The Celestial Toyroom/Doctor Who Answers: a different Doctor Who wiki experience
There's only a few more days until Doctor Who returns to our screens, and it's a time for all Doctor Who fans to get excited about the new content, new information, and new stories that will be presented to us so soon. You can feel the excitement rising here as the counter on the front page slowly ticks down to zero, and editors wait to jump on the create button as soon as the credits roll. However, I would like to inform you of another wiki which is also counting down the seconds until series 8 with impatience. That is the Doctor Who Answers Wiki, the answers wiki dedicated to Doctor Who and its spin-offs in all media.
As you here present articles, we present answers to all the burning questions others have about the Whoniverse. Think of it like the Reference Desk here, except about a thousand times bigger (well, about 220 times bigger, but who's counting?). Like here, we allow information from just about any licensed story set in the Doctor Who Universe, but our answers tend to be more short-form and specific compared to the long, broad articles found here. However, this allows people to ask about information from interesting perspectives, allowing a different look into the world of Doctor Who (and its spin-offs, of course). So while we cover practically the same areas of Doctor Who as this wiki, we provide a very different editing experience.
There are many editing opportunities to be had at Doctor Who Answers. Many new questions are asked each day which need answering, rephrasing, and categorising, and more still in our question archive which need the same treatment, along with editing those old answers to improve them and add citations. Experts in the non-TV stories are especially needed, as most of the current editors are fairly TV-focused and it would be beneficial to have more information from other sources added to answers to expand them. Whether you're a Doctor Who expert or a relative newbie, there is something for everyone to do at Doctor Who Answers!
So what are you waiting for?
Some questions you might find interesting:
- Has the Sixth Doctor ever worn a blue suit in the TV series or is it just in the audio adventures?
- Why is the Dalek self destruct different in Asylum of the Daleks than in the episode Dalek?
- What song was playing during the regeneration scene from the Tenth to the Eleventh Doctor?
- In which episode was it stated that the Doctor can regenerate over five hundred times?
- Is John Lumic the alternate reality version of Davros?
Note: I am aware that some users here had a bad experience with DWA in the past, but I would like to mention that since then, the admin team has completely changed along with our attitude, and we would love to welcome back all the old users who previously left us.
