Thanks for your edits! 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:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

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. CzechOut ☎ 19:53, November 20, 2013 (UTC)

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!

• 40th anniversary - Zagreus + some other things I forget at the moment

• 10th anniversary of the new series - Four Doctors
• 500th issue of Doctor Who Magazine - The Stockbridge Showdown
• 50th anniversary of Cybermen - Supremacy of the Cybermen

P.S. Have you ever thought of doing some editing here? The more contributors tardis has the better, that's what I say. CoT ? 17:00, March 17, 2017 (UTC)

Sources

When editing a page about a series of Doctor Who that hasn't happened yet, you need to add sources that this Wikia finds reliable. Thanks. --DCLM ☎ 12:07, April 11, 2017 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you can find all the information on the Radio times website. CoT ? 12:10, April 11, 2017 (UTC)

Series 10

Hi! Please note that we require proper, valid sources for every piece of information added to the Series 10 (Doctor Who) page. You have added information three times, without sources, twice after it was removed with the reason given in the edit summary. Please carefully read the two boxes at the top of the Series 10 page. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 14:12, April 11, 2017 (UTC)

In addition, please be aware that spoilers about the upcoming episodes are not allowed in the forums by T:SPOIL. Please use Talk:Series 10 (Doctor Who) for your questions. Amorkuz ☎ 19:42, May 16, 2017 (UTC)

Correction and apology. My previous advice on where to find help was wrong. Spoilers are prohibited also on the talk pages, which is clearly stipulated at the top of the talk page for Series 10. I'm afraid your best chance is to learn by example: try to find a case similar to what you envision in series that are already behind us and to replicate the code. If, however, there are no analogues to what you'd like to do, then chances are such situations have been dealt with differently in the past. Amorkuz ☎ 20:51, May 16, 2017 (UTC)
