User talk:Captain Infinity
Captain InfinityThanks 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:
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. Shambala108 ☎ 06:23, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
Re: thank you
Hi! Receiving your (I assume) sarcastic message, I'm at a loss as to what you expected me to do about an edit that was incorrect. "Continuity" entries must link to stories. Your edit, as you even stated, has not been explained in any story. Therefore, it does not belong under "Continuity". I adequately explained my reasoning in the edit summary.
The thing you have to realize is that this is a large wiki with a huge number of policies. If new users want to jump in and start editing, that is fine, but they will find themselves violating policies of which they are unaware. Then it is the admins' job to clean up and explain those edits.
Another thing, on this wiki we try as much as possible to say things like "it has not been explained" or "it is unexplained". Aside from the fact that it is not very encyclopedia-like, there is also the real possibility that in some story supposedly unexplained facts are actually explained. So it's just better to avoid those kinds of phrases whenever possible.
Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 01:58, July 12, 2015 (UTC)
