User talk:Bigshowbower
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. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 12:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
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)

Reverting messages / user
Hey. I've left a warning on their user page. If they do something again let me know and I'll carry through with the block. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 13:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
What is wrong?
It possibly wasn't you, but seeing as you were the last to edit those pages, I assume. what was wrong with me adding unidentified characters to the individuals lists? , also with the locations being **ed? possibly not you. if it is, message me back. if not, sorry, do you know who itwas ?

Your article changes
Why do you change articles to make each sentence its own paragraph? That doesn't seem quite right to me. Doug86 07:44, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Discontinuity indenting
The discontinuities are bullet pointed. Unless you mean the "explanations" (of which there don't necessarily need to be some of). Anyways the theory is to have them in round brackets and italicised. Straight after the discontinuity. Indenting would shift it downwards a little bit and add some length to the page. Unless there's a reason you think indenting would work better? --Tangerineduel 16:32, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- In the Tardis:Format for Television Story Entries it states italics in brackets, I'll make a slight change to state it after the discontinuity statement as that's the format which has been predominately used throughout the wiki. Thanks for pointing this out. --Tangerineduel 15:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Fourth Doctor
Could you help me improve the Fourth Doctor to featured article status? Cheers! -- Twelfth Doctor
Torchwood: Children of Earth Idea
I have recently had a good Idea about making each different Children of Earth episodes into different pages to make it easier to understand. --Catkind121 12:09, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
