Spoilers aren't cool With the new series just around the corner, it is worth pointing out that the this page is the only page that spoilers are allowed.

No spoilers should be added to in-universe articles until after an episode airs.

Users who want futher details/clearance on this should read the Spoiler policy.

Reminder about images and licencing With the new series just around the corner, it is worth reminding every User that when they upload a new image they must and I repeat must select a licence tag. This is done by selecting the appropriate licence from the dropdown menu when you go to upload your image.

There have been a number of images upload recently which have not been licensed. If this happens in the future, these images will be deleted even if they are in use.

Remember, it is your job to add the licence to your image, not someone else's.

The variable is plural, and therefore anticipates plural responses. As always, with the new series, a "story" is the same thing as an "episode". So people like Nancy from The Empty Child  still uses, because she's also in The Doctor Dances — but others like  Timothy Lloyd  use  because he's only in The Doctor Dances. Most of the pre-existing instances of have now been changed to. New to editing the wiki? Thanks for helping us out! We're glad you're here. We've recently made it a bit easier to understand how we do things.

You'll also want to peruse a few of our policies about basic editing, such as:
 * why it's important articles have leads
 * why and when you should embolden the page title
 * what kind of sources you can use for your article
 * why writing in the past tense is vital for in-universe articles
 * how to use the wiki markup "language"
