User talk:CatherineMunro
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.
Page deletion[[edit source]]
Hi, thought I'd post this on your talk page rather than carry the conversion on on Doug86's talk page. I understand Dudman's wishes, as I've just done a Google search and the first page result is this wiki's article page on her. (And I can fully understand that she doesn't want to be forever connected to Doctor Who (similar things have been said by numerous actors who have appeared on the programme over its years)
As far as proceeding goes. As she has requested that we remove the page this will of course be done, however do you think it would still be okay to have a page along the lines of 'List of Doctor Who Adventures Sub Editors', that way we maintain a collected information source without having a dedicated link to the page. (I'll creation protect the page after deleting it to prevent any later creation of the page). If such a page exists there'll probably need to be an intro paragraph stating/clarifying why some people don't have pages dedicated to them. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 15:18, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- Claudia D. should work in a list. However, there is an issue of the Magazine articles, the Magazines are pretty public and all we're really doing is re-writing what is available to the public in the Magazine. So the Dudman listings on the Magazine pages can tunneled towards the list page, but the name will still remain on the individual Magazine article pages, as they're not specifically focused on Claudia, but rather on the article's subject matter I hope this is acceptable.
- I know this is on the same field as everything else, but we're not talking a dedicated page, this is something covering a magazine where she is given credit (the same credit as in the magazine). If we changed her name listing on the magazine article pages I just feel that we're compromising the accuracy of the article pages because we're manipulating the information. --Tangerineduel 15:59, 7 August 2009 (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!
