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. CzechOut ☎ 08:21, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
Preloads
Preloads are in a state of flux right now, as they need to be made to work on the new VisualEditor. I wouldn't feel comfortable giving you advice on how to install it, unless I knew it worked in at least the source and new VisualEditor editing surfaces. There's really no point in installing it on your wiki until you know that it's going to appear in every editing environment.
That said, I won't be taking it down here, but neither do I feel like it should be propagated elsewhere on the Wikia network unless it's improved.
If it does get an update, it'll probably be the source of a major announcement here, so check in every few weeks to see if we've highlighted a new announcement on the preloadable system.

- I have no intentions of enabling the VisualEditor anytime soon on my wiki, if that will put you at ease. Also, with my poor-to-moderate "wiki skills", it will take me time to adjust and customise it to my needs anyway. I hope that will alleviate your concerns enough to help me out. --Love Robin ☎ 15:15, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
