Hello, Doctor Who Fanon Wiki! As some of you may have seen, the wiki is now embracing a new category paradigm. Before now, navigation on this wiki has been a nightmare--everyone's been doing their best to keep things organized, but everyone has a different idea of how to do so!

From now on, things will be a lot simpler. We will be dispensing with all non-approved categories, removing them from all articles before deleting them. Categories will now follow a common standard:


 * Articles will be given identifying categories--"Individuals", "Planets", "Races and Species", "Series", "Stories". ( Note: "Series" refers to fictional shows that are divided into episodes, while "Stories" refers to stand-alone fanfiction )


 * Once an article has been identified, use any of the Real World Reference categories that are applicable ("Stories featuring Daleks", "Stories featuring the Eleventh Doctor", etc.) This will make it easier for readers to find stories that interest them, and thus gives your stories a higher chance of being read!


 * User categories, which are automatically added with the inclusion of the Author template, are a good way to browse through your favorite writers' fanfiction and should be the first categories on a page.


 * Please note that the category system is still regenerating, and so updates may occur. For now, please add all applicable categories to your own works, and feel free to make suggestions!
