User talk:Watchermark

'''Welcome to the Watchermark 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

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 (Talk) 22:26, October 21, 2011 07:43: Wed 21 Dec 2011

Hi, I had to delete the category you created called "Category:Characters whose status as companions is questionable" and I wanted to let you know why.

This category violates Tardis:Category naming conventions, specifically the first paragraph on the page:
 * "Like article names, category names should follow certain patterns. Unless categorisation is performed to a common standard, it will be much harder to navigate and maintain the Data Core. Above all else, category names must not be open to multiple interpretation, and must be free of any bias or value judgements." (emphasis mine)

The thing is, companion status is a very contested question in Doctor Who fandom. And on this wiki, we try to avoid situations that could lead to edit wars. So that's why I had to delete the category.

Thanks for your attention, Shambala108 ☎  00:03, September 9, 2017 (UTC)
