Please make a change to your personal CSS The administrative staff strongly encourages you to make an easy, five-second fix to your personal settings. Please go to Forum:ALL EDITORS: please install this in your personal settings for more information. It'll seriously take you just an instant, and it'll be time well spent. Torchwood now at Torchwood (TV series) When linking to the Torchwood television series, please use Torchwood (TV series). The name Torchwood is now reserved for use with the in-universe concept, as our disambiguation policy makes clear. You may wish to participate in a discussion about how best to proceed with the term "Torchwood". Unlicensed images subject to immediate deletion Please note that it has long been a policy that images must be licensed. That is they must have one of our copyright templates affixed, which gives readers the copyright status of the image. Because of a recent explosion of unlicensed images, we're now going to be taking a very hard line on this. Your image will be deleted, without warning, and by automatic process, if it doesn't have a copyright template. Please note that this process is automated by a bot which has no ability to assess whether your image is "good" or "appropriate". It deletes solely on the basis of whether there's a license present.

You are encouraged to only upload pictures using Special:Upload or Special:MultipleUpload. These special pages are linked to your tool bar at the bottom of every page. They're also in the right-hand column of most every page except for the editor page.

'Please do not'' use the "add features and media" buttons in the new editor to add images to this wiki. These buttons bypass the licensing drop-down menu, and therefore give you no opportunity to add a license. Wikia's new editor is online You will have noticed that when you click "edit" now, everything looks a little different. That's because Wikia have rolled out their new edit page, across the whole of wikia.com. It is not something turned on by the local administrative staff here at tardis.wikia.com. Individual users cannot opt out of it, despite the implication of some checkboxes in Special:Preferences. It is simply the way editing looks now. More information about the new edit page can be had by clicking the info link at the top right of the edit page.

Note that the new edit page is java-intensive. Those with older computers/browsers may need to switch to the MonoBook skin in their preferences if they want a less resource-heavy editing environment. (Note that moving to MonoBook will make certain features, like Achivements, inaccessible — but it is a much quicker environment.) Achievements are here! To celebrate the re-launch of Doctor Who we're unleashing a fun new game. If you edit elsewhere on Wikia, you'll know this game as "Achievements". It gives you rewards for editing particular aspects of the wiki. We're taking the time, however, to really customise the game. You'll eventually find hundreds of different badges you can earn, all of them with a Doctor Who theme. So, check your user page and see what you can win!

''Please note that it will take up to a couple of days to completely load in the customised game. You may find that pictures and titles will change rapidly in the next several hours. Part of the fun of being here from the start is that you get to see the game being built!''

Review the archive of recent changes to the wiki here. Refresh your cache often The wiki continues to undergo a complete facelift. As the new style sheet is being implemented, you may see some untidy signs of construction. Thanks for your patience as we remodel. If you want to see the latest changes, you'll probably have to bypass your browser's cache. Safari users merely need to reload pages. Firefox users just have to hold down SHIFT, then press the reload button. Chrome users can press Ctrl + F5. Those using other browsers should check their help files for specific instructions.

Alternately, you can now just pull down the "edit" menu to refresh, and that should perform an automatic purge for you.
