User talk:StevieGLiverpool
StevieGLiverpoolThanks 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. -- Doug86 (Talk) 13:23, February 10, 2013
Tweaks
Please take a moment to review the edit history of Line of Battle, observing the changes that Shambala108 and I made to your work. It'll help you write stronger articles here. Thanks :)

New pages
Hi! Don't forget to add at least one category to every new page you create. It's ok to occasionally leave one blank if you can't find a category that fits, but it's not ok to make a bunch of pages without categories and leave someone else to add the categories. Thanks!

DWA Comic stories
Hi! sorry been away with work for a bit and was reviewing DWA magazine generally - particularly since they cancelled the subscription deal. I know I've got some catching up to do - I've actually been scanning ALL the strip pages lol so Im ahead of you. Maybe chat sometime if you've an interested in this area :) The Librarian ☎ 17:19, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
Christmas cheer
As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.
This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!
We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.
2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
Two things
Hi! Please don't capitalize the word "the" in front of names like "the Doctor" unless it's the beginning of a sentence (Tardis:Capital letters). Also, if you're talking about the Doctor's TARDIS, you use [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] ; if you are talking about TARDISes in general, you use [[TARDIS]] . Thanks.
