Your account

Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written 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 use another form of English, 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

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:

Re your message on my page

Hello Catkind Thank you for asking me my opinion about your idea. A slight modification, I would make sure there is protection on the individual pages. Bigshowbower 12:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

n/a on individual infoboxes

I've been altering many of the infoboxes on this wiki so if you don't put something in a field on an infobox it won't appear. So for individual infoboxes that don't have an actor, don't put anything and the actor field won't appear. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 06:04, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Actors who have appeared in Eastenders

That should be fine, my general rule for categories is as long as there's more than 3 things within that category than it's okay to exist (anything less than three they can usually be classified elsewhere). --Tangerineduel 14:41, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Feature Article

Hi. I've been in the slow process of trying to work out a way to make the Feature Article process get some sort of results. As such I've just implemented a new Feature Article process, see Tardis:Feature Article policy and Tardis:Feature Article nominations. I've added your nomination of The Trickster to the December nomination, if you'd like it to be for a different month feel free to move it. I'm hoping this system will give us actual results rather than the stalled system that's current in place. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:17, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Templates for every Doctor

I'm fine with it in theory (I haven't really worked on any of those specific novel boxes).

The only issue I see ahead is that dealing with other Doctors (other than the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors) is that Doctors One - Seven have all been in novels across at least two ranges; the Virgin New/Missing Adventures and the BBC Books Past Doctor/Eighth Doctor ranges. (There's also the Telos Novella range to consider)

Would these Doctor novel templates be going on the individual Doctor pages or the various novel pages? I'm just worried about the size and focus of the template as these templates would cover 2-3 ranges, unlike the current novel templates that just cover the NSAs.

If all this information's going to be contained on within the template it's going to need to be clearly marked out. Though this would create quite a long list to cram into the template especially for the Seventh and Eighth Doctors.

The Torchwood novel range is actually quite simple and straight forward much like the Ninth/Tenth/Eleventh Doctor novel templates. --Tangerineduel 13:06, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
