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]]

Hi, please see [[Tardis:Images and perspective#In-universe articles]] for the full explanation, but the short version is that covers of audios, comics, books, etc. are only considered as a last resort if we don't have images from the story itself. Since the character '''does''' have a comic image, we use that.

Re: images

Hi, please see Tardis:Images and perspective#In-universe articles for the full explanation, but the short version is that covers of audios, comics, books, etc. are only considered as a last resort if we don't have images from the story itself. Since the character does have a comic image, we use that.

And please in the future add your messages on a talk page to the bottom of the page, not in the middle. Putting it in the middle makes it harder to find. Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 04:36, April 3, 2020 (UTC)

Please read through Tardis:Image use policy and Tardis:File naming conventions to see why you image was deleted (both times). As I explained at the deletion edit summary, the image was uploaded, both times with "no license, narrower than 420px, "gibberish" file name". Please don't upload new images until you've read through both policies. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 00:47, April 16, 2020 (UTC)
Yes. File:Cleopatra.jpg was nearly a perfect upload. All it was missing was a license (which I've now added), but please remember to add them in the future. All images added without a license can (and most often are) immediately deleted. To add a license, click on "More options" and fill the last entry of the form that'll appear. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 01:05, April 16, 2020 (UTC)
How odd. I'm sure I selected a licence. Oh well, thanks. Epsilon the Eternal ☎ 01:14, April 16, 2020 (UTC)

Icon

Hello! Apropos of nothing, been admiring your Panda icon, can't quite place it; where is the illustration from?

Also, I notice you also use it on your Twitter account. I don't — I'm a top hat over there — and I bring this up to confirm that the DM you've just received over there from someone saying they're Scrooge MacDuck from the Wiki is in fact me. Looking forward to a reply there when you get the chance! Cheers! --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 01:20, June 2, 2020 (UTC)

Hi! The Panda image is of Panda, from the cover of The Panda Book of Horror. I'll check the DM you sent me now. Epsilon the Eternal ☎ 01:28, June 2, 2020 (UTC)
