User talk:Wikig1rl1
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:
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. Doug86 ☎ 15:47, November 21, 2013 (UTC)
Images removed[[edit source]]
Hi! You may have noticed that all the edits you made today changing page images have been reverted by several editors. We have several very specific rules about how to use images, and instead of trying to list them here, since I would probably forget some, I'm leaving you with the policy pages in question. I strongly suggest you read through these policies before making any more image edits.
In addition, many infobox images have been decided on only after long discussion, and are not to be changed without further discussion at an article's talk page. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 18:17, November 21, 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!
Image[[edit source]]
Hi! I had to delete an image you uploaded because it violated one or more of our image policies. Please see Thread:148148 for more information on our image policies. If you look at the delete summary, you might see that the reason I put was that it violated our "video" policy. That was an error on my part; the image was deleted for violating "image" policies, not "video". Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 23:23, January 2, 2014 (UTC)
Nicnames[[edit source]]
Hi! Please stop adding nicknames to the Amy Pond and Rory Williams infoboxes. Nicknames are not aliases. The names you added have been removed every time they are added. They are not allowed in the infobox. If you think they're important, they can go in the body of the article, but absolutely not in the infobox. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎ 14:54, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
