User talk:Bhind45
Bhind45Thanks 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. -- Doug86 (Talk) 05:00, April 7, 2013
Nicholas Briggs[[edit source]]
Hi! I had to revert your edit to the Nicholas Briggs page because we don't allow information about unaired stories on any pages except the Series 7 page and Howling:The Howling. You can read the details at Tardis:Spoiler policy. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 05:25, April 7, 2013 (UTC)

Christmas cheer[[edit source]]
As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.
This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!
We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.
2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
Appearances tables[[edit source]]
Hi! I'm truly sorry that I have to remove your painstakingly collected information about appearances. The problem with it is that it violates the long-standing policy of the wiki that all media be treated equally. There is no reason to make space in the table for appearances of the Ninth Doctor in the television Series 10, which are non-existent, but at the same time ignore the Ninth Doctor novels or the Titan Publishing Group's Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor range. The only thing I can recommend in the future: if you have a big project in mind that would take you a lot of effort, it's better to consult with one of the admins first to make sure that it would not violate any policies. I really understand where you're coming from. But the appearances are tracked in a special page Ninth Doctor - list of appearances, which is structured in a particular way.

Hi, I would appreciate it if you didn't test things on the main wiki pages. It is very easy to create a page User:Bhind45/Sandbox and flesh out your proposals there. Please understand that you are proposing modifications to the part of the wiki that contains vital information used in everyday research by most regular contributors. Such changes should not be implemented as a test and should go through vetting and discussions. A real discussion requires thinking about the issues at hand. Rushing it is very dangerous. I and other admins will respond to you. But you should not expect a response immediately. Meanwhile having this clearly laid out in the sandbox would help others form their opinion.

Hi! I don't think that's what the 'appearance' section is for. We have pages like this for that: Twelfth_Doctor_-_list_of_appearances
