User talk:Mysterious Editor
Mysterious EditorThanks 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. Revanvolatrelundar ☎ 14:20, October 4, 2014 (UTC)
Valid sources[[edit source]]
Hi! It is very important that you read Tardis:Valid sources, as recommended on the page for Series 1 (Class). We do not allow IMDB, Wikipedia, or other user-created sources on our pages. It is your responsibility as an editor on the wiki to make yourself familiar with the rules. It is my responsibility as an admin to make sure you are aware of the rules. It's not my job, or any other admin's, to pick through long edits trying to clean up the mistakes. There are too few admins and way too many editors for that. In addition, I am not at all familiar with Class, so I don't know what the valid sources are. So my safest edit is to undo the entire edit, allowing you to add back anything that is properly sourced. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 19:57, September 3, 2016 (UTC)
I appreciate your concern, however what you have just reverted is me doing entirely what you just have asked (proving you did not look at the changes). I removed the IMDb sources since you said they were unreliable, and stuck with the sources which had already been added. Ed Bazelgette is NOT directing every single episode. The sources I have added (as well as various other articles on the Internet if you Google it and/or look at set reports). There are 4 directors, each with a different number of episodes. I will edit the page again with 100% reliable information (basically just reverting what you have just reverted). Mysterious Editor ☎ 20:00, September 3, 2016 (UTC)
Tardis:Doctors violation[[edit source]]
Hi, this is a warning that your recent edits are in violation of Tardis:Doctors. When an admin reverts your edits, the best course of actions is to ask why rather than revert them back. In addition, there is currently an open discussion of the pronoun use at Thread:237423. It has been kept open until the beginning of Series 11 in case new usage cases appear in-universe. Until this discussion is closed by an admin, the current policy stands. Any further attempt to circumvent the current policy would be a violation of Tardis:Do not disrupt this wiki to prove a point and carry a possibility of a block.

Reply[[edit source]]
Hi, just responding to be polite; you have a message of explanation above. --Borisashton ☎ 22:04, October 9, 2018 (UTC)
Block[[edit source]]
You were informed of the ongoing discussion at Thread:237423 and of the rules of Tardis:Do not disrupt this wiki to prove a point directly above. You were warned that further violations would result in a block. Thus, your opening of another discussion on the same topic shortly after (opening it twice!) could only result in a block. The duration of this block is informed by the attitude you repeatedly exhibited towards the policies of this wiki, which have been explained to you over and over by multiple admin on multiple occasions. This attitude is summarised by the following statements:
- "This policy is ridiculous."
- "It's why this entire wikia is a complete jumbled mess." Special:Diff/2442034
and exemplified by the pattern of reverting admin corrections of your edits. With the clear history of disregarding anyone's opinion but your own and with edit conflicts at almost every page you touch, your cool down period will be 3 months. This wiki is a community effort. You must learn to follow the rules and policies of this community. Amorkuz ☎ 23:57, October 9, 2018 (UTC)
Block for vandalism[[edit source]]
Your last two edits meet the definition of vandalism as laid out in
It is absolutely an act of vandalism to edit or delete someone else's comments on "your" talk page
That you removed warnings by admin documenting your past deeds only exacerbates the situation. Given this history that you attempted to erase, your behaviour warrants another block, which must be longer than the last one. Amorkuz ☎ 17:28, March 27, 2019 (UTC)
- I was unaware of this rule so naturally it was a bit of a shock finding out I'd been blocked for another 6 months. But oh well, I'm back now and will avoid doing anything that will warrant another block - thanks. Mysterious Editor ☎ 17:45, November 30, 2019 (UTC)
