Block[[edit]]
Hi! Unfortunately I have had to block you. Your post at Talk:Peter Capaldi violated Tardis:Spoiler policy. Usually I have been blocking violators for 6 months, but in my opinion the circumstances warranted only a one month break. Please take this time to familiarize yourself with our spoiler policy. You will be able to respond here on your talk page if you find it necessary. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 14:31, August 10, 2013 (UTC)
With all due respect, I must strongly protest that the mention of said actor could possibly be considered a spoiler since the BBC went to so much effort to announce it, it's mentioned on the BBC's Who website, and available on their official Youtube channels. With such publicity it can hardly be expected that the information be considered in any way 'secret'. If the implication is that we must wait for the regeneration scene to be broadcast before one can mention the actor's name then I feel this particular aspect of the spoiler policy needs revision as there won't be a single fan that is unaware by the time that happens.
Editing to add that you have also incorrectly attributed my post. I did not, in fact, create or edit anything at the Capaldi article, but rather posit an ammendment to the article Talk:Maxil --Angelus Lupus ☎ 14:42, August 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Oops you're right, thanks for catching that.
- Believe me, I understand what you're saying, and I even sympathize, but our spoiler policy is based on zero tolerance, regardless of the size or importance of the spoiler. This wiki is more concerned with what has already happened in the Doctor Who universe, not what will or might happen.
- From a practical point of view, if we allow posts for future episode, cast or crew information, and that information doesn't come to pass, then we have a lot of cleanup to do. It's easier for the wiki to wait till something actually happens before posting it. An example of this type of situation can be found at Forum:Why we sometimes protect article creation: the curious case of Dorium Maldavar.
- Thanks for your understanding. Shambala108 ☎ 17:10, August 10, 2013 (UTC)
Christmas cheer[[edit]]
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!
