User talk:120d
120dThanks 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) 23:15, April 2, 2013
Upcoming releases
Hi! Please don't post any information about upcoming releases. This is a violation of Tardis:Spoiler policy. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 19:04, September 9, 2013 (UTC)
Eleventh Doctor
Hi! Please do not add a "fun facts" section to articles. If it's a valid point, there will be a place for it. Shambala108 ☎ 23:24, November 28, 2013 (UTC)
Block
Please don't personally attack people as you did at Thread:145998, because such attacks obligate me to block you, as made perfectly explicit at Tardis:No personal attacks#Consequences of personal attacks. The fact that you apologised on Digifiend's page was a positive action on your part, and so the block will be considerably less than it might have been. I'm going to have to ask — well, okay, compel — you to take a break for 72 hours. When you come back, please remember that it's Christmas, the season of good will towards others.
Also, please remember when you leave a message on someone's talk page to sign your post with four tildes, like this:
text more text lots of text ~~~~

Spoiler policy
This is now the second time you have been warned about violating Tardis:Spoiler policy. Please read it immediately, and for good measure, read the warning on the wiki's front page regarding the early showings of series 8 episodes. Shambala108 ☎ 00:16, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
- It is not a spoiler. If you are talking about the episode name itself, then that has been confirmed. If you are talking about the trailer, it was released on the Doctor Who YouTube channel here: <removed per Tardis:Video policy>
Since it is a trailer, there is very little probability that it will be in the episode. - 120d
- Read the spoiler policy before you try to argue that this info is not a spoiler. While you're at it, also read Tardis:Video policy. I've removed your video link because we never allow off-site links to videos. Shambala108 ☎ 00:42, August 10, 2014 (UTC)
- The rules seem to be a bit hazy on videos because it states that links to videos on user name spaces, like this one are allowed. However, it says to videos you have created. I am not entirely sure that you should have deleted the link. Things like this should really be clarified better. It doesn't really say anything about links for spoiler videos in either the spoilers section or the links section. For the info on the Eleventh Doctor, again the info is not very clear on the Spoiler policy. It says "A spoiler is any information — in-universe or behind-the-scenes — coming from a story which has not yet been officially released in its entirety." "Information" is the key word, is it all information or is it just plot? Since it is a voice over and about 10% of the time has a voice over actually been in the episode, I think that it should be allowed. However, I will not continue to fight and start an edit war, if you agree to allow this information after the episode is released. Rufus 01:03, August 10, 2014 (UTC) 120d
