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. Revanvolatrelundar ☎ 20:34, March 27, 2014 (UTC)
Monobook queries[[edit source]]
Unfortunately, I'm swamped with work right now. However, this probably works out to your advantage, as we have a great resource on Wikia for MB lovers! Please proceed to w:c:monobook, and ask your questions there. They love design-related questions like this!

- Ah, thank you! I left a message over there, and hope they can help me. Sorry to bother you here with an unrelated question - Digifiend always uses tardis as an example when we deal with administrative decisions.

Help request[[edit source]]
Which wiki was this on? And when you say "it" removed your bureaucrat rights, what "it" are you referring to? Do you think you encountered a bug? Or did you just make a mistake? If it's a bug, we need to take further action. But if you simply accidentally unchecked the "bureaucrat" option on your own user rights, Wikia engineers can be given the night off. Lemme know more, and I'll try to help.

- It was on the Chouseishin Wiki - chouseishin,wikia.com. I think I might have made a mistake. I am not sure that I was not on my own page while trying to do it. I'm continuing to build what I can, but alas without bcrat I can't give Digifiend rights (including his own bcrat) to help with the CSS and templates.

- Thanks to Semanticdrifter, I am a bcrat once more! And I have handed out the rights as intended previously. Thank you for the help and sorry for bugging you on your wiki, hard to grow a new wiki without fellow admins to help out.
