User talk:TimeDude
Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!
We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written 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 use another form of English, 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
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 an admin.
Spoilers
Please note, information about any form of media which has not been released or aired is considered a spoiler. This includes names of the Big Finish Audios. Any spoiler information should only go on the appropriate spoiler page, in this case on The Companion Chronicles article. Thank-you. The Thirteenth Doctor 18:07, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
Images

Audiobooks of novelisations
Thanks for adding pics to the 2011 section of the above article. However, a couple of tips for the future. First, please make sure that picture names have human-readable names that make some sort of sense. Random alpha-numeric strings like the ones you used make future use much more difficult, because the name simply isn't searchable. Second, please make sure that your edits don't strip articles of useful formatting. It was a step forward for the article to get pics in the 2011 section. But it was a step backward for the article to lose all its wiki-linking, as it did by virtue of your edit. Not quite sure why you would have done that, actually. Your edit, instead of just being helpful, created work for me to clean up.

Nyssa
I was just wondering about your time placing for Nyssa in the audio stories. I haven't got to listening to Cobwebs and later monthly plays yet but from Winter I gathered that it was the last time that Nyssa met the fifth Doctor in her timeline. Does Cobwebs actually reference the events of Winter or is the placing of her second run of adventures with the Doctor just an educated guess? --Revan\Talk 12:23, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
I'm just mentioning this because the articles for both Cobwebs and Winter give no clear indication of their placement in relation to each other outside the timeline section. An example of what I mean is if in Cobwebs Nyssa said "I helped you regenerate" or something similar it just needs adding to the continuity section to help with the placement of the stories. --Revan\Talk 12:26, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
