Forum:The Cloisters

Welcome to the Forums! These are... the Cloisters.
You have entered theforums for Tardis Wiki, theDoctor Who Wiki. This, here, is theindex for those forums, in their entirety, including past iterations. We call this place...the Cloisters.
TheCloisters onGallifrey — whichnow lie at theend of the universe — open tothe Matrix, a repository of knowledge from allTime Lords and theirTARDISes, wielding theEye of Harmony.
Nothing so grand here. And thoughwe do writeas though from the end of the universe, the fact is that policies and use cases areconstantly in flux. These forums are where we work all that out... andeveryone is invited to participate in the writing of policy, along with us, as we move with the times once more.
Keep in mind ourTardis:Discussion policy andTardis:No personal attacks when engaging in discussions here.
The Index
This page is still a work in progress. But click below to get to the five currently active Forum Boards, as well astheir archive:
The Panopticon

Anything which can't go on a single talk page, and doesn't belong in one of the other Forum spaces — below — probably needs to be started here. (But don't worry, if you're confused,there's a place for that, too!)
