User talk:Sutekh'sGift
Sutekh'sGiftThanks 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. CzechOut ☎ 13:30, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Numbered planets[[edit source]]
I'd greatly appreciate it if you could stay away from articles having to do with numbered planets for a while. I'm conducting some painstakingly boring (but technically necessary) edits that need to be done in an efficient manner, and it's confusing to see the same planets I think I've done come up in the recent wiki activity. Thanks :)

Okay. My bad. Sorry to disrupt it, I was just in the mood to edit and your activity made me want to do some. Apologies again. I'll let you carry on with what sounds like a very tedious thing. :)
Pics[[edit source]]
Heya :) Thanks for trying to upload pics. Please make sure you familiarise yourself with our illustrated guide to images and our chart of image policies. In the meantime, please be sure you understand our most important policies:
- photos and screenshots must be jpgs or pngs — not any other format
- images should be no narrower than 420px
- infobox images must clearly illustrate their subjects at 420px widths
- files must be appropriately licensed
Thanks!

Okay. Yeah should have realized they were bad photos. Sorry for it.
- Just wondering why you're continuing to go against our image upload guidelines, and why you seem to always upload both a .jpg and a .png of the same image, as you did with Grub.png and Grub.jpg? Please re-read the text I posted above and do not upload anything which does not comply with those simple rules. Thanks.

The PNG images are mistakes, with the JPG ones being there to to replace it, in the knowing that you will delete the PNG one. The aspect ratio was a simple mistake on my part. Sorry.
Great Intelligence[[edit source]]
Hey, your recent move of Great Intelligence to "The Great Intelligence" has been reverted. It is completely against policy to make a change while the change is still under discussion, as it is at Talk:Great Intelligence. Please read this policy and this policy to familiarize yourself with it. Shambala108 ☎ 21:02, June 27, 2013 (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!
Fictional locations[[edit source]]
Hi, please read the category description for Category:Fictional locations and then please correct the pages where you have added that category. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎ 02:43, May 7, 2018 (UTC)
