Is there a reason that for all the multi-part [[DWBIT comic stories|''DWBIT'' comic stories]], that many parts share the exact same image? (Example: ''[[Beneath the Skin (comic story)|Beneath the Skin]]'', ''[[The Sky Below (comic story)|The Sky Below]]'', ''[[Beyond the Sea (comic story)|Beyond the Sea]]'', ''[[Lonely Planet (comic story)|Lonely Planet]]''). This continues throughout the magazine's run. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 16:07, March 11, 2012 (UTC) | Is there a reason that for all the multi-part [[DWBIT comic stories|''DWBIT'' comic stories]], that many parts share the exact same image?

:A ''policy'' reason? Not as such, no. The ''practical'' reason was probably because the editor who did that — most likely [[user:The Librarian|The Librarian]] — wanted to indicate that the named "episodes" were all the same story. These BIT images have evolved over the years. At first they ''all'' had the same pic. | |||
:It's sort of a tricky situation to deal with, though. I'm not entirely sure we ever agreed, as a community, that these BIT "episodes" would be on different pages. I don't know whether they're best thought of as Hartnell serials (in which case we'd put 'em all on one page) or as BBC Wales multi-parters (in which case, we wouldn't). It might be just as well to collapse them all on a page titled with the first part (and keep redirects from the other episodic titles). The BIT stuff is really quite anamolous, so it might be worth talking about a bit. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">20:42: Wed 02 May 2012 </span> | |||

- A policy reason? Not as such, no. The practical reason was probably because the editor who did that — most likely The Librarian — wanted to indicate that the named "episodes" were all the same story. These BIT images have evolved over the years. At first they all had the same pic.
- It's sort of a tricky situation to deal with, though. I'm not entirely sure we ever agreed, as a community, that these BIT "episodes" would be on different pages. I don't know whether they're best thought of as Hartnell serials (in which case we'd put 'em all on one page) or as BBC Wales multi-parters (in which case, we wouldn't). It might be just as well to collapse them all on a page titled with the first part (and keep redirects from the other episodic titles). The BIT stuff is really quite anamolous, so it might be worth talking about a bit.
