Remembrance of the TVC.

Stories are our primary sources. Not BBC press announcements.

On this site, the very core of our spoiler policy is that we wait for a story to be released before posting any information about it. So if the BBC were to announce crucial casting or crewing information, and even if they were to do it on television in a massively public way, that information cannot appear on this site until the story affected by such an announcement were broadcast.

As is said many times in this thread, and in many places on this site, if you post spoilers about stories that are yet to come — such as, but not limited to, the anniversary special and the 2013 Christmas special — your editing privileges will be revoked.

This site is about Doctor Who's past, not its future. So whatever you might have heard about Doctor Who in August 2013 is not allowed until later in the year.

Times, they are a-changin'

Over the next month or so, the front page will undergo a face lift which we hope will make our content super easy to find! And we'll be finishing up all those little formatting issues that are lingering after our 1Q 2013 overhaul to make the site more accessible to those with visual acuity issues. By June, all those colour issues that are currently driving you crazy — like illegible headers on some tables — will be cleared up. If you do see things that need addressing, please help us out by noting them at the bulletin board of colour problems that need fixing.

We also invite you to stop by the Panopticon right now to participate in a number of important discussions that will change the wiki.

Featured video: Animated Doctor Who! Ten and Martha to the 2D rescue! It's The Infinite Quest, kids!

While the front page is under construction, though, we thought we'd resurrect a bit of interactivity and give you a chance to give some fun feedback. We've already tried one poll since the finalé, and — wow! — what an overwhelming response! 3865 people voted. Of them, a whopping 2321 thought that the question, "Who is Clara Oswald?" had the best answer. The River Song mystery came in second with 1409, but Lucie Miller and Majenta Pryce had only about 150 votes between them.

So now that we've settled that pretty conclusively, let's try something new:
