User talk:DoctorWho23
Hello, We're very glad to see that you are enjoying the Doctor Who discussion page on the Wikia. However, please bear in mind that the Wikia has rules that need to be fallowed.
You may not ever, under any circumstances, give advice on how to illegally obtain episodes of Doctor Who, either physically or digitally. You have recommended going to sites that do not have the right to stream Doctor Who. Please just play it safe: avoid answering questions about getting episodes of Doctor Who in the wake of its departure from Netflix and Hulu.
Again, we're very glad that you enjoy this new product, and we hope that you continue using it. Here is a link the the policies: http://tardis.wikia.com/d/g I encourage you to give them a read when you have the chance. --TheOriginalDoctor ☎ 01:49, August 6, 2016 (UTC)
DoctorWho23Thanks 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. Josiah Rowe ☎ 16:34, November 27, 2017 (UTC)
Getting help[[edit source]]
Hi, please in the future refrain from claiming credentials that are not factual. The welcome template above provides links to the most important policies you should follow on the wiki. If you have questions about them, please do not bother other regular users but do not hesitate to ask our Tardis:Administrators team. Thank you for your attention.

Disputed claim[[edit source]]
You are clearly a novice user, so I hope that your claims stem from your misunderstandings rather than deliberate attempts at a misrepresentation. I will try to explain to you why I had to refute your claim. Please reply on my talk page to indicate you understand and will be more careful in your statements in the future.
- You left a message to Tweedlebean on the talk page of the Tardis wiki, of which I am an admin. That is why I had to react. Messages left in the Discussions are also in principle my purview but are routinely handled by Discussions moderators such as TheOriginalDoctor, who left you a warning above.
- In that original post, you called yourself "one of the oldest users here". Later, in your message to me you stated, "i am one of the oldest!You see i joined first at 2012 or 11 i cant remember" and then "i joined the wiki at those to years 2011 n 12". I find it strange that you can't remember this information given that your User Profile Masthead at the top of this page states "joined: 3/10/11". But leaving all that aside, the first edit on this wiki took place on 16 February 2005. Even if you did join in 2011, it was 6 years after the wiki was founded. You are not even close to being one of the oldest users here on the wiki.
- To be clear, you are not yet a user on this wiki as you have never edited a page other than talk pages of other users. What you did was participate in Discussions, which is a secondary attachment to this wiki. Being a Discussions participant does not make you a wiki user, which is why you never received an automated welcome message above with all the policies until I enforced it on your page.
- Even with respect to Discussions, your earliest post I could find is from May 25, 2016. If you posted in 2011 or 2012, it should not be a problem for you to provide a link.
- You claimed both to Tweedlebean and to me that you "ve been offline for about a year n a half" and "left this wiki one year or maybe more than a year i think" respectively. However, I can see your posts at Discussions from July 2017, June 2017, May 2017, April 2017, etc. So your claim of being away for 1-1.5 years does not check out either.
- Finally, Tweedlebean was absolutely correct in pointing out in Discussions that only episodes that are already released can be discussed both on the wiki in general and, in particular, in Discussions. That is why the thread where your exchange took place was deleted by the moderator. The relevant policy that you now need to carefully read is Tardis:Spoiler policy. This policy is also mentioned in the specific rules regarding Discussions [1]. Please read them too.
As I already asked earlier, after reading the relevant policies, please leave a message at my talk page confirming your understanding of the policies and promising to avoid false statements in the future. Amorkuz ☎ 20:21, December 2, 2017 (UTC)
