Thanks for your recent edits! I'm Jimbo, your robot wiki representative! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is actually a great time to have joined, because we're now fully independent, and working on a host of new features!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a fan written 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 use another form of English, 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:

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:

Hi. Unless the user is doing something specifically against our Tardis:Vandalism policy, or being abusive towards users (see Tardis:What the TARDIS Index File is not#What the TARDIS Index File Doctor Who Wiki community is not) there isn't much in the way of our policy that I can do anything. The user has been warned not to deleted other's posts or talk pages. Please feel free to inform me should any of this escalate into what I've described. --Tangerineduel 07:55, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


User page

IP user has been blocked for 6 months. I can also delete your user page (so it goes back to not existing) if you want. --Tangerineduel 13:10, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

Large spacing

Please do not large amounts of spacing to articles. Thank You. Bigshowbower 11:18, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

I may have gotten the wrong end of the stick Im sorry, but either way if you do see the large spacing please remove it instead of leaving. If you have problems inform an admin. --Bigshowbower 12:23, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

I've noticed that the new default "magic" editor likes to introduce large spacing all over the place. I've set my default to the standard editor and never have the issues with extra spacing. Just fyi. -- sulfur 15:20, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

How do you change it, exactly? Delton Menace 16:25, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I missed that you'd asked this along the way. I'm guessing (from the random spacing you're still introducing) that you're still using the rich text editor?
If so, I would strongly recommend going to the "more" option in the upper right, choosing preferences, scroll down to "editing preferences", and turn off the "rich text editing". It does a lot of really poor formatting things to articles and makes a multitude of changes that should not be made. -- sulfur 22:27, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

thanks

Thanks for agreeing with me on Forum:Children of Earth. It sucks how all the admins and greatly respected users are against it, though. Still, thanks. I'm A Hydroponic Tomato! Bigredrabbit 23:30, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Lucy Saxon

However we're applying our own POV to things by stating absolutely that she is dead. Commentaries mean nothing, as it's what happens on screen that counts (they can be acknowledged, of course, in out-of-universe real world content). To give an example, someone could write that Harry Sullivan is dead, based on the fact Ian Marter is dead and that the first episode of Sarah Jane Adventures includes a line of dialogue that strongly suggests Harry is no longer alive. But unless they out and say it, we can't say with 100% certainty for any character. Alternately, Geoff Noble is definitely dead, because this has now been referenced directly in Partners in Crime and indirectly in the End of Time finale. If Moffat decides to write a future story with the Master (who likewise cannot be said to have died) and Lucy, there is nothing on screen that would prevent him from doing so. 23skidoo 18:50, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Spacing on articles

You're still adding a ton of blank spacing to articles when you edit them. Are you still using the "fancy" editor?

If so, I would strongly recommend going to the "more" option in the upper right, choosing preferences, scroll down to "editing preferences", and turn off the "rich text editing". It does a lot of really poor formatting things to articles and makes a multitude of changes that should not be made. -- sulfur 16:50, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

Series 5 Discontinuity

The thing is it should not be in The End of Time, the suit you have seen is from the trailer for Series 5 and or set photo it has no place on the The End of Time page. When the first episode of Series 5 airs, which shows the suit and it being ripped you can then raise that issue. --Bigshowbower 12:07, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

The End of Time

Is it me or is The End of Time discontinuity section getting out of hand, I had to remove a few things regarding Rassilon and his immortality. I would appreciate if you can watch out for that section as well.

I think I might removed anything regarding Rassilon's immortality and as you said bring the two Time Lords to Earth as well. I think its descended into just plain and annoying nitpicking. --Bigshowbower 03:57, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, here we go again! The stupid questions return! That question regarding the two Weeping Time Lords going to Earth was wrote down again, and the answer removed (again), a stupid question of why the Master counted how many times he hit Rassilion (does it really matter?), which was four counts (you'd think they would have guessed by now), why the Master had power (answered a billion times in the story, to do with his life force), and why the Vinvoochi left the Gate behind (they clearly said they were leaving Earth before it got "knocked out of orbit").

Why do people ask such stupid questions that have little meaning, and are answered in the episode itself? Well, it is either questions clearly answered in the episode, or questions that have nothing to do with discontinuity and have little meaning. *sigh* Of course, I cleared the pointless questions out, they were flooding the discontinuity section and had no meaning. Delton Menace 23:55, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Partners in Crime placement

Yeah, its because some stupid line in The Fires of Pompeii states that Partners in Crime is in 2008. This is a hot topic of fan debate, but it is easy just to put PiC in 2008 and The Sontaran Stratagem and Journey's End in 2009. I'm A Hydroponic Tomato!

