User talk:-TARDIS-
-TARDIS-Thanks 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. CzechOut ☎ 20:33, May 18, 2013 (UTC)
Pics[[edit source]]
Hi :) Thanks for your enthusiastic attempts to improve our collection of pictures. However, it's really important you understand our rules governing image uploads. All of your work had to be deleted because it violated those rules. Please read the following pages so that you don't continue to make the same errors:
Here's a short list of our most important rules. You should be able to see by reading this list exactly why your images were deleted:
- photos and screenshots must be jpgs or pngs — not any other format
- images should be no narrower than 420px
- infobox images must clearly illustrate their subjects at 420px widths
- files must be appropriately licensed
Thanks again for trying to help us out. We look forward to your future contributions. :)

- Yes, there were vast improvements on this second attempt at the pic over the first. Thanks for that! But you have to consider what the pic looks like at the thumbnail level. You might be able to make out the picture just fine when it's at full width, but you must be able to make out the pic when it's actually on the page at 250px or less. And this pic is just too dark for that. Please see Tardis:Guide to images#Images must work as thumbnails.
