Can someone with admin access fix the accented chars in the list of international wikis? They presumably got broken during the time entities were fubar'd. Should be Català, Français, Portugês. --[[user:Brion VIBBER|Brion Vibber]] |

:Fixed. Home Page is unprotected, BTW. --[[user:Magnus Manske|Magnus Manske]] |

::Really? Guess I figured that had already been fixed... In retrospect, I must have read the bit at the end about it being protected as an actual message from the software. Someone should probably make it true again. Anyway, thanks! --[[user:Brion VIBBER|BV]] |

Mmm i had few subpages which really does not belong to any arrticle (like: more about me or |

[[Parapsychology]] should be removed from the main page. It is far too controversial and too exotic to make sense in the first level of a directory. Let's use the space for something more important. |

I have linked [[parapsychology]] from [[psychology]] and [[pseudoscience]], and soon [[protoscience]], to ensure that it is well-linked prior to removal from the front page. |

The Daleks are a race of cyborgs from the British television series Doctor Who. They are the mutated remains of the Kaled people of the planet Skaro, who travel around in robotic bodies which bear a suspicious resemblance to overgrown pepper shakers. Their catchphrase was "EXTERMINATE!"
The Daleks were first introduced in December 1963 in an episode of Doctor Who called variously, "The Daleks", "The Dead Planet" or "The Mutants". They immediately became a hit, and were featured in many subsequent episodes. Two movies spun off from Doctor Who featured them as the main villians, including "Doctor Who and the Daleks", and "Dalek Invasion of Earth". In addition to this, their popularity has extended to books and stage shows.
Over the twenty-six seasons of the series, the Daleks underwent a number of revisions and elaborations. In the definitive episode "Genesis of the Daleks," aired in 1975, the creator of the Daleks was revealed to be the Kaled chief scientist Davros. Although Davros appeared to have been killed by his own creations at the end of the episode, he survived their attack in suspended animation and was later recovered from the ruins of Skaro by the Daleks seeking his help to enhance their design. Davros' continuing influence eventually led to a schism among the Daleks, with one faction following Davros' leadership (the "Renegade" Daleks) and another faction rejecting their creator to instead follow the Supreme Dalek (the "Imperial" Daleks).
Davros made his last appearance in the Doctor Who TV serial "Remembrance of the Daleks" simply as a head.
They were created by Doctor Who author Terry Nation.