My own wiki!

I have my very own wiki about Torchwood! Do you want to see it! You can see it here. I am no longer active but you can still email me. Please feel free to join me and edit. Trikster87, 16:46, 11th April 2010 (UTC)

Confirmation of Mistake

  • I seen your last edit on the Eleventh Hour explaining that Steven Moffat had confirmed they had made a mistake with the date on rorys badge. Where is the source of mr moffat saying this? could you please share? Many Thanks -- Michael Downey 15:06, April 17, 2010 (UTC).

The Woman = Peri

I know how much you enjoy ridiculous conspiracy theories that new character X is actually classic character Y in disguise. So, since I didn't want to add this to "The Woman = The Rani" thread, but I didn't want to throw it away, here it is, in the long, unedited version, for your education:

When last we saw Peri, she had married King Yrcanos, then convinced him to give up his throne and the joys of battle to become a professional wrestler, with her as his manager.

But we all know what happens to wrestlers after their career is over: first they become movie stars, then Governors of US states. Unfortunately, if current trends continue, by the time Yrcanos reaches that point in his career, all 50 states will already have actor-wrestlers as governors, and there will be dozens more waiting in the wings.

Meanwhile, on Gallifrey, after awakening Rassilon and building a replica of the Phantom Menace Galactic Senate set to hold their High Council meetings in, the Time Lords realized there actually weren't enough of them to fill the council hall, so they were forced to time-scoop extra leaders from other civilizations. Among them was Indiana Secretary of Transportation K. Yrcanos, with his wife Gilliam. (Although this is never quite established in canonical sources, it is well-established that non-Gallifreyans can become Time Lords, which is close enough.)

Now, how do we know that Yrcanos and Peri were the two mysterious Time Lords who stood aside from the others, heads down, and that Peri was the one who contacted Wilf?

  • Those significant looks from Wilf to Donna, indicating the grandchild relationship. How many people in the Whoniverse traveled with the Doctor (like Wilf), and also had grandchildren associated with the Doctor (like Donna)? There's only one other: Peri, whose grandchildren met the Doctor in DWM: The Age of Chaos.
  • The two characters are clearly unhappy with Rassilon's plan for the Final Sanction. Why would any Time Lord feel that way? One obvious reason is that there would be no one to fight, ever again. Certainly an understandable sentiment for, say, a Sontaran, but what Time Lords other than Yrcanos and his feisty wrestling-manager/guerilla-leader wife would feel the same way? (Unless, perhaps, Leela one day became a Time Lord, but that's just silly and can be rejected out of hand.)
  • The Woman is played by Claire Bloom, an English actress who is famous for multiple roles which she played with a fake American accent. Is this true of any other major actress from Doctor Who other than Nicola Bryant?
  • Bloom's first American film where she used her native accent was The Buccaneer, where she costarred as Miss Brown.

The confusion about the Rani is simple. When the Rani attempts to capture the Seventh Doctor and Ace by putting the Doctor through a series of bizarre illusions involving characters from his favorite soap opera, there is only one time when two companions are present. Ace transforms from companion to companion, one at a time, until suddenly, somehow, Sarah Jane is replaced by both Nyssa and Peri. This makes no sense at first. However, notice that this is the first time the Rani is actually within eyeshot and earshot of the Doctor and Ace (appearing as the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa). And the cliffhanger shows the "Fifth Doctor" and "Nyssa" reacting appropriately, but not "Peri". Why? Because this "Peri", unlike all of the other companions, was not actually Ace distorted into another companion by using the memory of the Doctor, but a projection of the Rani.

So, the Woman=Rani theory only makes sense if you assume that Peri is still a projection of the Rani. However, the original poster is clearly forgetting the end of that story, where... well, I'm not entirely sure what happens, but I'm pretty sure the Doctor overcomes the illusions somehow or other, which means the Peri projection is no longer effective.

Therefore, the Woman must be Peri.

It's so simple, I don't know why everyone else doesn't see it.

(And yes, I did rewatch Dimensions in Time for this. Sad, eh?) --Falcotron 13:48, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Accidentally put story note in Rumours section.

My mistake putting the "narration" bit in the rumours, i meant to put it in story notes. Sorry about that. Rawrgoaway 21:42, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Tabitha Pond

Can you please tell me where the source is that Amy's mother's name is Tabitha. Please add this source to The Pandorica Opens article before adding the name again. The Thirteenth Doctor 08:54, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Editing

Please try and use the preview button during editing to see if you have not left anything out, instead of making mulitple edits like you did with the Pandorica Opens page. It's very tedious for the admins who have to manually patrol all edits. HellKaiserryo12 (Talk•Contribs) 03:21, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
