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:

• How to edit a page
• Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
• Picture tutorial

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. Shambala108 ☎ 22:00, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

Photos

First of all, it's great that you're uploading photos to pages, since a lot of them are sorely lacking in that department. However, site policy is that photos for TV stories must not have a visible BBC logo, nor can they be promotional images. Screen caps are almost always preferred. Memnarc ☎ 22:43, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

To add to what Memnarc said, you also must include a license with every image you upload. This is absolutely required for all images. All but two of your images were deleted for being without a license. Please take some time to read the following image policy pages:

• Tardis:Image use policy
• Tardis:Images and perspective
• Tardis:Guide to images
• Help:Image cheat card

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

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!

Images

Hi :) Thanks for trying to improve our image library. However, a number of your recent uploads have had to be deleted for non-compliance with our local policies. Please review then and our guide to images before submitting any more images.

The main problems with your recent uploads:

• Some were not widescreen. With rare exception, images must always approach widescreen dimensions, and should never be more vertical than 4:3 (the original aspect ratio of '"Doctor Who)
• Some didn't work as thumbnails. Your pictures must always be clear at 180px. Thus, if you take an image from a low-lit scene, it might not be clearly visible at low widths.
• Some were crowded. Images destined for a character page, like Eleventh Doctor, must primarily be about the Eleventh Doctor. Most of your additions to Tenth Doctor and Eleventh Doctor have therefore been deleted from those pages because they're not clearly illustrative of those particular pages. There are times where a two-shot or a three-shot might work — if you're directly illustrating a point made in the body of the page's text — but most of the images on a character's page should be one-shots.
