User talk:DENCH-and-PALMER

'''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

NOTVALID appearances
Hey! I deleted the "list of NOTVALID appearances" pages you created. First of all, a change like that should be brought up on Board:The Panopticon first. But also, I think those lists miss the point of the NOTVALID prefix. Does the Master really appear in The Curse of Fatal Death? No, a parody of him does. Does the Second Doctor appear in Devious? No more than in any fanfiction. There's a reason some sources are valid and some aren't, and those lists undermine that. I hope that makes sense.

Oh Ok, I understand, maybe we should have a list of NOT VALID things, so people like myself can see what is NOT VALID in this wiki?

Moving pages
Howdy! Thanks for trying to help by moving pages, but it's important that you please stop immediately. The parenthetical expressions after titles have been worked out after years of discussion and agreement amongst our members. They're also deeply embedded into several templates, and you can't just make up your own phrases like (Home Video). It'll cause quite a bit of chaos at several unexpected points around the wiki.

For the time being, please immediately stop moving pages. This doesn't mean that we don't want your contributions — of course we need you! — but just stop this one thing for the time being. Thanks :)

Oh, and you might find these pages helpful: T:DAB, T:DAB TERM, T:DAB STORY. IF you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch! 03:54: Fri 18 Dec 2015

Thanks for the comments and I will stop, sorry for the inconvenience.

Categories
Hi there. Please can you stop making categories grouping together "colours" or "with the word invasion". They simply don't serve a purpose on the wiki. Categories should be relevant to Doctor Who itself, grouping together themes seen within the show itself. Thanks. --Revan\Talk 21:00, December 22, 2015 (UTC)

Will do, sorry.

Sorry
That's alright, everyone makes mistakes. No one was made upset by this, so there's no need to feel bad. The only reason I gave you the short block just to stop you adding categories as Revan and I were removing them, and it was not a punishment or anything. I hope that this doesn't stop you from editing with us, as we are always glad of more contributors. :)

I didn't see your message from before, but I'll answer it now. We don't have a list of all NOTVALID content, but we do instead have a list of things that are allowed: Tardis:Valid sources/Detailed list. I think it would be difficult to maintain a list of things that aren't valid, because the things that aren't valid greatly outnumbers those which are: trailers, fanfiction, charity anthologies, reference books, parodies, etc.

One last thing: you should always sign your posts on talk pages. Just put four tildes after your message, like so: ~  P&amp;P  talk   contribs  22:52, December 22, 2015 (UTC)
