User talk:Raukodraug
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.
Undoing edits[[edit source]]
Had a look at Journey's End and The Stolen Earth, that's fine. If it happens again encourage the user to discuss their disagreement with the Discontinuity on the story's talk page if you think it's unintentional vandalism.
Those pages and much of the new series articles often need trimming and re-summarising down (and removing any supposition in the responses), so if you want to read through them and edit out anything that seems like critisism then that's also fine. But doing and undo back to the original is best first (then saving the page) and then doing the edit so we've got a reference point in the history log. (Sorry, I tend to ramble a little bit in these responses). Hope this is of help. --Tangerineduel 13:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Re: Infobox comic[[edit source]]
Hi, just wondering if you can leave some comments (with the general gist) of what you left on my talk page regarding the comic infobox (or if not do you mind me copying and pasting your comments over there?) Just so others can view your thoughts with regards to this issue. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:15, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- No problem... in fact... just did. --Raukodraug 19:20, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
My First Infobox[[edit source]]
I just created my first infobox template and it seems to have gone well. If anyone would like to let me know what they think of it I would LOVE the feedback.
- Infobox template: Template:Infobox Campground @ Camping Wikia
- Infobox in action: Wakonda State Park @ Camping Wikia

Adding copyright tags[[edit source]]
Check out Tardis:Copyright tags (which contains the rather lengthy list of all the copyright tags). You just need to add whichever one you need to the page. --Tangerineduel 16:24, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
"Editing" for DVD release?[[edit source]]
A few weeks back you added to a number of DVD releases that "Editing" had been done by the Restoration Team. I'm curious why you use that word, since there's no indication of the stories having been edited (ie. content removed). The Team has been active in "restoring" and "remastering" the episodes, which is a different thing. I'm curious if you happen to have a source that indicates that actual "editing" occurred, otherwise I'm probably going to change all these references to "Remastering" which I believe to be the correct term. Also, I don't believe the Doctor Who (1996) DVD release had anything to do with the Restoration Team, since it was released to DVD only 4 years after it had been produced. Again, do you have a source for this? Thanks. 23skidoo 17:07, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
- Editing is a term they use on their website to describe (as I take it) the work of splicing, restoring, remastering, etc. In television production these all fall under the work of an editor, so it makes sense to me.
- As for the TV movie, they worked on, amongst other things, editing out commercial breaks and the conversion from film to video. The full article from their website is at [ http://www.purpleville.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rtwebsite/tvm.htm]. --Raukodraug 19:02, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
K9 screenshot licensing tag[[edit source]]
As you're the main, well currently only, uploader of photos from K9, I thought you might want to know there is a specific licensing tag you should now place on all pics from that show. Just type {{k9-screenshot}} into the box under the the upload field. It' snot currently on the drop-down menu, but you can and should manually enter the template code until we get it put into the dropdown. Thanks! CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 06:24, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
- Should I be in a position to add more K-9 images I'll make sure to use it. Thanks. --Raukodraug 15:16, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
Your input is needed!

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!
