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.
Fixing Vandalism
If you see articles in need of fixing with major vandalism, rather than manually attempting to remove the vandalism, the easiest thing to do is to go to the history and select the last edit before the vandalism, choose edit and then save the page, it will then save the changes of that previous edit (this does not affect the page's history.

Dont delete names from Character lists
Excuse me can you not delete Character names from lists in books. This is considered a form of Vandelism. Thanks Catkind121 12:58 17 January 2009 (UCT)
Excuses/justifications for errors
Please refrain from adding comments to the errors section of articles attempting to excuse or justify them. These comments are not appropriate for an encyclopedic article.
