User talk:Mister Fifty

'''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

Thanks for becoming a member of the TARDIS crew! If you have any questions, see the Help pages, add a question to one of the Forums or ask on my talk page. 23skidoo ☎  15:17, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

Infobox
Hi! You have an Infobox Individual on your user page, but those are only allowed for in universe characters. You can put an Infobox User on your user page, as this is the only infobox that is allowed on user pages. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  03:55, May 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * To use the proper infobox, just type on your user page. That will put the proper infobox on your page, then you can fill it out however you like. Shambala108  ☎  02:54, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Images
Hi! I took care of the images on The Dalek Invasion of Earth (TV story), but in the future, if you see images appearing as redlinks, you can remove them yourself if you like. The redlink means the image was deleted. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  01:52, June 10, 2016 (UTC)

Story summaries
Hi! Please don't copy story summaries from other sources like the Doctor Who Reference Guide. This violates Tardis:Plagiarism. We only want original content on this wiki. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  01:02, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

Question
Hi! Re your edit at Confederate States of America, does Blood and Hope (novel) mention Appomattox Court House? Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  01:08, June 18, 2016 (UTC)

Re: CON pages
Hi! What you're seeing on the CON pages (and probably on other pages) is a return to the look we had a couple of years ago. These are templates that belong in certain locations on the page, depending on the template. I'm not entirely sure what is going on, but one of our admins, User:CzechOut, has been working on the appearance of the wiki. For now, while he is doing so, it's best to leave these templates alone. Yes, it looks a little odd, but hopefully it will look better soon. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  04:30, June 21, 2016 (UTC)

Re: dab pages
It looks to me (unless I've miscounted) that you have edited four dab pages. But I checked through your badges and don't see the one for editing one dab page. My guess (and that's all it is) is that you earned two badges at once for that edit, but only got credit for one badge. The next time you edit a dab page, you should be at five, which should be another badge. If that doesn't happen, let me know and I'll do some more checking.

 * So my first idea was wrong, if your profile is saying 0/1, then it's not giving you any credit for it. I passed the problem on to User:CzechOut, who has done a lot of work setting up the game and usually has the answers to game-related questions. Shambala108 ☎  04:44, July 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi there :) As stated in the Game of Rassilon rules, the admin staff reserve the right to suddenly remove editing tracks. That's what happened with the dab track. It was suspended in mid-December 2013.


 * We try, as stated in T:CAT GOR, to label currently-involved categories with .  20:44: Thu 14 Jul 2016
 * The rules were written with a view towards what was possible in the game -- given that we here at Tardis don't fully control it. We have no ability to do much of what you've requested. We can't add points to your account; we can't give you a more complete ranking of players; and we can't give you a list of what categories have been removed.


 * That said, the badges under the heading on your user page, "More Badges You Can Earn!", should generally be accurate. I know that the dab award did appear there when it wasn't strictly speaking available, but it should not now be listed as a badge you can get.


 * Remember, though, the point of the game is to make good quality edits. The people who are top-ranked generally make a ton of edits that aren't actually included in game play. I'd strongly advise you against editing only so as to play the game. That could lead you into making any number of low-quality edits, which would result in your being banned for "gaming the system".


 * I urge you to just try to have fun with it and don't take it super seriously. We have one of the more developed instances of the Achievements feature (that's its true, unthemed, Wikia name), and we offer a ton of ways you can earn points. Just edit according to your interests, try to add genuine value to the pages you're editing, and you'll be fine.  18:38: Mon 18 Jul 2016

Page moves
Hi! Please note that, per Thread:128198, only admins are permitted to move/rename pages on this wiki. Please see the thread I cited for the reasons and for the proper procedure when asking for a page move. Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  15:09, July 20, 2016 (UTC)
