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:

Meta crisis doctor

Hi please stop making the edits you've made at Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor. Your edit summary is incorrect because of Tardis:In-universe perspective, and your edits themselves also violated that policy. Please make yourself familiar with it.

Also, please note that if a more experienced user keeps removing your edits, your best bet is to ask them, either on the article talk page or their talk page, why your edits were undone. To continue reverting their edits violates Tardis:Edit wars are good for absolutely nothing thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 23:46, October 24, 2019 (UTC)

The edits made on the Meta-Crisis Doctor page incorrect and go against canon. The new alias (Corin) only has precedence to the storybook and not the in-universe show or the Big Finish audios. Any edits made are following aforementioned policies. For the name to be used across all medium references or in the info is incorrect.

This is not my only fandom account. I just limit continual edits to when something is incorrect. I was not intending to start an 'edit war'.ibelieveinher ☎ 23:46, October 24, 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I need to explain what this wiki's purpose is, and hopefully you'll see why your edits have been removed. (First, however, I wasn't accusing you of edit warring, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the policy.)

For in-universe articles, we are trying to make a narrative/history of the Doctor and assorted people associated with him and spin-offs. We try to write from an outside, neutral perspective, almost as if we are historians chronicling the Doctor's history.

When an author (book, comic, audio, etc) adds something that expands on something from the tv show(s), we treat that as part of the overall narrative. Therefore, even if only one story names a character something, then we write the article with that in mind.

Because this is Doctor Who, and its writers don't care about continuity (or what each other write), there are often contradictions. We take care of those by writing statements like, "According to one account, the Doctor did this. Other accounts suggested that he did this instead."

Hope this helps explain why we edit the way we do here. Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 00:10, October 25, 2019 (UTC)

I think there has been a miscommunication somewhere because we are both talking about the same thing.

I completely understand that. That is why I made the edits I made in the first place. The narrative I edited included neutral statements like you mentioned, i.e. neutral one story vs another. The name 'Corin' falls into this category precisely and therefor should not be referenced in sections regarding the show or Big Finish Audio stories.

Because Doctor Who is so expansive and conflicting from medium to medium, citing an alias from one can not and should not be used for another. The term Meta-Crisis Doctor is the common factor throughout them all and should therefore be the term/name used when referring to the character in any broad sense. ibelieveinher ☎ 00:29, October 25, 2019 (UTC)
