User talk:DiSoRiEnTeD1
DiSoRiEnTeD1Thanks 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. SOTO ☎ 09:37, March 27, 2020 (UTC)
Spoilers
Hi please carefully read through Tardis:Spoiler policy. The novel pages (and accompanying images) that you created have been deleted for now in accordance with the policy. Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 14:17, May 12, 2020 (UTC)
Discussion policy
Hi please carefully read Tardis:No personal attacks and in the future be careful how you talk to others thanks Shambala108 ☎ 00:50, May 21, 2020 (UTC)
- i think i know which comment you mean, but would you be able to specify so im absolutely sure? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
Inuse tag
In addition to the fact that the picture you added to Doctors Assemble! was inappropriate, note that you're not supposed to edit any page with an Template:Inuse tag on it. The tag indicates that someone is currently performing a lengthy edit they haven't published yet and is meant to prevent editing conflicts. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:13, May 23, 2020 (UTC)
- you should not be jumping onto a new release and preventing others from editing it. how is that fair? DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎
- It's not supposed to be fair or unfair: it's supposed to prevent several people starting to write a popular page like that at once, and half of them losing their work in the edit conflict. I've finished what I wanted to do now, if you want to make edits. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 17:41, May 23, 2020 (UTC)
Companion thread
I don't see how the message to User:CzechOut was in any way rude. I merely asked him if my interpretation of the situation was correct. It is his prerogative, as an admin with experience of similar past debates, to decide if it is or isn't and then get back to me. I didn't reference you either so I'm not sure what your problem is. --Borisashton ☎ 22:11, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
- it seemed like a sneaky attempt to point out that my discussion needed deleted by admins, despite me telling you that it was about two different topics. if thats not the case i apologise. DiSoRiEnTeD1 ☎

- I'll also note that other users pointed out that the other rationale for leaving the thread open, placing companions into the slots that already exist, isn't necessarily sufficient for a thread to exist. So it's not as if he just hadn't considered this angle. It's not sneaky to ask an admin to close a thread he doesn't think should exist, though I don't think that's what he did here. Najawin ☎ 22:21, May 25, 2020 (UTC)
- i dont think he represented the thread correctly. if he thinks that the second topic isnt worthy that would be fine, but he only mentioned one part of it - that i had already told him i was distancing myself from and focusing on the second part, that is why i thought it was rude. as i said, if it was unintentional i apologise - it did not need two others jumping in telling me to calm down or other suggestions.
