'''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. Doug86 ☎  19:57, July 8, 2013 (UTC)

Discussion and chit-chat
If we are to discuss the contents of an article, we use the talk page to talk about it. The summaries are not used for chit-chats. The summaries are used for brief descriptions of what you've changed on the pages. --DCLM ☎  16:28, October 4, 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry. I didn't realise there was a talk page for every single article. I will ask there then. By the way, would you prefer I kept replying to your messages here or on your talk page in future? Thanks! Snivystorm ☎  17:12, October 4, 2015 (UTC)

Edit on your user page
Hi! Your recent addition to your user page had to be removed for violating our spoiler policy. Please take some time to read about our spoiler policy here and here. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  14:19, July 13, 2013 (UTC)

Edit summaries
Hi! Please don't mark an edit as "minor" when you've added content. Please see Tardis:Edit summary for details. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  20:50, October 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry about, I wasn't tinkling straight ahah sorry ^^ Snivystorm ☎  21:26, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Page deletion
Hi! Thanks for adding a delete tag to a page that violated Tardis:Spoiler policy. One small thing, if you see something that needs to be deleted, all you have to do is add the tag. Don't remove all content from the page, see Tardis:Deletion policy for details. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎  14:11, April 30, 2017 (UTC)


 * No problem, glad to be of service ^_^ I just figured deleting it all was safest since then no one has anything spoiled at all in the meantime, but I'll do otherwise in the future. Snivystorm ☎  14:57, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

Block
You're blocked for a month for your comments at Talk:Friend from the Future (webcast). If you had insulted any other user besides me, I would have given you a permanent block. Please carefully read Tardis:No personal attacks. Shambala108 ☎  15:51, May 1, 2017 (UTC)


 * I think there's been a misunderstanding here. I didn't mean to offend you; if I did, I wholeheartedly apologise. What I meant by my comment was that the guy I was talking to said there was no discussion and I appear to have misinterpreted your message as that the admins will vote on it, hence I was defending what you wrote, not insulting you. I apologise once more for this misunderstanding. If you want to take this matter to neutral ground rather than here, I'm happy to do that; I just want to understand what my attack actually was so I know to avoid such in future. Also, the Red Cross thing tells me to tell you my Block ID is 6635. Once again, I'm deeply sorry. Snivystorm ☎  16:34, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

I honestly just want to be able to edit and improve articles again on here. I will ever avoid discussing anything with anyone on here again. I just want to help out here, not cause destruction or bring harm to others. Snivystorm ☎  17:50, May 2, 2017 (UTC)

Reverting edits
Hi, I wanted to ask that you cease reverting edits on such pages as TV: Thin Ice. You removed a worthy production error and a continuity point, and in both cases there was nothing wrong with the actual edits. Thanks. OS25 (Talk) 17:48, May 1, 2017 (UTC)


 * I believe I left the valid question just desiring confirmation about our certainty that it was the exact same instruction. If it was wrong of me to want complete validation, then I will refrain from such in future if I'm (hopefully) allowed to return to editing. I apologise. By the way, what was wrong with the ones I put in that you removed? I'm failing to understand the difference between mine and yours, perhaps you could enlighten me? Snivystorm ☎  17:53, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

I haven't removed anything.
 * You did, I put it back. Snivystorm ☎  15:29, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you note
Hi! I wanted to thank you for showing restraint in today's discussions. While it is preferable to achieve a consensus, it is not always possible. Since the page in question is now stable and you chose to cease the argument that wasn't leading anywhere, the matter is essentially resolved. Thus, I commend you for the ability to agree to disagree. It is to everybody's benefit. Amorkuz ☎  19:42, May 14, 2017 (UTC)

Renaming
Hi, sorry for the trouble but I don't suppose you could tell me how to rename the page I set up Corsair's TARDIS to read The Corsair's TARDIS? I want to do it by myself.
 * Hi again Saint2. Only admins are allowed to rename pages. --DCLM ☎  15:26, June 25, 2017 (UTC)

Re: Regeneration energy
Hi, it's more than alright to create the page. It would be great if you do. The problem with the version I deleted was that it provided very specific information that two editors including me did not recognise the source of. And no source has been given. So sourcing was the problem. Thank you in advance if you take care of it. Amorkuz ☎  07:44, July 9, 2017 (UTC)


 * Glad you enjoyed it. And thank you for asking. It is always a good idea. I just wanted to clarify that a deleted page does not automatically require a special permission to be restored. Essentially, if you try to create a page and the reason for its deletion has nothing to do with the reason you want to create, it is probably okay to recreate it. Though asking the deletor can remove any danger of repeating the same mistake. Pages that should not be recreated at all are likely to be protected from creation, meaning that you will not be able to recreate them anyways. Amorkuz ☎  18:49, July 9, 2017 (UTC)

Active vs. Passive
Hi, I've noticed that in the past few days you've been making edits by remove what you think is passive voice from the wiki and replacing it with active voice. You haven't be changing from passive to active you've been changing between different forms of the active voice.


 * My boss is giving many assignments" is in the active voice "Many assignments are being given by my boss is in the passive voice.

"The Doctor says Clara is always acting teacher-y." is in the active voice.

Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 16:38, October 30, 2017 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately not, it's one of the strange quirks of the English language is that there are three versions of the present tense in the active voice.


 * I read
 * I am reading (for continuous actions)
 * I do read (for emphasis)

Which one you use depends on the context of the sentence. Adric♥Nyssa∩Talk? 20:54, October 30, 2017 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for defending the wiki from overly aggressive users. In order to improve our coordination in the future, a couple of points. It is more efficient to notify an admin on their talk page than to continue undoing edits or calling for admin attention in an edit summary. If need be, the edits can be reverted at any time. So, unless the new state of the page makes babies cry in their prams and birds fall from the sky, it is not necessary to return the page to the original state right on the spot. What needs to be done is to suggest a discussion on a talk page and notify an admin. What should be avoided (and was avoided in this case, which I am very happy about) is replying in kind and making too many undo edits. Note that if one user makes 4 edits and the other user undoes them 4 times, then both have engaged in an edit war and both are likely to be blocked. As I said, it did not happen this time, so let it never happen to you. Thanks for keeping a cool head. Amorkuz ☎  23:03, January 1, 2018 (UTC)

Sycorax invasion of Earth
I created that page and am currently in the process of building it. Hence why I put that Inuse thing up. I'll remove it when I'm done. You didn't give me the chance to do more than create the page's outline before you went to work on it.--WarGrowlmon18 ☎  17:11, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

Frankly, I don't know about that policy thing but last time I created a page like this someone told me to put that thing up if I wanted everyone to leave it alone. I think it actually says not to edit for 72 hours while that thing is up. And yeah, I removed your stuff because as I stated, I'm currently writing the page. Hence its not complete yet. Also, there were glaring errors such as the Doctor being taken care of in Rose's "other's flat." I assume you meant "mother's flat." I actually fixed and kept that part but there was other stuff like that. Just leave the page alone for the next few hours while I build it. I'm watching the episode and writing the damn thing at the same time.--WarGrowlmon18 ☎  17:32, January 15, 2018 (UTC)

Deleted image
Hi, how are you? I was just wondering if you could tell me why the image I uploaded for the page "Roscoe (Flatline)" was deleted? Did I do something wrong? LauraBatham ☎  01:10, January 17, 2018 (UTC)
