Tardis:What Tardis Wiki is not

The TARDIS Index File is a collaborative project to create the most definitive, accurate, and accessible encyclopedia and reference database for everything related to Doctor Who. This is a huge mandate. But it's not an infinite one. There are things which this wikia is not:

Not Wikipedia
We are not Wikipedia, nor are we a simple port of Wikipedia's Doctor Who WikiProject. We do take ideas from both Wikipedia and WP:DW, but we stand quite apart. The biggest difference between us and WP:DW, is that we write many of our articles from an in-universe perpective — something that would be strictly forbidden at WP:DW.

Not for fan fiction
We are not a place to post fan fiction, information relating to fan fiction or fan produced titles. As our User page policy states, Doctor Who Fanon Wiki or Doctor Who Expanded may be used for this.

Not a free web host
We aren't your free web host. Users may create a unique user page, but it is not your primary contribution to this wiki. Thus we are not your personal image or video hosting serice. See our user page, user image, and video policies for more information.

Likewise, we are not here to give you somewhere to host your advertisements. Articles considered advertisements include those that are promotions for business, product or articles designed as pieces of public relations to promote an event, individual, company or external blog. Such articles are notable for their sales orientated language, prevalence of external links to a commercial website and are written to promote the product, service or event in favourable manner. Such articles will be summmarily deleted.

Not safe for work
There is a mistaken belief that because we're covering Doctor Who, we are therefore, of necessity, a "safe for work" or "family friendly" site. However, we make no guarantee that the images and articles on this site will be 100% "safe for work". This is because the Doctor Who universe is not a 100% "safe for work" creation. People have sex in the DWU, which has been filmed somewhat graphically on occasion. People curse in the DWU — especially within the Virgin New Adventures series. We absolutely will not sweep this under the rug in the name of "family friendliness".

Indeed by using this site, you are bound by Wikia's Terms of Use, which state: "Further, you understand and acknowledge that by using the Services you may be exposed to content that you may find offensive, indecent or objectionable and that, in this respect, you use the Services at your own risk."

- Wikia's Terms of Use

That said, we will not allow sexual or violent imagery which has nothing to do with the DWU. Not only are we not a free web host, we are definitely not a free web host for porn.

Not a general message board
This wiki provides its community with several forums and discussion areas, including personal user talk areas. However, these areas should be used for discussions specifically relating to the editing and creation of this site. In particular forum and article talk pages should be focused on the title of subject of the talk or forum pages, as is covered in more detailed in our discussion policy. Personal attacks against other users in these discussion areas shall not be tolerated.
