User talk:Banarama
BanaramaThanks 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 ☎ 23:28, July 30, 2018 (UTC)
Courtesy reply[[edit source]]
Since you are so involved in the case of User:Chasenina1 that you visited my wiki, I feel it would be impolite to leave your intervention without a reply, on top of my extended reply to Chasenina1 himself.
First of all, thank you for acknowledging that blocking is a prerogative of local admin based on local rules. I also appreciate your wish to mediate and help a fellow editor. However, as an admin, my concern is not any single editor but rather the correctness of the wiki and congenial relationships among the editors, to support which it is necessary to follow simple rules of communication.
Also, in the interests of impartiality, I had to review this case in-depth, including erased or doctored messages (see User talk:Chasenina1). I sincerely hope you did not spend as much time on it as I did. You can read my detailed findings at the same talk page.
As for the problems an editor might have with an extension, this is not at issue here. All novice users make mistakes, and the source of these mistakes is completely immaterial. The issue is the insistence on repeating mistakes and demonstrated inability to follow rules, coupled with the penchant for bothering a lot of people who are not in any way responsible for the mistakes of this user.
I thank you for being a good Samaritan and trying to help out but this time, unfortunately, I must decline your advice. One of the latest messages of Chasenina1 over at Community Central, the one where he expresses a desire to block people himself, is yet another proof that I cannot subject other editors at Tardis to his harassment.

- Second this, especially the appreciation for your efforts. Shambala108 ☎ 00:11, August 20, 2018 (UTC)
- All right, thank you for your reply — as I've said before, it's your judgement, so apologies for any interference with the local process here.
- On a sidenote, ViewRemoved is an invaluable script for viewing replies. Hope it helps :)
