Doctor Who Wiki/Article of the month Quote of the minute
- Elizabeth Klein: Schmidt called it "the TARDIS". It meant nothing to me. I'd never heard that name until I met you. How on Earth could Schmidt know it?
- Seventh Doctor:: The memory cheats. Perhaps your memory is playing tricks with you. I used to think Professor X was better in the sixties until I went back and watched it again. even Vault of the Cyborgs.
- Klein: No, I know what I heard. He definitely said, "TARDIS".
- Seventh Doctor: Anyway it's all in the past now. Well, a version of the past. Your past, to be more precise.
- Klein: How could Schmidt have known? Yet another thing to haunt me the rest of my life. I can't let it go. Somehow, I just know that it's important. I can feel it.

Popular categories
If you're new to wikis, it might be helpful for you to take note of the concept of categories. Categories are the principal organizing tool on a wiki, allowing users to group information in ways that can ease the discovery of information. All the pages on our wiki are found, ultimately, in just four big "super categories". If this is your first visit here, please go to Floor 500 for a discussion of the way our wiki is organized. ✍
Real world
On our wiki, the world we actually live in is called the "real world" . As such, information about the production of Doctor Who and her sister shows are in this category. This includes pages about the actual televised episodes themselves, the behind-the-scenes personnel, terminology used by the production teams, and merchandise related to the shows.

Time-Space Visualiser
The Time-Space Visualiser is the place where most of this wiki's pages reside. All the articles are written from an in-universe perspective, quite different to what you might be used to on Wikipedia. Here you'll find information related to The Doctor, his companions, Other individuals, astronomical objects, time travel, species, locations, science, culture, and a whole host of other subjects.

Non-DWU material
Notwithstanding writer Paul Cornell's famous comments that denounced the concept of "canon" in Doctor Who, our canon policy does deem a few things to be outside the Doctor Who universe. For examples, visit: stories, characters, technology, species, and locations.

The Hub
This category contains articles having to do with the actual running of the wiki. It's full of all those little pages that help the wiki work. As such, it isn't accessed often by most users. However, more advanced editors might wish to peruse the templates category for ways to make their editing easier. Or if you're looking for a place to start editing on the wiki, you might want to look at articles that need updating, major expansion, general copy-editing, sectional cleanup, and re-writing from an in-universe perspective.
