Tardis:About

TARDIS Index File is a free Doctor Who reference website that is being written collaboratively by the readers. Our goal is to become the largest, most reliable, and most up-to-date encyclopedia about everything related to the Doctor Who universe.

TARDIS Index File is a WikiWiki, meaning that any fan may edit any article by clicking on the edit this page link that appears in every wiki article that is not designated as a protected page. This makes it very easy for any fan to share their knowledge and insight of the Doctor Who universe and add to the collected information available.

The project was started in February 2005, by James P. Moore. It was inspired by Wikipedia, a free, open source encyclopedia, and especially by Memory Alpha, a wiki reference site devoted to the Star Trek universe. The name was derived from the TARDIS Index File used by Tegan and Nyssa in the Doctor Who serial, " Castrovalva." There are many articles that may be worked on by Doctor Who fans to help our database grow.
