User talk:MrSiriusBlack
MrSiriusBlackThanks 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. -- CzechOut (Talk) 21:08, 2013 January 12

Talk:Tenth Doctor
I stopped in there and had a look earlier in the week. Everyone has pretty much said what needs to be said, I was going to cite the forums Shambala108 cited and CzechOut has represented the points I would have. I have added my support to theirs. I have also locked the article for 3 weeks while the discussion continues. Thanks for messaging me. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:10, January 29, 2013 (UTC)
Wiki[s name
It was changed as the result of a long discussion which you can read here. --Tangerineduel / talk 12:50, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
Wiki problems
Any problems that seem aligned to the underlying structure of the wiki, quirks of its function and the like I would suggest waiting 24 hours before worrying about. The Wikia goes through periodic hiccups where things go awry on occasion, they often rectify themselves with a little time. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:47, April 7, 2013 (UTC)
- Is this problem affecting you on other wikis you edit on? --Tangerineduel / talk 14:00, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Then, as it's affecting you on multiple wikis it's probably not a problem with this wiki. I suggest you use the Special:Contact/general form and contact Wikia and they should be able to help you. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:48, April 9, 2013 (UTC)
- It's not a problem. It's what always happens when Britain switches to BST. Please read thread:127566 for an explanation of what's going on and clues of how you can fix it.

Floor 500
Hi! Regarding your recent edit to Floor 500...If you just put [[Category:Floor 500]] on the page, it will put the page in that category. If you want to show the category name, just put a colon : in front of the word category, like this [[:Category:Floor 500]]. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 17:34, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Inappropriate fourm post
Please note that our forums are exclusively about editing or promoting this wiki. Your recent post about the Waterloo Road wiki has therefore been deleted, as allowed by T:FORUM. Please don't post to the forums in this manner again. Thanks. :)

Edit removed
I removed your recent edit to Talk:Tenth Doctor as irrelevant to the discussion. It is not your job to decide or even discuss whether someone else's post violates Tardis:No personal attacks. This particular post has already generated some questionable behavior; we don't need editors commenting on each other's tones.
You may not have seen an offensive tone to the poster's edit, but as an admin I have to look at it from the perspective of a new editor who might happen on the topic and find his tone insulting. The "no personal attack" policy specifically warns against the type of thing he posted. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 20:51, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
