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.
Rich Text Editor
May I suggest turning off the editor? Every edit you make adds a multitude of blank lines to the articles you edit. To turn it off, I would strongly recommend going to the "more" option in the upper right, choosing preferences, scroll down to "editing preferences", and turn off the "rich text editing". It does a lot of really poor formatting things to articles and makes a multitude of changes that should not be made. -- sulfur 19:52, January 2, 2010 (UTC)
Edit - Doomsday
Hi
Did you leave the last comment regarding the two superclamps? I've responded if you did and were interested in why.
You New Page
I like the idea that you have made a new page for Discontinuty, the only thing is: I created one in the past and got it deleted, as I felt the page would have gone massive. I would recommend that you highlight that the page is for just for Highlighting the mistake and use the discussion page on that for the resolution and ideas why. You would also need to rename it to Highlight its Doctor Who Television Discontinuity, and then create a pages for Torchwood Television Discontinuty, Sarah Jane Adventures Television Discontinuity and one for Audio (these can all go on one page), the same with Prose and comic strips Hope this helps!!!! But please also remember to cast your vote in the forum page and beware the page maybe deleted by an Admin Mini-mitch 20:45, March 26, 2010 (UTC)
