Doctor Who Wiki

Welcome aboard! This is the TARDIS Index File website, - or will be if this regeneration works out.

The database is formatted in a Wiki structure which visitors can edit. Currently, the database contains 512 entries which may be viewed, edited, and expanded, with  many more entries which members and visitors may start contributing to the project.

Featured Article
From the TARDIS Index File, the free Doctor Who reference.

The Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, who wanders through time and space in his ship, the TARDIS. For the most part, and usually because the vessel's navigation system is old and unreliable, he explores the universe at random and uses his extensive knowledge of science and advanced technology to heroically avert the crises that he encounters. The Doctor has, at various times, been accompanied by companions who have chosen to travel with him for a variety of reasons.

The Doctor is considered a renegade by his fellow Time Lords, for his penchant of getting "involved" with the affairs of other worlds, in direct violation of official Time Lord policy. However, most of the time his actions are tolerated, especially when he has saved not just Gallifrey, but the universe, several times over. His standing in Time Lord society has waxed and waned over the years, from being a hunted man to even being appointed Lord President of the High Council (an office he did not assume for very long and eventually was removed from in his absence). In the end, though, he has always seemed quite content to remain a renegade and an exile.
