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.
Sleep/Happy[[edit source]]
If you could clarify for me what you want done...Do you want the article now known as Sleep to be moved back to Happy...or something else?--Tangerineduel 13:01, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
- There shouldn't be any need to delete either articles. If you want to start the Sleep article you can simply edit the Sleep article as it currently exists to what you want. To edit the Happy article just go to Happy (it'll redirect to Sleep, but just click the Happy link underneath and you'll get back to the Sleep article). But if these options are unworkable (though I'm not sure why they would be) I can delete the articles or move Sleep to Happy or whatever should it become necessary). --Tangerineduel 05:06, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
Real sorry[[edit source]]
I'm sorry about that, I thought you'd created it, then looked over the history and tried to erase my message on your page because I felt really guilty. Thanks for respecting my opinion, I respect yours to. I agree with you on most other subjects. Real sorry anyway. I'm A Hydroponic Tomato! Bigredrabbit 08:05, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
The End of Time Page[[edit source]]
I fixed The End of Time page for you. --Bigshowbower 10:36, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Spoiler policy[[edit source]]
Hi! I reverted your recent edit to your user page. You need to read Tardis:Spoiler policy. Spoilers are not allowed anywhere on the wiki, and that includes your talk page. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 19:01, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
Christmas cheer[[edit source]]
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!
