click to dismiss this message Please don't spoil things Sure, you may love spoilers, but not everyone does. A lot of our editors are toiling away on everything but the Matt Smith era, so they don't expect to come across spoilers for the latest episodes. Please help us keep the surprises for everyone. In general, we don't allow any information—either about the story or the people making the story—unless they've been broadcast in their entirety.

Please take careful note of this absolute fact: if you spoll anything about any 50th anniversary special, you will go immediately to what Joss Whedon once called "a very special kind of hell". Or at the very least you will never be allowed to edit here again. So, before you think about posting information about who's been cast in the upcoming anniversary story, or details about the plot, know that if you do, it will be the last thing you do on this wiki.

Also, note that you can't spoil the current series, either. The usual penalties apply. Publish anything about an episode of series 7b until its BBC One transmission has completed, and you'll earn at least a block until the whole series has transmitted.

And with that very happy little thought, please enjoy your visit! :)  Check your message indicator often In the extreme upper right corner of the page, you'll see a little icon of two speech bubbles.  Sometimes, you'll see a red number there, too.  If you do, that means there's a new announcement or forum thread that we think is particularly important.  Click on the icon, and you'll get a drop down menu that will spirit you away to the newest messages.
