User talk:Ace diamond
Ace diamondThanks for your edits at User:Ace diamond! 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. -- Tangerineduel (Talk) 13:33, 30 December 2011
The Minister of Chance
Hi :) Thanks for helping us out with some edits. Unfortunately, you keep trying to upload things which have nothing to do with the DWU. The Minister of Chance is an entirely separate franchise, which only appears to be somewhat connected to Doctor Who, because of a similarity between its titular character and a totally different character played by Stephen Fry in Death Comes to Time — itself a story this wiki deems to be non-canonical (but allowable, because it received BBC backing).
The producers of The Minister of Chance series have gone out of their way to stress that they are not endorsed or licensed by the BBC, and that their stories do not occur within the Doctor Who universe.
Please do not try to re-upload any imagery associated with this project, or to write anything about the series on this wiki. Also, please pay attention to warnings that appear when uploading files or starting pages. It will save you time if you notice that a page has been previously deleted, because you can generally expect that it will be deleted again should you try to re-upload/re-create it.

- I am now going to delete the Minister of Chance page for the third time today. If you recreate it, or add any material from this series into this website, I will be forced to block you from further editing. I simply don't have time to keep repeating the same actions all day long.
czechout<staff /> ☎ ✍ <span style="">16:22: Fri 30 Dec 2011- Re-creation of the page The Minister of Chance has now been disabled. I noticed, however, that you continued making additions to the page five minutes after the above notice. Technically, I could block you, because you were sufficiently warned. However, I really don't want to do that, because it's your first day editing with us. Might I suggest that you please just forget about The Minister of Chance, and edit other pages? There's a whole lot of other stuff to be getting on with around here!

Hi, it's not a totally different character, Julian Wadham's Minister is a regeneration of Fry's! We haven't gone out of our way to dissociate ourselves, although a lot of people do regard Death Comes to Time as non-canonical. It would be nice if you would allow The Minister of Chance in, but of course up to you!
Cheers
