User talk:Unbanned reality talk
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:
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. SOTO ☎ 23:25, January 29, 2020 (UTC)
Singular they
I'm afraid this is simply not true. The usage of singular they can be tracked back to the 14th century and, more importantly, is the policy of this wiki regarding the Doctor. Thanks, --Borisashton ☎ 13:41, February 5, 2020 (UTC)
- Appeal to longevity is simply a fallacy. It was wrong in the 14th century and it's wrong now. Unless you're arguing we should adopt other habits and practices they had in the 14th century. Unbanned reality talk ☎ 13:50, February 5, 2020 (UTC)
- This is simply incorrect. You'll do yourself a favour by abiding the rules and policies on the Wikia. --DCLM ☎ 13:44, February 5, 2020 (UTC)
- No, you are incorrect. Please learn to handle this fact. If there are consequences for me by the rules for what I am doing, then your rules and you are biased and I simply must protest. You will not shape your own reality for me, I absolutely refuse. Doctor is a He. Even Jodie W. can be a He if he wants by the justification for your own POV.Unbanned reality talk ☎ 13:48, February 5, 2020 (UTC)
- No. We are correct. And that is the facts and the realities. If you don't like this, nothing and no-one is making you stay here. The Doctor is they. The only bias here is coming from you, my friend. You must abide by the Wikia or take consequences as they follow. Your choice. --DCLM ☎ 13:52, February 5, 2020 (UTC)
