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. SOTO ☎ 17:32, October 10, 2019 (UTC)

Cyber-Lieutenant

Hey. Well, since Mondas isn't the only location where they come from, we can't leave it as just "Mondas", of course. But, as I mentioned, just putting "various" isn't informative to a reader. The general idea is that infoboxes is for more general, non-ambiguous information. As there might be too many origins, as you pointed out, the best course of action is probably to just leave the infobox with nothing in the "origins" section, and add the information in the page itself.

Renaming page

Hey there. Hope you're well ^_^ I saw your recent edit desiring to rename Parallel dimension (Telepresence) so I added the {{Rename}} template to hopefully spark discussion for it. Please feel free to add your reasons for the rename at the page's talk page. Be sure to sign your comments after writing. Good luck. Snivy ✦ The coolest Pokemon ever ✦ 19:57, June 4, 2020 (UTC)

Re: colony ship

Hi, a pipe switch is when you type [[banana|bananas]] instead of just typing [[banana]]s. Both methods show up as "bananas". We ask editors to not pipe-switch if it isn't necessary. You can find more details and a complete explanation at Thread:123048.

As for your edit, you can undo the reversion I did and just go through and correct the times you pipe-switched unnecessarily so you don't have to rewrite your entire edit(s). Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 02:38, August 28, 2020 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for explaining. CyberFoundries900 ☎ 06:44, August 28, 2020 (UTC)

SotC reply

Main enemy is often singled out to the most antagonistic entity in a story or the one responsible for the conflict. The Cyber-Controller in SotC falls into the latter catagory, as he is the one behind the Cybermen's plot to trick Rassilon into giving the Cybermen time travel.BananaClownMan ☎ 12:43, September 27, 2020 (UTC)

Merry Christmas

Hello, there. I just wanted to stop by and wish you the merriest of Christmases, and a Happy New Year. BananaClownMan ☎ 14:14, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Alternate Timelines reply

Apologies for the late reply. I've recently started a full-time job on the night shift, so my abilities to edit have been severely limited. Cutting to the chase, the only reason I changed the heading of "Alternate timeline" was because that was how it looked on the other Doctor's pages. I think it's because Alternate timelines deal with events that happen outside of time, which would explain while Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS is included in the main biography despite being erased; the Doctor still remembers the events as happening, as oppose to The Light at the End, where the Doctor's only feel some Déjà vu.

Re: The Cyber Foundries

I'm honestly not sure. The way I saw it was — we are taking this to a proper name for this place in particular, not a general cyberconcept of "a cyber-foundry" in the same sense that there are cyber-ships and cyber-controllers and so on. So, the name has to use Foundries, not Foundry. But this looks to the untrained eye like a violation of the rule about page names having to be singular. Therefore including the "The" in the title makes it clear that this is a singular name called "the Cyber Foundries", not a page about the concept of cyber-foundries. This is all very esoteric, though, so if you still think the "The" is more confusing than not, feel free to suggest another rename. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 12:53, 5 May 2021 (UTC)

Re: Dalek appearances

I'm not sure, actually. Davros (Palindrome) is a different person from Davros. But Daleks is about Daleks as a species, not about any specific group of them. Indeed, genetically different Daleks like humanised Daleks and Imperial Daleks count as appearances of "the Daleks". I think Dalek (Masters of War) should be viewed as a page about a (nameless) Dalek variant from a parallel universe, not as an alternative and equal to Dalek. Accordingly, parallel-universe Daleks belong on Daleks - list of appearances. But if we had e.g. a parallel universe Black Dalek Leader, that wouldn't belong on Black Dalek Leader - list of appearances. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 18:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
