'''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

I here you but please stand down
While I understand the motivation behind your edits to Thea Cochrane and the inacceptability of using deadnames in your community, these concerns do not automatically override the interests of this community of Doctor Who fans. Especially not when it is, in effect, the will of one person against the needs of a diverse community of cis and trans fans. The best way to approach a sensitive topic like this is not by each side acting out their desires but by communication. Fortunately for this here wiki, the trans community is represented not just by fans, but also by an admin, SOTO. They are more than capable to make sure that Thea and all other cast and crew are not unduly misnamed or misgendered, but also not denied credit for their work. SOTO has already weighed in specifically on Thea's case, in favour of the current page formulation. However, this need not be the last word. I can assure you that your voice has been heard. What I ask you to do is to let SOTO handle it from here, so that there is no more confrontation and both communities benefit from the eventual compromise. Amorkuz ☎  23:31, February 13, 2019 (UTC)
 * To be clear, I'm still trying to figure out the best way around this. I would never reveal the deadname of anyone I know, so I'm trying to find a good balance where we're still doing our due diligence as editors without showing deep respect to these people. I really wish Big Finish would just update the credits on their site, so there could be almost no possible confusion. I honestly don't mind if the deadnames are just removed until we find the best way about this. Please don't feel that your efforts are being ignored. 00:08, February 14, 2019 (UTC)
