User talk:Thunderush

'''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

Categories
Hi! I've had to remove some of your recent category edits, and I wanted to let you know why.

Our category system is structured so that we only put the most specific category name on a page. For example, on many of the K9 pages you put the categories Category:Robots and Category:Individual robots. However, the Individual Robots category is a subcategory of the Robot category, so we do not put both on a page. Before putting a category on a page you can go to Special:CategoryTree and type your desired category in the field to see if there is a more specific category already on the page.

A general guideline would be that if a page has been around for a while, it will probably have all the categories it needs, and if you think one is missing you should check the Category Tree first before adding it.

In general, it's also a good idea to click on the category link before you add it so you can take a look at the description (if it has one) and the other pages in the category. This will help determine if the category fits the page you want to put it on. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  04:31, April 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I completely understand; it took me a while to get the hang of categories, and I still mess up sometimes. I've been trying to see if the wiki has a guideline page for categories. If I find it, I can pass it along to you. Shambala108 ☎  04:58, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Distant past
Hi! Please don't put Category:Stories set in the distant past on stories that happen only a few hundred years ago. The category is meant for thousands of years ago, not hundreds. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  02:12, May 5, 2013 (UTC)

Britain's Golden Age
Hi! About the page you created, Britain's Golden Age, I have a few comments.

First of all, nice page. It's a bit surprising it hadn't been created yet.

I had to fix a few things, and I'd like to leave the links to the affected policies here for you to read when you get a chance.
 * Tardis:Neutral point of view - we try to avoid labelling things as "evil", "immoral" etc.
 * Tardis:Use sentence case - deals with capitalization of headings.
 * Tardis:In-universe perspective - we tend not to use the conditional "would" for something that actually did happen.

Also, off-topic, I recall that I had promised I would let you know if there is a good policy page on categories. Czechout recently finished this long project; you can find it at Tardis:Categorisation.

Thanks, and keep up the good work! Shambala108 ☎  18:51, May 7, 2013 (UTC)
