Welcome to the Ace diamond

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 only take the best!

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:

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:

The Minister of Chance[[edit source]]

Hi :) Thanks for helping us out with some edits. Unfortunately, you keep trying to upload things which have nothing to do with the DWU. The Minister of Chance is an entirely separate franchise, which only appears to be somewhat connected to Doctor Who, because of a similarity between its titular character and a totally different character played by Stephen Fry in Death Comes to Time — itself a story this wiki deems to be non-canonical (but allowable, because it received BBC backing).

The producers of The Minister of Chance series have gone out of their way to stress that they are not endorsed or licensed by the BBC, and that their stories do not occur within the Doctor Who universe.

Please do not try to re-upload any imagery associated with this project, or to write anything about the series on this wiki. Also, please pay attention to warnings that appear when uploading files or starting pages. It will save you time if you notice that a page has been previously deleted, because you can generally expect that it will be deleted again should you try to re-upload/re-create it.

I am now going to delete the Minister of Chance page for the third time today. If you recreate it, or add any material from this series into this website, I will be forced to block you from further editing. I simply don't have time to keep repeating the same actions all day long.

Re-creation of the page The Minister of Chance has now been disabled. I noticed, however, that you continued making additions to the page five minutes after the above notice. Technically, I could block you, because you were sufficiently warned. However, I really don't want to do that, because it's your first day editing with us. Might I suggest that you please just forget about The Minister of Chance, and edit other pages? There's a whole lot of other stuff to be getting on with around here!

Hi, it's not a totally different character, Julian Wadham's Minister is a regeneration of Fry's! We haven't gone out of our way to dissociate ourselves, although a lot of people do regard Death Comes to Time as non-canonical. It would be nice if you would allow The Minister of Chance in, but of course up to you!

Cheers

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]

Happy holidays!

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!
