User talk:HarryPotterRules1
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.
Series 7[[edit source]]
Please do add speculation to the Series 7 page. You done this with two examples, but I cannot blame you. Firstly you put (and possible death) next to the information regarding Amy's and Rory's departure. Please note that is is only, at the moment, speculation that may die, and should also be backed up with a source. Even then it should have been added to the rumours section. The episode note should not contain that detail, even after airing.
Secondly, you added River Song to the cats section. This was without source. Please find a reliable, BBC source that states she is returning before adding it again. MM/Want to talk? 12:42, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
I cannot present the source for River Song, but I do believe that Moffatt confirmed it in an interview a few months ago. He merely said something like "and she [River] is back." --HarryPotterRules1 talk to me 21:36, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
Doctor Who TV[[edit source]]
Please see the series 7 talk page about Doctor Who TV. Thanks. MM/Want to talk? 22:25, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
Please don't delete cited material without good cause[[edit source]]
At the Brigadier, you recently deleted a whole paragraph of information, presumably because you felt that a recent television episode superseded information from various books. On this wiki, all information from valid sources is judged to be of equal weight. Simply removing cited information because you think it conflicts with televised information is not allowed. If done repeatedly, it could be considered an act of vandalism.
The Wedding of River Song is in apparent conflict with several published stories, in the same way that the DWU presents several different accounts of what happened Atlantis, how the Earth died, or what happened to the Marie Celeste. All information should be presented as equally valid so that the reader can make up her own mind. Thanks :)

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!
Speculation[[edit source]]
Hi, please don't introduce speculation, especially involving dates, into articles. Also, we never put footnotes in infoboxes. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 03:59, February 14, 2018 (UTC)
Farewell, Sarah Jane[[edit source]]
Can you please add the links to the episodes. It's not good enough to just italicise, you need to add the prefix and the link to the story as well. Thanks.

Account recovery[[edit source]]
Hey! I'll post this to your anonymous account too, so you hopefully see this message. Do you think you could join us on the Discord, so we can more easily verify your identity and help you get back into your account? You can add me at soto.7, or join the Doctor Who Discord to get my attention. (Bongo can also help you out, if I happen to be away.)
The easiest way to verify, given the situation, is just to get you to post a code on your user page on the old Fandom wiki. I'll then have one of our sysadmins generate a temporary password, in this special case, but it would be best not to post this publicly. (Please do make sure to update and verify your email as soon as you get back in.)
How does that sound?

- On second thought, let's follow the troubleshooting order and just make sure: has it possibly landed in your spam folder?
