'''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. -- CzechOut (Talk) 00:38, 2013 February 12

Reference categories
Hiya :) Thanks for joining us! :) I'm not really clear on what you mean by "categories for references in the TV episodes". Could you please elaborate? Oh, and as you're new here, please don't "put a little bit of organisation in" without making your ideas known at Board:The Panopticon or by talking with me directly. Our wiki has one of the most well-developed category trees on Wikia, so you might inadvertently duplicate an existing structure if you move without seeking guidance first.

Though I don't fully understand your categorical idea, please be aware too that categories which focus on a single medium, like television, are usually swiftly deleted, as this goes against our founding principle that all media are to be treated as equally valid. 14:30: Sun 17 Feb 2013

Display issues
Please post your screenshots on my talk page. Thanks :) 04:00: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * I'm gonna respond to your pictures one by one, as I study them.


 * The issue at Carnival of Monsters isn't really a technical problem, per se. Everything is working as it should, but it still results in an apparent error.  This is solved by simply writing a bit more text into any section which appears above the bottom of the infobox. Your picture has been cropped so that you can't see the issue, but basically the first line of text is been "squashed" between the bottom of the infobox and the top of the picture capped "A small problem".


 * Solutions are to move the picture down a paragraph or to add more text above it. Both are really simple fixes, not requiring administrative help.  (The former is typically preferred, as it's really important to draw readers into the article with a nice, juicy lead.)  05:25: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * I have just fixed a tiny error in coding which wasn't causing issues in any of the major desktop browsers. I don't have an iPad, and Safari for iPhone wasn't registering a problem with .  Please take another iPad screenshot of T:TABLES to see if the matter has been resolved.  05:29: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * The third of your issues is obscure to me. You say you don't see what the button under preview says, but in your pic, i can read everything.  Can you please clarify what it is you can't see?   05:31: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * If, however, you're saying that you can't see what happens when you press the area to the immediate right of the word "preview", don't worry. No one can on any platform.  This is indeed due to local CSS, so nominally it's "my fault", but, honestly, it's a useless feature.  what the button is supposed to be saying is "show changes".  But honestly, if you don't know what your own changes are, it might be time for you to take a break from editing. This is on the list of repairs, but it's way down low.   05:36: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * It's actually impossible for you to be still displaying "the exact same issue". Try refreshing the page several tiems to see if things don't get cleared out.  And, yeah, I do need screenshots, because I don't have an iPad, and no other browser I have to hand, including iPhone, is showing what you're showing.   05:57: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * Okay, well, it has changed, but the problem isn't fixed. Any chance of getting a screen shot of the entire Tardis manual box? I'm not seeing anything on this upper half that's to blame for this odd warping.  Something lower down is possibly to blame.  Also, is it behaving exactly same on this page as it is on T:TABLES?  07:06: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * Okay, I'm able to reproduce the error in Xcode simulators of iPad. Probably don't need the screenshots from you.  I have no idea what's causing that, nor why it does not show up in iPhone version of iOS.  I'm gonna have to do some research.  I apologise for this inconvenience, but I can't give an ETA for repairs at this time.  07:20: Tue 19 Feb 2013
 * .....and fixed. Turned out to be a difference in the way that iOS renders the input box.  If you look at the width on a desktop browser versus iOS, you'll see that the search bar at top is wider in iOS than normal browsers.  That's a weird bug. Thanks for pointing it out.   07:55: Tue 19 Feb 2013

So this is what I'm seeing in iOS emulation (and on an iPhone). Can you please confirm that this is basically what you're seeing on your iPad? Thanks. 17:40: Tue 19 Feb 2013


 * I remeber seeing some of these issues on my iPad. I mainly have grown to ignore them, although the page going all flashly can be a nuisance. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 18:25, February 19, 2013 (UTC)
