...Worse, Wikia Staff never call it that. So when we get a spotlight or other promotion within the Wikia network, we're always, always, always referred to as "Tardis". Look at the picture at right. The name given in the lower left-hand corner is not changeable by local admin. Staff thinks of us as "Tardis", so that's how we're portrayed in any Wikia-wide advertising. Other Wikians — that is, the ones who don't regularly contribute here — doubtlessly remember "Tardis" as our name, because we're one of the only wikis who can make links without the w:c: bit. If you want to link to iCarly, you have to type w:c:iCarly:iCarly. If you want to link to TARDIS, you only have to type tardis:TARDIS. That distinction is something that admin and active users right the way across Wikia notice and remember.

Czech is an Icarly fan? Who would have thought. But besides that, Czech, we're "TARDIS" and you have to type out such because whoever made this wikia put the word "tardis" before the ".wikia.com". To get to the "Robotech Saga Wikia", you have to type w:c:robotoech:Robotech. Does that mean that that wikia is called "Robotech wikia"? Well, that's certainly a nickname, but technically our name is fully "Robotech Saga Wiki". Wikia's with names different from their url or even what people refer to them as is not uncommon, or bad really.
