'''Welcome to the 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

Last Great Time Lord Victorious
Hi Editoronthewiki, just wanted to say that you've done some real impressive work with Last Great Time War and other pages! Just wanted to send you a message saying that the Dalek storyline in Time Lord Victorious isn't an alternate timeline of Dalek history, and is in fact set before the Time War rather than instead of it. This is evidenced through the fact that the Daleks are aware of the changes in history and think of them as changes to history, positioning them as being in a similar position to the Eighth and Ninth Doctors. In fact, per the Dalek storyline, some of the final releases of TLV should probably be added to the Last Great Time War page in the Pre-War section. CoT    ?  16:47, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Restoration Empire placement
That is more an issue with the standard page formatting of this Wiki, really. "Alternate timelines" are, at any rate, distinct from parallel universes, and are very much a part of the universe. If TLV wraps up with the time alterations "sticking", then yes, I think we should assume that the Restoration Empire is an alteration to Dalek history that sticks, and rejoins the standard timeline by way of the Restoration Daleks going into the Time War just as they were originally supposed to. But that doesn't mean they're not an "alternate timeline" — it's a little like, say, how the events of Last of the Time Lords do belong on the main biography section of The Master or Lucy Saxon even though they're unquestionably an alteration to Time.

I say wait and see if the "moving into the LGTW" thing is the last word from TLV. If it is, I would agree with putting "Kotturuh crisis timeline" back in the normal History section of Dalek, with the caveat that it contradicts pre-TLV accounts of Dalek history due to being the result of alterations to Time.
