'''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

Spoiler policy
Hi! Please do not put spoilers in the edit summary as you did on Series 10 (Doctor Who). Thanks. Shambala108 ☎  00:43, July 9, 2016 (UTC)

Was it a spoiler? Sorry, I thought it counted as a rumour - there is a spoiler warning for the page, which is why I thought sufficed on its own. (It's all unconfirmed and the Mirror's track record for getting things right is very poor anyway.) I'll know for future, thank you for telling me. NPChilla1 ☎  00:50, July 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * For violating Tardis:Spoiler policy a second time, after being warned once, you are blocked for three months (to cover the period up until the airing of the Christmas special). Shambala108 ☎  14:01, October 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * For what, putting the name of the next episode in an edit summary? How does that count as a spoiler, the BBC announced it... Whatever, I don't feel like I'm missing out on this wiki. So long and thanks for all the fish. NPChilla1 ☎  01:26, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * That is absolutely considered a spoiler here. Read through T:SPOIL, and you'll see—until a story has been officially released, any discussion of it is considered a spoiler. Something can be officially announced, but if it hasn't been released yet, you can't bring it up outside of spoiler-specific areas. Edit summaries are public, and visible to all with no spoiler screen. 01:32, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * More than that, you appear to have tried to add said spoiler to a page. You don't go to the page of a story already released, and except to see a spoiler. 01:34, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * You mean "expect"? How you know what every single person who might look of this wiki might think when looking at a page is unclear... NPChilla1 ☎  01:37, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

I think you're misunderstanding the extent of our spoiler policy. We want every user who wants to contribute to be able to do so without fear of being spoiled. In order to do that, we have to forbid spoilers everywhere except designated places (spelled out at Tardis:Spoiler policy) and we have a very strict definition of what makes a spoiler (also spelled out at Tardis:Spoiler policy). If you haven't read the policy, it's understandable that you're confused about BBC releases and edit summaries. I suggest you read the policy thoroughly in order to understand it.

Incidentally, through very diligent editing, we were able to keep the announcement of Peter Capaldi being cast as the Twelfth Doctor off the wiki until his first appearance aired. I know of at least one user who wished to be surprised by the change, and he was able to continue editing on the wiki without being spoiled. Shambala108 ☎  02:03, November 5, 2016 (UTC)
