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:
- the listing of all our help, policy and guideline pages
- our Manual of Style
- our image use policy
- our user page policy
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 an admin.
If you want help, you'll need to tell me what exactly you want help with. But I am willing to help you if you ask. The Thirteenth Doctor 22:38, October 5, 2010 (UTC)
- Help:Editing should give you tips on how to edit. The Tardis:Manual of Style and Tardis:Layout guide will give you details on how to lay out articles. All the help you need will be available in the Tardis:Help section.
- On another note, whilst I am a fan of Charlie Mc Donnell, I don't think if he needs an article for himself. Doctor Who fan music mentions his involvement with Chameleon circuit, but other than that information, there'd be nothing else about any involvement with Doctor Who to put on his page. Other than the fact he's a YT celeb, he's no different to any other fan, so I'd advise against creating a page for him. --The Thirteenth Doctor 12:59, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
- Once the blogs start to air he can get a page. It was actually recently discussed about creating pages prematurely as they often end up with numerous edits, conflicting rumours etc all before the actual thing they are about appears or airs. See here. As soon as they start to air, feel free to create a page, both for them and for Charlie. --The Thirteenth Doctor 19:44, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
