Thanks 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:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

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. -- Doug86 (Talk) 10:22, April 14, 2013

Eighth Doctor reversion

Hey there. I reverted your edit because your edit structured the sentence as a list, which instead of being finalised with an "and", just ended, after only two points were made. Because of this it made more grammatical sense to leave the "and" in the sentence. --Revan\Talk 18:58, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

Recent edit

Hi! I saw your recent edit and wanted to let you know that if you come across something that doesn't seem to make sense, you can add the {{what}} tag, which shows up as "statement unclear". Shambala108 ☎ 04:27, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Game of Rassilon

The day of the year badge was in fact removed temporarily, as the pages are currently under construction (by me), and we don't really want to encourage edits there. I cannot tell you when the badge will be back, but, if all goes as planned, they'll return soon enough.

Badges

Hey there, I'll redirect your message to CzechOut, who is our tech specialist here. He should leave a reply here once he's read your message. Thanks for letting me know. --Revan\Talk 22:49, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

Not all badges are always available. The "days of the year" award track is not currently open. I don't ono what you mean by "a Troughton and Pertwee appearing willy-nilly". Could you be more specific, please?

I don't spend a lot of time looking at other people's badges, so I'd never seen the thing you're talking about with Revan's page. I can only confirm that this does appear to be a bug of some sort, but at the moment I'm treating it as particular to Revan's page. It's probably more of a display issue than him actually earning those two badges more than once. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say he might have earned some other bronze awards, and it just didn't draw those other awards properly. I've looked through my own list and I've got nothing like that. I have only one "Tricky Troughton" and one "Priggish Pertwee".

The way it's supposed to work is that you get only one of badges 1-7 in any particular chain, and then you can earn the 8th badge as many times as you're able. I don't really have an answer for you as to why his page is doing this.

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
