'''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

Please do not move pages
Hi, unfortunately, I had to undo your edits based on Jack's other name being revealed. I understand where you're coming from and why you thought it was the right thing to do.

I am to tell you, it was not, not yet at least. First of all, on this wiki, only admins should move pages for reasons explained in detail at Thread:128198, entitled Please don't move pages yourself. Ordinary users should use the or  templates instead.

Note that you only updated two links out of many links to Gray and to Franklin and that you could not avoid the redirects.

One of the main reasons why only admins are allowed to move pages is because such moves have to both comply with the policies and to not impede the searchability functionality of the wiki. For this reason, it is a good practice to first discuss such moves. Note that I did not put a "speedy rename", the clear-cut-nothing-to-talk-about version. This is because there are truly things to discuss.

As the most obvious hurdle that would have to be cleared before the rename can go on, let me ask you: how do we know that Jack signed up to the agency under his real name? Or that the agency used his real name in their files? Establishing that requires a closer textual analysis of the audios and other multiple stories than just saying "Gray's last name is Thane because his brother used Thane at some point in his life". We still don't have Thane applied to Jack during his life with his father and brother.

Secondly, it may affect the ability to search the page if its title is based on a name with several spellings possible. "Gray" we know from credits. Thane? Not Thain? Are we sure. Again, research is in order.

At any rate, please do not move pages in the future. Use the one of the rename templates instead. Amorkuz ☎  19:56, June 18, 2017 (UTC)
