How to edit a page
To edit a page, simply click the edit button at the top of page. This is located next to the page title. If you want to edit a specific section, click edit at the corresponding heading.

A few things to note:
 * Everything must be written in UK-English. Anything written in American-English will be changed. Please do not write in American-English.
 * All articles must be written in past tense. (i.e did, wanted, had, failed etc). The only pages that have are an exception to this rule are: Series page (i.e Series 6 (Doctor Who)) and sections of an actors page that detail an upcoming episode they will appear in.

How to modify text
Text can be modified in three different ways: It can be in italics, it can be in bold and it can be put into bold and italics at the same time.

How do you do these? It quite simply. to put a word or words in italics you format it like this: italics, which would format the word to appear like this: italics. Two ''on either side of the word or words with put it/them into italics.

To put something in bold it's similar to italics, put instaed of two '', it's three. So, bold would appear as bold.

Putting something in bold and italics in combining the two. You uses five 'on each side of the text you want to format. So. bold and italics would appear as bold and italics

Indenting
To indent text, simply place a colon : before the text. It is recommended that you also italicise your text.
 * Indented text will appear like this.

Linking
To add a link to a page that is already on this wiki, simply place two square brackets of either side of the word(s). (i.e. Amy Pond would appear as Amy Pond.) If you link to a page that is already on this wiki, the text will appear blue. If you link to a page that has not yet been created, the link will be red. (i.e Red link test)

Headings
Headings are used to separate different points in an article. There are a few different types of heading. Heading 2 is used to separate the key sections of an article (i.e biography, personality, Behind the scenes, cast, etc)

Heading 3 to 7 are used to section of each main point under a section two heading.

To make a heading, simply place the amount of equals signs = to the number of heading you want. (i.e ==Heading two==, ====Heading four=== and so on).

Never use a level on header. It's against wiki formatting. Please don't you this.

To see the different types of heading in place see this page, which uses all of them.

Please remember, that although headings appear in capitals, you must enter them in sentence case. This is so it does not muck up the formatting of the contents list.

Bullet points
A list is normally used in the 'Behind the scenes' section or in the 'other information' section. To start a bullet pointed list, all you need to do is start on a new line and press the *key. Then under that do the same thing and continue to do this until you have completed you desired list. i.e
 * Bullet point one
 * Bullet point two

Numbers
For a numbered list, which is normally only used in a forum discussion or for a vote on the featured article and quote of the week, you do what you would do with a normal bullet pointed list, but instead of you the * you use #. i.e
 * 1) number one
 * 2) number two

What not to do

 * Do not add speculation to articles. (i.e It is thought, we are left to presume etc).
 * Do not enter gobbledygook into articles. This will be seen as vandalism and will be removed.
 * Do not link headings. The only time this should be used is within the Reference sections on in-universe articles.
 * Never underline text.
