User talk:Quest?on

'''Welcome to the Quest?on

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

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this: ~ ~ ~ ~

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. -- Doug86 (Talk) 23:56, September 20, 2012

Name
After almost 125 responses (!), the discussion over the wiki's imminent name change appears to be nearing conclusion. You have 24 hours to register your objections at Thread:117468. If you don't, the name will change to Tardis Data Core tomorrow. 23:06: Tue 08 Jan 2013

Game of Rassilon
Editing tracks are not enabled indefinitely. There's no guarantee that just because you see a badge on a person's user page that you will necessarily be able to earn it. We reserve the right to turn on and off editing tracks as needed to encourage development of certain pages. The days of the year track will probably reopen soon, but I can't give you an ETA at this time. 04:12: Thu 18 Apr 2013

MOTLO
Hey :) Thanks for your great work filling in details from The Last Dodo! Just wanted to inform you that I've moved the category from MOTLO to ''Museum of the Last Ones, simply because people who haven't read that book — i.e. 99% of our users — will have zero idea what "MOTLO" means.  By spelling out the category name, we're making things more transparent for our readers.

Also, categories need to avoid recursion where possible, so we don't generally put categories about people within categories about things. So Category:Earthers is now within Category:Individuals by profession, since Earther is a job title.

I'm a little confused why Eve (The Last Dodo) isn't in the Earthers category. Is she explicitly not an Earther? Also, would it be inappropriate, in your view, to put Earthers within Curators, or is there some significant distinction between Earthers and curators that I'm missing? Thanks again of your hard work! :) 22:47: Tue 25 Jun 2013

Just a friendly reminder
It's grammatically correct to put a space between a colon and the subsequent word. Please start doing so in your edits. Thank you. Doug86 ☎  00:49, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

Recursion
Hey. Just thought I'd let you know about T:RECURSION. Pretty much, if a page is in Category:RAF pilots, don't put it within Category:Human pilots or Category:Human military officers, because it slows down the bot. Now I know that you didn't add Human pilots to those pages, but, when you add categories, always try to make sure that the pages are not in the broader categories. RAF pilots are by nature pilots and air force officers, but you go with the most specific category.

Sorry if I'm a bit on top of you. Just thought I'd let you know. :) --SOTO ☎ 02:11, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

A Million Thank Yous
Really. :)

I was doing a bunch of things at once, came back to communications technology from the real world, and my work was already done. :P

(Actually this was a little while ago and I've been so busy I only now found the time to write out my thank you. Lol.) You even realised to add category:Audio and video storage from the real world! So thanks, really. I'm glad somebody else cares. I will remember this! :) 03:25, December 20, 2015 (UTC)
