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 (Talk) 15:34, December 7, 2011

Great work on TLATE![[edit source]]
Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for the great work you've put into The Light at the End. Yes, we do write plot summaries — but just about nothing else — in present tense. You wrote a great plot summary there, and I hope you come back to write more in the future. The one thing nearly all our audio pages are lacking are plots, so please feel free to fill 'em in every time you listen to one. I can't wait to read your future contributions. :)

Coop3[[edit source]]
Hi,
I'm Coop3 and you undid my change to the ninth doctors page. You said it was because the administrators hadn't decided if the ear doctor was the ninth incarnation. If you mean the admin for this wiki, then did they not see the mini episode for the night and the doctor? It clearly shows the EIGHTH doctor regenerate into the war doctor. This makes him the NINTH incarnation, even if he is not the ninth doctor as this incarnation refused to use that name. And if so, why do thr admin get to decide? The policy is that information cannot go on this wiki until the source has aired and/or been released, which this was done last night. So I am allowed to speak the truth and change the page to the correct information. Please do not take this the wrong way and assume I am shouting at you because some people sometimes misinterpret my comments. --90.213.2.118talk to me 22:04, November 16, 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!
RE: The General talk page apology[[edit source]]
That's okay. Sometimes when two people edit at the same time, such an edit-clash can occur, and one of the users' content may not appear. No worries. --DCLM ☎ 21:32, December 12, 2015 (UTC)
