Tardis:Bad uses for user pages

You can do pretty much whatever you want with your user page — that is — or any of its subpages. But there are definitely some things you cannot have there.


 * Anything which violates Wikia's Terms of Use
 * Expressions of social or racial hatred.
 * Personal attacks of any kind made against fellow users
 * Pictures in violation of our user image policy
 * Videos, other than the ones that already exist in our video library. (Users are not allowed to upload videos.)
 * Advertisements
 * Things that go beyond sharing biographical facts about you, but which have nothing to do with the DWU or the improvement of this wiki. In other words, we're not a free host or webpage provider. This isn't the place to collaboratively work on homework with friends, or to make an album about your recent trip to Santiago. You can, however, create a wiki of your own at Wikia to use however you wish!
 * Fan fiction or roleplaying. We strongly encourage you to visit our friends at Doctor Who Fanon or Doctor Who Expanded if you want to create new fiction.  Tardis is an encyclopaedia of licensed fiction.

Things to think about
There are also some things that won't get you banned if you put them on your user page, but which may be inadvisable.


 * Truly personal information, like national identification numbers, birthdays, real life names.
 * Artwork to which you own the copyright; the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license under which this wiki operates will naturally cut into your potential profits from that work
 * Galleries encourage the use of many images, but this can slow page load times considerably.
 * The wrong categories. User pages and subpages can only be in category:users, or one of its subcategories.

Penalties for violation
When you make your first edit with us, your user page is automatically created with a link to this series of policy pages. You are therefore deemed to have been adequately notified of the kinds of things that you're prohibited from putting on your user pages. Consequently, admin are under no obligation to give you further warning before blocking you from further editing, and it is entirely up to the discretion of the blocking administrator how long your ban will last. Nevertheless, we will take into account the context of your violations, and will often consult other admin before imposing the final ban.

Nevertheless, expect that if you attack others, introduce hate speech or upload videos, that your punishment will probably be an instant ban of indefinite length.
