only put the most specific category name on a page. For example, on many of the K9 pages you put the categories [[:Category:Robots]] and [[:Category:Individual robots]]. However, the Individual Robots category is a subcategory of the Robot category, so we do not put both on a page. Before putting a category on a page you can go to [[Special:CategoryTree]] and type your desired category in the field to see if there is a more specific category already on the page. | |||
A general guideline would be that if a page has been around for a while, it will probably have all the categories it needs, and if you think one is missing you should check the Category Tree first before adding it. | |||
In general, it's also a good idea to click on the category link before you add it so you can take a look at the description (if it has one) and the other pages in the category. This will help determine if the category fits the page you want to put it on. Thanks!

Revision as of 04:31, 16 April 2013
ThunderushThanks 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:
