User talk:Mini-mitch/Archive Talk
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:
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.
2009 Rumours
Please do not create the 2009 rumours page. It duplicates information already on the 2009 Specials (Doctor Who) page. Having such a page would also encourage unverified edits and vandalism. --Tangerineduel 15:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion
Please leave a proposed deletion on a page rather than removing all content as it alerts admins to said page and are able to delete it (removing all content still leaves the page active). Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
SJA Guest cast
Please do not create pages for guest cast unless there's a source to prove that they have appeared in an episode. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
The End of Time
Your additions to the article, "It is rumoured that The End of Time means the end of the Tenth Doctor's time, and not end of time itself." That sort of thing is unhelpful and could be seen as vandalism. Bigshowbower 11:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
