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:

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 an admin.

Guides

Hey, sorry about that. But they're very much supposed to be short-ish summaries of the overall seasons. It even says at the top

It's probably not the optimal route to experience the franchise, as it's greatly simplifying a ton of context, and at times outright slightly misrepresenting what happens in a story because the actual plot is a little too complicated to explain in a few sentences

The point of them is to give people a bite sized understanding of things so they can go into whatever era they want with the bare minimum of context, not to have an understanding of the emotional arcs of the relevant characters or to know who Jack is and that he's immortal (a fun fact, but every time he's introduced in the show and it's important it's stated). I do note that we don't have guides for Torchwood yet, so if you want to talk about Jack and his arc, you could write some in the relevant style for that show - even incorporating parts of DW S1 and S3 into it.
