User talk:Charles RB
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.
Recent edits[[edit source]]
Hi, thanks for your recent edits. Just a small note, references to stuff within the Doctor Who universe should be under the 'references' section header, whilst links to other stories go under continuity. (It's about separating the in-universe and out-of-universe). Thanks. (See also Tardis:Format for Novels, the referencing and continuity sections are applicable to any stories) --Tangerineduel 15:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
- and in articles about people/places/things in the Doctor Who universe (or Real World people/places/things from a Whoniverse POV), all out-of-universe information goes under Behind the Scenes at the end. only exceptions for articles with a Real World tag. --Stardizzy2 14:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
Past tense[[edit source]]
Ive noticed that some of your edits are mostly in the past tense but there are still some "is"'s in there. Please could you make sure that all edits are written in past tense please. Revanvolatrelundar 14:07, November 4, 2010 (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!
Angus Goodman[[edit source]]
I seem to have missed the dialogue that mentions Goodman in The Stockbridge Showdown and I can't find it. Could you maybe point me in the right direction? C o T ☎ 01:04, May 28, 2016 (UTC)

Video links[[edit source]]
Hey, just so you know, the Wiki is not supposed to give links to external videos, as you have done at "The Leader". Either the video must be uploaded to the Wiki properly (suggest it at Tardis talk:Video recommendations), or you must find some other way of citing the information; perhaps there is an "official" social media post, or blog article, with the video embedded?

For(u)m Letter[[edit source]]
Hey there, I hope your Halloween was decent. As you might know, we've not had forums for over two years at this point. A few of the regular editors have been having a discussion on this topic at Forum talk:Index and we'd like the input of other prominent editors if you have the inclination. Cheers.
