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!
Thing is, though, to play the game, you do need to be logged in.
Don't get us wrong: you don't need to have a registered account to make a lot of great edits around here. But you may find that there are good reasons to create an account. For a start, we could call you by a name instead of 41.132.228.79.
Even if you decide not to register, you should be aware that we've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki.
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 users 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. -- Revanvolatrelundar (Talk) 15:49, December 18, 2011
Editing issues
Hi, I've had a look at the UNIT dating controversy page. It's not locked and as evidenced by your previous edit to the page it is editable by anyone.
I'd suggest try editing on the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Tardis%3ASandbox%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Tardis%3ASandbox%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BTardis%3ASandbox%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-17126851094eee1464f403f" href="/wiki/Tardis:Sandbox" title="Tardis:Sandbox">Tardis:Sandbox</a> and make sure everything's appearing on there for you; try creating wikilinks etc and other wiki-editing like that, previewing and saving the page and seeing what you get. If it is all working correctly then come back to the UNIT dating article and try again. --<a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Tangerineduel%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%3ATangerineduel%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%3ATangerineduel%7CTangerineduel%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-17126851094eee1464f403f" href="/wiki/User:Tangerineduel" title="User:Tangerineduel">Tangerineduel</a> / <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22talk%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22User%20talk%3ATangerineduel%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Afalse%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BUser%20talk%3ATangerineduel%7Ctalk%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="125-17126851094eee1464f403f" href="/wiki/User_talk:Tangerineduel" title="User talk:Tangerineduel">talk</a> 16:11, December 18, 2011 (UTC)
"Anyone can edit"? Sure thing, buddy!

Suggestion[[edit source]]
Hi! I'm the tech admin here at Tardis. You seem to be having some basic editing problems. Are you using the visual editor? The code dump seems quite indicative of that. I'd suggest going to the editing tab at Special:Preferences and alter the first check box so that you're not using the visual editor. It should clear up your problems. Let me know how it goes!
