User talk:Rachel Churcher
Rachel ChurcherThanks 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. Shambala108 ☎ 18:20, March 5, 2019 (UTC)
Mars Wilderness
Hi, another admin here. I saw your message to Shambala108 and would ask you for a bit of patience and trust in the process. Other writers may well have teams (on a side note, our policies strongly discourage any staff involved in the creation of a piece to edit related pages), but we also have a community. One of the reason I love Doctor Who is because I can see people making it supporting each other. It's a Doctor Who family more than industry. And while Obverse Books may seem like a distant relative, we do have active editors who are ardent supporters of Obverse, Iris, Magrs, Mars, etc.
So could you trust us, fans, to do you justice and wikify your story for you? If it is something that would make an actual difference, I'm confident we can find editors willing and able to provide a synopsis and all the necessary hooks placing your story within DWU. As someone who has to enforce the prohibition on you editing your own story, I feel responsible to ensure that edits do happen. Please know that we heard you and just need some time. I've already made some inquiries. Just sit back and enjoy. With respect, Amorkuz ☎ 15:15, March 6, 2019 (UTC)
