User talk:86.161.93.65
86.161.93.65Thanks 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!
Thing is, though, to play the game, you do need to be logged in.
Don't get us wrong: you don't need to have a registered account to make a lot of great edits around here. But you may find that there are good reasons to create an account. For a start, we could call you by a name instead of 86.161.93.65.
Even if you decide not to register, you should be aware that we've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki.
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 users 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. SmallerOnTheOutside ☎ 11:14, September 1, 2015 (UTC)
Recent Edits
I'm going to warn you, your edits to The Forgotten Son were essentially vandalism at the last two marks. I could report you to an admin, but I will not this time.
The reason that deleting links from the page is a very bad idea is that those links are some of the only on the wikia that indicate that the pages need to exist. Note that many of the characters that you so delicately valdelized are in the book, but are not mentioned more than once. Never the less, they are still characters in the book, as much as Scared man is in Series 4. Furthermore, the thin line between character being mentioned in prose and appearing is very thin, and even if he does not appear he needs to be noted so that people know that the page needs to be made. Because it does. Very much. If anything, you can put (mentioned) next to the name and move them to the bottom, but do not remove them.
And I must stress very clearly that putting your opinions on a page's layout on the page and not on a talk page is very, very not cool. If you have an issue bring it to a talk page. Don't vandalize pages. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 20:13, September 2, 2015 (UTC)
