User talk:Masterpwn

'''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. Doug86 ☎  00:14, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

Spelling
Hi! Please note that we use British spelling on this wiki. You can read more at Tardis:Spelling. Also, I strongly suggest you use the "preview" button when you edit. Some of your edits have letters left off words or omitted spaces between words. Previewing your edit before you publish will help get rid of this kind of error. Thanks!

Yes, yes. It's the weird editor, it causes lag when I type, so my typing is about 3 seconds ahead of what appears on the screen, causing errors. I'll be sure to use preview before I publish anything from now on. I have indeed noted that this wiki uses British spelling. My being American will make this a little difficult but I'll try my best, replacing Zs with Ss and such. I'll take a good look at the spelling cheat card. Does one say bucket or pail? Also, I'm having trouble getting video editor to work...Masterpwn ☎  18:19, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

To add a couple of things
It's common wiki practice, when answering someone's post to your talk page, to put your answer on their talk page. Yes, it's a pain, but if you post an answer to me on your talk page, I might not see it for a long time, if ever; if you post your answer on my talk page, I get a notification that someone has posted on my page. What people generally do is have 2 windows open, one window with the original message so they can refer to it, the other window with their answer.

Bucket/pail? I have no idea, but the wiki policy deals with spelling, not word usage. If someone knows the correct British choice, they can change it, but for now, just concentrate more on the spellings. Here's a place where you can find some of the more common British spellings: Tardis:Spelling cheat card.

Since you're having some troubles with the visual editor, I don't know if it will help but you can take a look at the forum thread that has a lot of info: Thread:143084.

Lastly, your question about the video editor: I'm not sure what you mean, but on this wiki only admins can upload videos to the site. If you have a recommendation for a video, you can post it at Tardis talk:Video recommendations. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  21:05, March 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know much about the visual editor (I don't use it), but you can try posting your problem at Board:The Drax Cave. Maybe someone else has the same problem or an idea how to fix it. It's worth a try, because it sounds like a really annoying problem. Shambala108 ☎  02:00, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
 * You can find out how to disable it at Help:VisualEditor Beta Release, under "Notes about the Feature" (you'll have to scroll down a bit). It does a much better job of explaining than I could do. Shambala108 ☎  02:40, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

Story citations
Ok, here is what you would type for a story citation, of course changing the prefix and the story title as needed. As an example:

(TV: The Web of Fear)

This works only in source mode; if you're using the Visual Editor, I actually don't know how, because I only used it a couple of times before giving up on it. If you want to know about Visual Editor, let me know and I'll re-add it to my preferences and play around with it a bit, then get back to you.

Hope this helps! Shambala108 ☎  03:29, March 29, 2014 (UTC)

Hartnell episodes
Hi! Please note that, while all story names are italicized, we use quotation marks for names of individual Hartnell episodes. You can read more at Tardis:Italics. Shambala108 ☎  16:34, April 4, 2014 (UTC)

Image question
Well, it looks like you figured it out yourself. Sorry I couldn't get back to you in time, but if you have any other questions, just ask. Shambala108 ☎  20:05, April 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I did delete the one you requested. As for the other issues, I'm not very experienced with image uploads. I suggest you ask SmallerOnTheOutside (here's his talk page: User talk:SmallerOnTheOutside); I think he knows quite a bit about image uploads and he should be able to help you. Shambala108  ☎  23:55, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Frame issues
That one's pretty easy. It happens when you leave a space at the beginning of a new paragraph. For example, if I type the following sentence with a space in front of it (at the beginning of a paragraph), it looks like this:

Jamie and the Doctor left Victoria behind.

If I type it without a space in front, it looks normal:

Jamie and the Doctor left Victoria behind.

So all you have to do is make sure you have no spaces at the beginning of a paragraph. Shambala108 ☎  14:52, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

The Price of Paradise
I am, for some odd reason, turning this into a widespread project. There will be several new articles concerning things in it about characters, objects, etc. I'm feeling like doing a detailed job. Possibly because I've never done anything like summarizing a book's plot before. Maybe also because I'm hyperactive and overdo things occasionally. Hope nobody minds. *Hangs a "Do Not Disturb" sign on door*
