Thanks for your help

Making a big change to Wikia's layout is hard work. And because we're a community, we like to take the advice of big sites like Tardis. So thank you for all the feedback you gave during the recent test period of an article prototype.

Because of your voluminous feedback, Wikia were able to make a lot of positive discoveries. Your feedback will help ultimately help us break through to the next phase of the project. Everyone here at Tardis was super awesome during the test period!

We're now going back to our previous skin until called upon again to help with more beta testing!

Doctor Who is a "family franchise", which means there's something in it for all ages.
It does not mean that all content is appropriate for all ages.

Listen to the Doctor and friends!
Landbound audio cover

Short Trips are short audio plays read by various Doctor Who actors. Each story features either one of the Doctors, from the First to the Eighth, or, occasionally, features a prominent character such as the Master or the Meta-Crisis Tenth Doctor.



Stripped for Action!
Frobisher Morphs

Where Nobody Knows Your Name — intentionally titled after the Cheers theme song — was an Eighth Doctor comic story set in a bar. More character study than adventure, it stressed the complexities of friendships between long-lived shape-shifters like the Doctor and his former companion, Frobisher.


Article of the minute

Inter-Galactic Cat
Inter-Galactic Cat was a short story in the 1982 Doctor Who Annual which was part of the group of stories to feature the Fourth Doctor, Adric and what was presumably K9 Mark III. It told the story of Genesis III, a supercomputer trying to take over the world. It also featured an instance of miniaturisation, as had been explored in The Invisible Enemy and Planet of Giants.

Popular categories

If you're new to wikis, it might be helpful for you to take note of the concept of categories. Categories are the principal organizing tool on a wiki, allowing users to group information in ways that can ease the discovery of information. All the pages on our wiki are found, ultimately, in just four big "super categories". If this is your first visit here, please go to Floor 500 for a discussion of the way our wiki is organized.

Real world
On our wiki, the world we actually live in is called the "real world" . As such, information about the production of Doctor Who and her sister shows are in this category. This includes pages about the actual televised episodes themselves, the behind-the-scenes personnel, terminology used by the production teams, and merchandise related to the shows.
Time-Space Visualiser
The Time-Space Visualiser is the place where most of this wiki's pages reside. All the articles are written from an in-universe perspective, quite different to what you might be used to on Wikipedia. Here you'll find information related to The Doctor, his companions, Other individuals, astronomical objects, time travel, species, locations, science, culture, and a whole host of other subjects.
Non-DWU material
Notwithstanding writer Paul Cornell's famous comments that denounced the concept of "canon" in Doctor Who, our canon policy does deem a few things to be outside the Doctor Who universe. For examples, visit: stories, characters, technology, species, and locations.
The Hub
This category contains articles having to do with the actual running of the wiki. It's full of all those little pages that help the wiki work. As such, it isn't accessed often by most users. However, more advanced editors might wish to peruse the templates category for ways to make their editing easier. Or if you're looking for a place to start editing on the wiki, you might want to look at articles that need updating, major expansion, general copy-editing, sectional cleanup, and re-writing from an in-universe perspective.
