User talk:Doctorwhotime1
Doctorwhotime1Thanks 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:
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. Josiah Rowe ☎ 17:32, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
Welcome to the wiki
Hi, welcome to the wiki. Glad you like Doctor Who. I'm sure that you will soon learn that there are many people like you here, who like it too, and that this wiki is quite well maintained. Of course, we're struggling to keep up with everything that happens in DWU. You see, we have no canon. Everything that is considered valid per Tardis:Valid sources has equal weight. Sometimes you might notice a "stub" template at the top of the page. That is where your help would be most appreciated. Infoboxes, on the other hand, are usually the best developed part of the page and it is not often something can be improved there. In addition, there is some very minimal amount of programming skill required there: you can't arbitrarily change the name of fields, some fields automatically create a link, etc. In other words, it requires certain experience to operate with infoboxes. Some of your edits actually broke things, which is why they were undone. That's no reason to get upset. However, for all the above reason, it might be beneficial for everyone if you start with editing content rather than well-defined and programmed parts of pages. If you have further questions, our Tardis:Administrators would be happy to answer your questions. Just leave a message on our talk pages. Amorkuz ☎ 19:01, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
Recent edits
Hi! Since you are brand new to this wiki, and don't yet know how we do things here, please stop removing content from pages. If you are unsure whether or not something belongs on a page, ask an admin first. I also suggest you browse the wiki using the "random page" feature so you can see how we do things on the wiki, and you might want to take a look at some of our editing policies at Tardis:Tardis Manual.
