Quotes and MOS
the Manual of Style has changed, which was not made well-known so why you may not know. Quotes are to to fitted into the article, not at the top of it, the quote has to to relative to the article, e.g. descriptive. All Television articles had their quotes removed from the top of the page, and we are currently going through all the monster, aliens, villains, characters etc and removing the quote from them. I would ask you to wait till we finished doing this, before putting qoute into the article, under the headings, and must be relevant. Sorry for the inconvenience, and if your still unsure, please see the MOS or ask an admin. See here for details. Mini-mitch 21:21, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Images on articles
Hi, we've updated our Manual of Style concerning the use of images on in-universe articles. In short only screenshots should be used on in-universe articles as promotional images or concept art is often staged and not within an in-universe setting. Thanks. Tangerineduel


 * Your recent addition to the Tenth Doctor article was rolled back as the image did not conform to our Manual of Style relating to image use. Please do not add images that are contrary to our image use for articles policy. --Tangerineduel 13:52, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

That's a very silly regulation.


 * The policy was discussed by the active members of this wiki who are striving to create a unique encyclopaedia made up of the best sources whilst maintaining an in-universe style that is constant across all the articles on this wiki. --Tangerineduel 13:59, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh no no no right but they still do it on the Star wars wikia and it works for them.I actually think the character main images are better against a plain background.
 * You have silly regulations, and this is TARDIS Wikia, not Star Wars Wiki. Here we disaprove of promotional images on articles. The is against our Manual of Style. If you do not understand here are the main two languages in the world apart from English. Duelfight, 18:36, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Vous avez des règlements stupides, et c'est TARDIS Wikia, pas de Star Wars Wiki. Ici, nous disaprove des images promotionnelles sur les articles. L'l'encontre de notre Manual of Style.

Usted tiene reglamentos tonto, y esto es TARDIS Wikia no, Star Wars Wiki. Aquí disaprove de las imágenes promocionales de artículos. El está en contra de nuestro Manual de Estilo.
 * I'm just asking but why do you disaprove of promotional images or images against colour backgrounds? It works really well I think so why don't we use it? Neosforce657 12:31, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Quoted from the discussion on the forums: Never, ever use publicity stills — except as temporary, pre-broadcast placeholders – because they're out-of-universe, and have no place on an in-universe article page Mini-mitch 13:35, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know that but other wikis use them and it works fine for them. So why not here? Neosforce657 12:44, July 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * The choice was made here to not use promotional stills. Some wikis choose to use them, others try to avoid them. This one avoids them wherever possible. -- sulfur 12:53, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes it does try to avoid them but why? They work so well. Neosforce657 13:01, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because we want to have in-universe images, not out-of-universe articles. We decided it was better for this wiki and also we decided it looked better. Is that difficult to understand. That is why we did it. Mini-mitch 14:04, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Basically, we write all articles from the point of view of some sort of entity at the very end of the universe. We only use images of things that actually happened in Doctor Who. That's why promo pics are no use on main article pictures; there's no way a Dalek would pose in front of a green screen for a picture. You see? --The Thirteenth Doctor 13:18, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
