| |
| Thanks for your [[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 '''[[Help:Game of Rassilon|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.<br>
| |
| <span id="ssh">British English, please</span><br>
| |
| We generally use [[British]] [[English]] round these parts, so if you're [[American]], please be sure you set your [[help:spell checking|spell checker]] to BrEng, and take a gander at our [[help:spelling cheat card|spelling cheat card]].
| |
| <br><span id=ssh>Spoilers aren't cool</span><br>
| |
| 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 [[British Broadcasting Corporation|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 '''[[tardis:spoiler policy|spoiler policy]]''' for more details.
| |
| <br><span id=ssh>Other useful stuff</span><br>
| |
| Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:
| |
| *[[Tardis:Help|the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Manual of Style|our Manual of Style]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Image use policy|our image use policy]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:User page policy|our user page policy]]
| |
| *[[Tardis:Administrators|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:
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:How to edit a page|How to edit a page]]
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tutorial|Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial]]
| |
| *[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Picture tutorial|Picture tutorial]]
| |
|
| |
| Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this: <div style="font-family:'Georgia', 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size:200%;text-align:center;">~ ~ ~ ~</div>

| == Redlinks (and links in general) ==
| |
| Hi. Please stop removing redlinks from pages. As explained on [[Tardis:Redlinks]] (which I linked in my edit summary, redlinks '''are''' usefull. You are a new user, and so bound to make mistaked due to unfamiliarity with the wiki rules (which is totally expectable - we've all been there). But please don't remove these links. [[Tardis:Wikify wisely|All nouns that appear in a story can/should get pages]].

| |
| :Hi I'm not sure why you decided to ignore [[User:OncomingStorm12th]]'s message above mine, but maybe you'll listen to an [[admin]]. Your edits at [[The Nine]] violate [[Tardis:Redlinks]]. Please read the policy and please, in the future, if an experienced user reverts your edits and gives a reason (as OncomingStorm12th did), learn from those edits and don't undo them.

| == Red links and edit wars ==
| |
| Since you ignored two previous instructions, which cited the appropriate policy, one of them from an admin, it is time to advise you on another policy, [[Tardis:Edit wars are good for absolutely nothing]]. Here is the situation you are currently in:
| |
| * As you have been advised above, your edits at [[the Nine]] are in direct violation of our policy [[Tardis:Redlinks]].
| |
| * Your edits additionally replace "rupture" with a completely different word "rapture", which may be described as "editing text within an article so as to include obvious falsehoods" and may, under certain circumstances, be qualified as [[Tardis:Vandalism policy|vandalism]].
| |
| * Your latest edit goes against explicit instructions of an admin.
| |
| * Your next edit would go against explicit instructions of two admin and would constitute an edit war.
| |
| It is high time to stop changing the page and engage in a dialogue on [[Talk:The Nine]]. In the future, it is never a good idea to try forcing your point of view by persistently reverting edits of others, especially after being instructed not to do so by an admin. The right way of approaching disagreements is a discussion. If you have further questions regarding the policies cited above, please do not hesitate contacting [[Tardis:Administrators]].

| ::Duly noted. When there is a message on your talk page, there is a little notification on the lower right part of your screen (unless you are using a cell phone, I don't know where it appears on that). Trying to be cute, we made it say, "You have a hypercube". That means there's a message on your talk page. Thanks!
