Forum:The Rassilon Archives

Welcome to the forums! We have five main fora for your perusal, each with their own focus.

Tech notes is an area chiefly for announcements more than discussions. While discussions aren't forbidden there, the forum tends to be a place to announce bugs, bug fixes, and other technical oddities which affect the day-to-day running of this wiki.

The Panopticon is a spoiler-free forum for matters of policy and procedure on this wiki. If you have questions as to why articles are named a certain way, or why our various policies are worded as they are, or really about anything having to do with the maintenance of this wiki, go to the Panopticon.

The reference desk is for asking spoiler-free questions relating to the Doctor Who universe or the behind-the-scenes personnel who create it. For instance, if you have a recollection of a character that's so dim that you don't have any idea what to put into the search engine, you might come here and hope that whatever memories you can recollect might help others help you. Or if you had a question about a species in Torchwood, you might ask about here. In other words, this a forum to come to when you're looking for facts about the DWU — often because you're trying to improve an article or articles on the wiki.

The discontinuity index is a spoiler-free zone where you can discuss all the narrative problems — the plot holes, the continuity gaffes and the downright disjunction — between stories.

The timey-wimey detector is the place where we postulate on timelines for various characters in the DWU. Like most other forums, it's spoiler free.

The Howling is a place where the discussions are freer and spoilers are allowed. Go there to speculate, discuss trivia, get into a good ol' natter about your favourite character. Just don't violate our discussion policy.
 * If you don't like spoilers, don't worry: we've enacted some protections to keep this area separate from the rest of the wiki. It's now in a completely different namepace to the three other fora. That means searches won't return results from The Howling if you choose to turn that namespace off.  For instance, if you searched in the above searchbox, nothing from The Howling will get through, because it only'' searches the forum namespace.  Second, we've moved the discontinuity index out of The Howling, meaning that it is now a solidly spoiler-free zone.   Thus, The Howling now has a single purpose, and the "wall" of that unique purpose "insulates" it from the rest of the wiki.
