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:
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. Skittles the hog ☎ 18:08, October 13, 2014 (UTC)
Images[[edit source]]
Hi! Please be aware that on this wiki we have quite a lot of rules for uploading and using images. The images you've uploaded today had to be deleted for not having a license, but there were other issues too, regarding image size and placement. Please read through all of our images policies, which you can find at Thread:148148 before you upload or place any more images. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 14:54, October 14, 2014 (UTC)
- In addition, it's not necessary to include your user name in the names you give to images; it can cause confusion because image named are supposed to clearly name the image. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 17:09, October 14, 2014 (UTC)
Actually, we have two kinds of pages on the wiki: in universe and out of universe. In universe (IU) is for story elements: people, locations, objects in the stories (like the sonic screwdriver), etc. Out of universe (OOU) is for people who work in the DWU, story pages, etc. We don't put OOU images on IU pages and vice verse, which is why I had to remove your images of the IU characters from the OOU actor page.
And don't worry, it's confusing to a lot of people. It can take a little while to get the hang of it. One clue is that OOU pages should have a "real world" tag at the top of the page to help make the distinction a bit more clear. Shambala108 ☎ 15:15, October 15, 2014 (UTC)
