User talk:Hugsforyou
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.
Hey. Thanks for adding missing credits to the correct actors' and actresses' pages. When writing the actual name of an episode/novel/audio etc, the name should be in italics. For example, it should be The Eleventh Hour and not The Eleventh Hour. Thanks.The Thirteenth Doctor 21:54, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
And also, for the names of TV shows, it should be italics too, so Doctor Who and not Doctor Who. Thanks. The Thirteenth Doctor 10:32, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
No problem! :)[[edit source]]
No worries about the DWA page, feel free. I usually just write it up first then copy it over (along with the comic strip pages), so I left what was there just added to it a bit thats all. I've done it from issue 1 so I just added to follow the same level of content. The 'hidden away' bit I'm never sure just what to include most of it is fairly basic and some weeks I do struggle lol but I just feel it adds to the page to have some random 'fact' included to encourage people to follow a link to something else. I get it by subscription so it arrives early and sometimes wonder if its useful as a preview of the issue or a spoiler (lol) so I might leave it a week or two before uploading it.
Anyway.....never apologise for adding content to the site (certainly not to me!) -and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Its always good to see the pages visited so keep up the good work The Librarian 00:01, September 13, 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!
