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. Doug86 ☎ 20:27, November 9, 2020 (UTC)
Pattern of edits[[edit source]]
Hey. Hello, I'm an administrator of this Wiki.
Please stop replacing images of LINDA members with their "Abzorbed" counterparts. We like a Love & Monsters joke as much as the next host of Whovians, but this Wiki is an earnest fanmade encyclopedia, not a meme playground.
If I have misinterpreted your intent and it is not the borderline-vandalism I think it is… your edits are still wrong. Assuming you earnestly think these images better represent the characters, you should open a discussion on the matter on the talk page, not engage in edit-warring by changing them back and forth when other users disagree on correct you.
Please stop at once and discuss this rationally, or I shall be forced to block you to prevent further vandalism. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 19:08, November 10, 2020 (UTC)
- I must insist. It would pain me to block you, since, though still misguided, some of your edits do appear to be constructive rather than wanton vandalism. But for now, please stop and take the time to talk to me or other admins. Else, you shall leave me no choice but to block you. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 20:36, November 11, 2020 (UTC)
