User talk:Doctor1963
Doctor1963Thanks 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. CzechOut ☎ 12:20, July 1, 2018 (UTC)
Infoboxes[[edit source]]
Hi, as many novice users, your first attempts at editing concentrated on the most visible part of the page, the infobox. Please do not edit them. They are mostly exactly the way they are supposed to be. If you think something is wrong, please ask one of Tardis:Administrators to explain the rules that led to the current situation.
Sorry to have blocked you. Unfortunately, this is usually the only way to attract someone’s attention when they are new to the wiki. Amorkuz ☎ 12:49, July 1, 2018 (UTC)
Please stop correcting things that require no correction[[edit source]]
I'm sorry to stop your editing again. But this wiki is 14 years old. Thinking that well-loved stories of the classical era require corrections of a novice editor is a bit of hubris, if you really think of it. You would do well to observe edits of others and read T:CAST and Tardis:Cast and crew lists. Please do not force me to block you in order to stop your edits that typically violate policies you are not aware of. Amorkuz ☎ 18:56, July 1, 2018 (UTC)
Last warning[[edit source]]
Please stop editing infoboxes. They are the way they should be. Your edits try to undo the result of 14 years of community discussions and practices. Amorkuz ☎ 19:01, July 1, 2018 (UTC)
