User talk:ToaMatau2004
ToaMatau2004Thanks 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. Shambala108 ☎ 17:30, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
Delete tags[[edit source]]
Hi! Please note that, per Tardis:Deletion policy, when you put a "delete" tag on a page, you must never delete the content of the page. A delete tag is supposed to start a discussion, but if the page has been blanked, that makes it difficult for there to be any discussion. A delete tag, with a reason given in the tag and/or the discussion page, is all that is required. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 20:44, May 28, 2015 (UTC)
Re:images[[edit source]]
Hi! There were two problems with the sunglasses image. First, it was way too big for what we want on the wiki. And second, screenshots are supposed to be in .jpg, not .png or anything else.
I've collected all of our image policies at Thread:148148, so you can take a look at them there. In particular, you'll want to check Tardis:Image use policy to check the size in both pixels and kb that we want.
Also, I'm going to have to delete the Davros image as well, since it is too large. Unfortunately, I'm not very well versed in uploading images, so if you have any how-to questions, it's probably best to ask another admin, User:SOTO, or there are also a couple of very experienced editors who have uploaded lots of pictures, User:Tybort and User:OttselSpy25, who might be able to help you with any technical questions you might have. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 19:51, September 28, 2015 (UTC)
