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:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

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!

Survivor Wiki

Sorry, I don't know where else to contact you.

Can I ask you why you blocked me? :| I didn't post any spoilers for any ongoing or upcoming season.

And if I did, which I didn't, then I apologize. I should at least have been given a warning. A fucking yearlong ban without any warning whatsoever is crazy and completely out of the ordinary.

I'd like for my ban to be lifted. All I do is edit my userpage. ~ M^T_DM 23:09, August 17, 2015 (UTC)

• You created an article for Inside Survivor, a known spoiler source, and included production spoilers on it. Bwburke94 ~ Creator of All Things Brilliant! ~ 00:01, August 18, 2015 (UTC)

Titan Back-up Comics

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that we are currently sending down a final vote on the Titan back-up comics down at Thread:177099. You seemed to have a pretty strong opinion on the issue, so I just wanted to make sure that you knew that the vote was happening. The polls currently tally to three votes for the back-up strips being valid and five for them being invalid. All votes have gone towards making the WeLoveTITANS comics invalid. If you want a say in the matter, there is a week and three days left on voting. Sorry for the bother! OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 21:25, September 2, 2015 (UTC)

Forum posts

Hi! I've been meaning to address an issue with you for some time.

In your discussion posts, you have a habit of posting in what sounds like an official tone of "voice". This could give new/inexperienced users the idea that your comments are backed up by authority, when in fact you, as a non-admin, are stating your opinion of a policy in question. Instead of making flat statements about policy, it might be best to preface your comments with something like, "I think such and such policy says..." That way, if you happen to be wrong, an admin can easily correct your opinion. Flat statements that are incorrect may have to be removed.

In addition, please make sure you read a post carefully before answering. A couple of times, you have misread the post of an experienced user (who already knows the policies) and answered with a basic statement of policy, not realizing that the user was asking for something completely different.

Thanks for your attention! Shambala108 ☎ 00:29, September 25, 2015 (UTC)

Moving pages

Hi! Please note that, per Thread:128198, only admins are permitted to move pages. The thread explains the actions that non-admins can take to help out the process. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 13:34, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Forum posts revisited

Hi! I've already told you once before to moderate your tone in forum posts. You as a non-admin are not in the position of stating facts about the wiki rules. The fact that another user had to clarify your post (in Thread:192548) shows how other users might misinterpret your stance. Leave the admin jobs to the admins and stick to arguing your opinion on forum posts. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 01:48, March 25, 2016 (UTC)

WPD

I am hesitant to let out a major real-world spoiler in a thread whose name does not imply one will be found. So let me answer your curiosity here and put a link there in case others are wondering. There are two major species in Weapons of Past Destruction: the Unon and the Lect for the first 4 out of 5 issues. The Lect are presented as a robotic race with Terminator-style POV screen statistics. This is not just cliffhangers: the Lect are everywhere and everyone calls them Lect. There is one frame in Issue 1 showing an Excrothian and one frame in Issue 4 showing a Lect with the armoured suit open. For people with a very good visual memory, this was a hint, but I did not catch it. In Issue 5, it turns out that the Lect are the Excrothians. After their planet was destroyed by the Unon, they need these robotic costumes to survive. Lect, on the other hand, is the name of their god of war. Amorkuz ☎ 06:31, July 7, 2016 (UTC)

Apologies

Sorry for misinterpreting your position. It was an honest mistake. Amorkuz ☎ 07:06, December 9, 2016 (UTC)

Martha Thread

Did you ever find one of the back-ups of the Martha blogs? Or do you still need assistance in that area? OS25 (Talk) 00:17, March 12, 2017 (UTC)
