Thanks for your edits at User:NancyDrew4ever! 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. -- Azes13 (Talk) 04:42, 2012 October 6
Image policy...?
Well, it's hard to explain really. Well, for one, we really don't add publicity photos around here. We prefer to use legitimate images from sorces. Galleries are almost always not allowed. To get the full explanation, I suggest you contact User:CzechOut. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 05:47, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
Not everyone needs a biography
Unless the actor (or whoever) is a major recurring contributor to the DWU, there's really no need to go into much detail about their careers. A short snippet of what they're known for outside of their Doctor Who related work is usually fine. Memnarc ☎ 09:03, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
Categories
Hi! I've noticed you've been adding non-existent categories to many pages on this wiki. I suggest you take a look at Special:Categories and Special:CategoryTree before you add any more. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 16:37, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
- If you're an admin at 2 other wikis, then surely you know that every wiki has its own rules. Everyone who has commented on your edits is trying to help you avoid making edits that will have to be reverted. In the end, it's up to you how you choose to react to constructive criticism, but just be aware that no one is trying to chase you away, we're just trying to help. If you do stay around, I recommend that you browse the "help" sections of this wiki and ask around if you're not sure something is allowed here. Shambala108 ☎ 19:18, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia
Hi there! Please stop copying information from Wikipedia. This is a violation of our policies. Continue to do so and you will receive a short block. I would suggest you take some time and read the Manual of Style before continuing editing, just so you are familiar with our policies. Thanks. MM/Want to talk? 10:29, October 9, 2012 (UTC)
