User talk:Digifiend
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.
New logo
I know, that's what Forum:New logo or Wordmark is concerning, I'm just waiting for any other suggestions. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:57, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Outnumbered
You are best talking to User:CzechOut, he can have his bot change the category if it a mistake - which thinking about it is is. MM/Want to talk? 00:41, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
{{Update}} and spoilers
{{Update}} cannot be used to request information about a future event. The IDW DW/TNG crossover has not been released yet. Therefore information about it falls under our spoiler embargo, as outlined at T:SPOIL. You may only use {{Update}} to request information be added to an article from sources that have been officially released. Since you have an interest in the crossover, you may wish to contribute to Forum:IDW Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover to help shape policy about how we're going to cover the event after its release.

Logopedia spam
Hi. Back on logopedia, these men have been spamming news and non-logo stuff on the wiki: [logos.wikia.com/wiki/User:Xuanyjian] [logos.wikia.com/wiki/User:Tltgbjj] [logos.wikia.com/wiki/User:Huitao] They are sock puppet accounts. Ban them now! --74.104.186.68talk to me 21:22, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. But next time, please report them at Logopedia's User Reports page. Even if you didn't know about that, I don't understand why you posted on my talk page here instead of at Logopedia. Digifiend 23:39, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
Calmly/politely coming up with a compromise
"My recommendation is to calmly and politely work this out with Digifiend and come up with a compromise. Since you are blocked on the wiki you can try leaving him a message on this wiki." Is what a proffeseional recommended for me to do so we could put an end to this situation. You'll be able to find that on your message wall in your user page on community central wiki.
