User talk:Cyruptsaram

'''Welcome to the Cyruptsaram Thanks for your edits at 2099! 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

Hi there. Please remember to add categories to articles you create because articles that are not categories fall off the search index and can be candidates for deletion. Also please note that when writing "the Doctor" during a sentence, the "The" should not be capitalised. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 07:48, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Categories
When adding categories please be aware that you add categories that actually exist. I have spent most of the morning going through your articles removing the "character" category and adding ones such as "individual humans" among others. Please observe the changes that I have made to your edits to better understand the working of the wikia. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 13:52, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

We have categories covering this already such as the Prose writers or Audio writers categories. When adding the categories to a page from the published page, a drop-down box comes up giving you all the categories we have, and refines itself as you type a category. Hope that helps. --Revan\Talk 14:03, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

No problem. I've enjoyed reading your edits so far, you evidently have a wide knowledge of the DWU and do the wikia a great service by adding new articles from stories that we currently don't have much information on. Let me know if there's anything I can help with at a later time. Until then, enjoy editing here! --Revan\Talk 14:14, July 13, 2012 (UTC)

Also, when tagging categories, don't use the "Individuals" category unless a page cannot be categorised as anything else. It's a category of last resort, you might say. Memnarc talk to me 08:23, July 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Among other things, yes. When tagging individuals, it's a good idea if you look to see if what time period they come from is identified in the story (or stories) they appear in. You also want to look for identifying characteristics, like their species or their profession. Finally, for easy tagging, start typing in the little tag area at the bottom of each page until a menu pops up. That should give you some idea if the category you want to give the page exists or not. Don't start creating new tags until you're better versed at categorising. Memnarc talk to me 08:57, July 15, 2012 (UTC)

Hi! You're doing a great job of adding information to the wiki that wasn't here before. However, before you go much farther, you might want to take a look at the Manual of Style. It's a list of style rules that this wiki follows. It will help you in further editing, and your edits won't need to be corrected so much. Thanks! Shambala108 talk to me 17:18, July 14, 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to second this advice. When editing, try to keep the tone more formal, rather than conversational. Memnarc talk to me 06:34, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
