Hello To You Too!

Thanks for the message, I love the idea of it and I'd love to use it. I'm afraid I can't help with the editing because I don't have much info on most collectibles but it's still interesting. I also have another Doctor Who Wiki idea. It's a fan fiction Doctor Who Wiki, seeing as how other sci-fi like Star Wars and Star Trek have one, I don't see why Doctor Who shouldn't have one too. I've got some fun ideas. What do you think about it? Plus, good luck with the Wiki! Kinnikufan 05:38, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

It's OK if you can't help with editing or making new pages. I have been doing all that myself. I think there might already be a wiki for Doctor Who fan fiction, but I am not sure. But it would be a great idea for one. Tardis1963 05:46, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I just checked and there is one. Well, I'm satisfied anyways. Again, good luck with your wiki! (^_^) Kinnikufan 05:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

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:

Marking an image for deletion

Hi, thanks for assisting in bring an image to attention. The proposed deletion tag is {{proposed deletion}}, this tag is best placed on the image page, rather than that image's talk page. This tag also puts the image in the prop delete category. You can edit image pages the same as regular pages (the tag appears below the image). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:36, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Story titles and capitalization

Saw your talk page posts about changing some of the story titles' capitalization. On the one hand, you are right as to what's on the page; on the other, I prefer the (grammatically) correct capitalization. I think the best solution for now would be to create a redirect page. (Let me know if you don't know how to do that.)

As for a long-term solution, you might want to post something in the Forum, asking for input on what we should all do about these.

And welcome! Monkey with a Gun 04:49, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

OK. Redirects are a good idea, I suppose. And thanks for the welcome, even though I've been around here for a little while I haven't really made any edits. I've mostly been working on the wiki I set up last year, Doctor Who Collectors Wiki Tardis1963 04:57, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Your wiki

Just had a look at your DW Collectibles wiki - very impressive start!

Two suggestions: in the link box at the top of the page, it reads "CD's" and "DVD's" - it should be "CDs" and "DVDs" (the apostrophe makes it possessive). Second, you should ask in the Forum if it would be okay to add links to merchandise pages on this wiki to yours; you'd get more users if that were approved by the community. Monkey with a Gun 05:01, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestions. And, yeah, I know about the "CD's" and "DVD's" error, but because all the categoried use apostrophes, it would be a huge job to fix it up. But I will get around to it, one day. Tardis1963 05:04, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Font

The font used on Doctor Who Wiki is FuturaDisD, a very close approximation of what's used on Region 2 DW DVDs. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 05:40, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I guess I should point out it's modified in the logo somewhat. The color is sampled from the actual Tardis logo to the left, and then a white border is placed around it as a nod to the new Matt Smith TARDIS. Then the whole thing is given a drop shadow for a mild 3D effect. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 05:55, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Your wiki's logo on our front page

Hey, I've updated our front page to include a section listing other DW wikis on wikia. And I wanted to explain to you why I've chosen an out-of-date version of your logo, just in case you were concerned. Your current logo is unfortunately not transparent, but the one you used to use (with the McCoy era logo) was transparent. Transparency is really important for this section, because it's not on a white background. Additionally, your current logo, while it looks fine at the size used on your wiki, doesn't show up very well at the smaller size we're using, because it's so dark. So good news is that your wiki is now directly linked from our front page, but the possibly bad news is that we're using a version of your logo that you've discarded. I hope you don't mind too terribly much. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 05:21, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I was just adding the 'Welcome' template, to welcome you to here. (And to practise revised signature) Tardis1963 22:04, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Welcoming users

That's totally fine! Thanks. --Tangerineduel 06:34, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Uh. That was a legitimate question, don't you delete me.

How rude.
