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:

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:

List of companions[[edit source]]

Hi, before editing main 'list' style pages you may wish to put forth your views on the talk page. As most of the companions and the layout of the article have a (general) consensus. Additionally preview changes thoroughly to ensure edits do not effect usability, functionality and easy readability of article. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:35, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Page deletion[[edit source]]

Hiya :) I'm sorry you're distraught about having your work deleted. However, page deletions are common on a wiki. I myself have a ton of work that no longer exists on the wiki. People hit on topics from time to time which are not particularly clear to other people, even though they may seem perfectly obvious to them.

"Sequel" isn't a good word to use in a show about time travel. Is, for example, The Snowmen a sequel to The Web of Fear — or is it the prequel? Depends whom you're talking about. For the Great Intelligence, Snowmen is first. But for the Doctor, it's Web (or even Abominable).

Which came first, Snakedance or Kinda? To the objective view of history, Snakedance. But to Tegan and the Doctor personally, it's Kinda. It's all "wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey".

Truth is, we already have a page that covers much of the same ground, but which uses a much less difficult phrase: story arc

Our pages should be as clear as possible. In my estimation, there was no way to make that article clear, because the concept doesn't of a "sequel" doesn't apply in Doctor Who as it does in other fictions. For that reason, it seemed an uncontroversial candidate for deletion.

Please don't take this deletion to mean that your work is not desired — even needed — here. It's just a little bump in the road.

Infoboxes[[edit source]]

Hi! I wanted to direct your attention to a feature of infoboxes, in regard to your edits at The Light at the End. Specifically, the "Doctor" field in story infoboxes. This field can only take one name, no matter how many Doctors take part in the story. The infobox is designed this way and will not be changed. Therefore, we have to "choose" one Doctor, based on prominence in the story, to be the infobox Doctor. The rest have to be placed in the "featuring" field of the infobox. Any page that has multiple Doctors in the Doctor field will be fixed. Thanks! Shambala108 17:23, October 31, 2013 (UTC)

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]

Happy holidays!

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!
