April Fool's
How do we treat articles considering that it is April 1st? What's considered a joke and what's considered real news? --DCLM ☎ 14:24, April 1, 2019 (UTC)
- Wait till tomorrow to confirm they're real? Shambala108 ☎ 14:43, April 1, 2019 (UTC)
Past tense
What's with the past tense for future events? 192.241.183.147talk to me 00:00, July 20, 2019 (UTC)
- Saves us from having to go back and change to past tense when the season is over. It's a large wiki with a small number of regular editors who keep track of that kind of thing. Shambala108 ☎ 00:02, July 20, 2019 (UTC)
Page locked
This page is temporarily locked. Let me impress on our new users: please read Tardis:Edit wars are good for absolutely nothing. And keep in mind that, like every wiki, we have rules and guidelines. We have a lot of rules and guidelines because we have a very large wiki with a massive amount of information. Therefore, a new user who has their edits reverted by an experienced editor or admin should always ask either the editor or any admin for the reasoning. Then if there's a conflict, raise it on the talk page or an admin page (but always keeping in mind Tardis:Spoiler policy). Please don't just assume that we've been editing our own wiki incorrectly for 15 years. You may not always agree with our reasons, but we do have them. Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 15:39, August 11, 2019 (UTC)
- And again. Same reasons above, as well as a warning: posting spoilers in the edit summary is a violation of Tardis:Spoiler policy. Shambala108 ☎ 22:50, October 28, 2019 (UTC)
Correct wording
I'm sorry, but SOTO's statement that "The S12 notice is quite clear that when we're making such statements we need to frame them as "X person said this", to be clear about attributing certainty without sufficient context about the source" is simply not true. This is not what it says. The notice says "Please also remember to directly quote people, or to exactly characterise their statements. Do not say that someone said something when they really didn't. Work from original quotes — not a paraphrasing of them. When it comes to anything Chris Chibnall, Matt Strevens or any major star of the show says, give their exact quote only. Remember, a part of the production team's job is to tell the truth, but only very narrowly. So this page should contain only what they exactly say.". Given that there are not quotes present at any of the points of information in the top-area of the "Overview" section, there is not a need for "X said this is true". That's reserved for quotes as is in fact what the notice actually says. --DCLM ☎ 09:56, December 11, 2019 (UTC)
