Have you started a Doctor Who wiki in a language other than English? Great! Here's how you go about linking to us.

Have you started a Doctor Who wiki in a language other than English? Would you like to be able to easily create interlanguage links between your page on, say, the Eleventh Doctor, and our page? If so, just go to this thread and tell give us a link to your wiki. We'll take a look at it and then put in a request to link our two wikis together.

Please note that we cannot grant requests in:

  • Bulgarian / Български
  • Dutch / Nederlands
  • Finnish / Suomi
  • French / Français
  • German / Deutsch
  • Hebrew / עברית
  • Italian / Italiano
  • Polish / Polski
  • Romanian / Română
  • Russian / Русский
  • Spanish / Español
  • Portuguese / Português
  • Welsh / Cymraeg

We can only have one wiki per language, and we already have affiliates in those languages.

The rules

There are only two rules to this process:

  1. You must have at least 30 pages of content (in namespace 0) before we can grant your request. We want to make sure that you're growing your wiki and attracting a few editors to help you.
  2. Your wiki must have a URL — or at least a URL mask — in the format of languagecode.doctorwho.wikia.com. This makes it easy for people to know how to find your site. What's the French version of this site? fr.doctorwho.wikia.com. What's the Hebrew? he.doctorwho.wikia.com. What's the Russian? ru.doctorwho.wikia.com.[1]

Tardis Admin note: After you've reviewed the request and found it acceptable, you must go to community:Community Central:interwiki requests and formally make the request of Wikia. Wikia no longer handles these sorts of request through Special:Contact.

  1. Why do we have this rule if our URL is tardis.wikia.com? Because technically our URL is doctorwho.wikia.com, so that serves as the base URL for all other sites. If your site currently has a different URL format, don't worry. It's easy to fix. And if you want to keep a different URL as the visible URL, that's cool, too. For instance, the French site has the visible URL of docteurwho.wikia.com, and we have the visible URL of tardis.wikia.com.
