User talk:Runcible the Fatuous

'''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

Welcome
Welcome, Runcible. I trust the accommodation's to your satisfaction? ;)

Anyway, DAB here. I noticed the three pages you created today, and just have a few things you might want to learn. Other than those five small things, though, great work so far. I look forward to more in the future. :) --SOTO ☎ 05:44, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) We don't usually allow HTML code in our namespace 0 articles. So   is a no-no. Please just use the enter button to get a new space. If you're writing a list like appearances in an infobox, use . Instructions can be found there.
 * 2) Always, without exception, create articles with categories. Every article should have at least one category by one hour after its creation. If you can't think of anything, don't worry, someone else will likely come by and add one themselves. But our category system's pretty organised here; just type in what you think might be a category, and autosuggest will give you a full name. For people, the easier form of categorisation is singling them out by time period (ex. category:20th century individuals) or by profession (ex. category:human chemists)
 * 3) When linking to the Master, always try to specify which incarnation. We use templates when linking to him, usually the last name of the actor who portrays that incarnation. With Beevers it's slightly more complicated, but he plays the Delgado version, so  will give you .  to get "".
 * 4) You won't come across this often, but I'll mention it anyway. 59A, Barnsfield Crescent shouldn't have a comma. This format was essentially decided here, and has been consistently followed.
 * 5) This makes no actual difference, but there's no real need to use pipe tricks in the  infobox variable; it gets automatically truncated.
