Forum:The Panopticon

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Welcome to the Panopticon!

Like its namesake, our Panopticon is the home of all our greatest debates (though inclusion debates are held elsewhere). Here we discuss the maintenance and the development of the wiki itself.

Discover the home of the Time Lords. We all need to start somewhere, right?

Be aware. This space is open to all users — even if you haven't edited a single article yet, you are welcome to post here. The more voices that flow through this forum, the stronger our wiki will become.

Have an idea about how to improve the wiki? Don't understand why we do things as we do? Notice the same problem across several pages? You've come to the right place. Pull up a chair.

What to keep in mind

Please note that spoilers are only allowed on threads which clearly mark themselves as spoilery in the title. This forum isn't really the place for discussions about the narrative, anyway. Indeed, the Panopticon is not to be used for general conversation or off-topic discussions that do not directly concern the editing, philosophies or policy framework of the Tardis Data Core.

In general, any issues that relate to specific articles should be posted on that article's talk page. However, some issues are complex enough to merit discussion here. And, of course, if your point may have implications for other, similar pages, it's best to bring the issue here. Whenever an editing issue affects multiple pages, it's really a policy issue more than a small-scale inquiry.
