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:

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:

External Links

Hi, I noticed on the Proms Cutaway page that you were not sure how to add an external Link. To do this put the desired text beside the url in the weblink Example "[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho BBC Web Site]" will display BBC Web Site. Jack's the man - 11:08, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

The Previous story (and next) section within the infobox actually refers to the previous story within that infobox's series, rather than everything as a whole. However you can double bank the stories (by placing a
) and have both in the infobox. --Tangerineduel 15:29, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
