==For which episode?==
{{ArchCat}}
We need to cite a source that says this was meant for Angels Take Manhattan. Chibnall did not write that episode, Moffat did, so one would assume that Moffat would have written P.S. All the online sources I've seen have either been ambiguous or have said this was for the end of Power of Three (making its cut make sense as it would have blown the ending of Angels Take Manhattan).

I'm a bit confused about the paragraph referencing the age discrepancy of Anthony. It seems to imply that [[The Power of Three]] took place before [[Dinosaurs on a Spaceship]] for [[Brian Williams (Dinosaurs on a Spaceship)|Brian]], which obviously isn't correct. {{User:Eladkse/SigReal|19:00,&nbsp;16&nbsp;October&nbsp;2012}}

There is a box at the top of the page suggestions a change from webcast to DVD extra which if implemented whoud be a mistake as this my have started as a DVD extra but it was released as a webcast like how shada started as a tV story but was finished as a homvid [[Special:Contributions/178.100.229.176|178.100.229.176]]<sup>[[User talk:178.100.229.176#top|talk to me]]</sup> 08:59, May 30, 2017 (UTC)
in the continuity section of this article, it states this takes place in 2020 after power of three.  however there is already enough controversy about the dating of power of three as can be seen at the howling thread [[Howling:Dating the Amy era]]. should we keep this statement about the date given the fact there is so much argument about whether it is accurate?  [[User:Imamadmad|Imamadmad]] [[User talk:Imamadmad|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 08:25, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


== Not a valid source ==
: Our current policy is that this special was neither ''finished'' or ''released''. Thus the article should be about the original unfinished product. Also the situation you brought up makes no sense, as ''Shada'' is indeed dabbed by its original intended format -- TV story. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|Talk]]) 12:02, May 30, 2017 (UTC)
It is a long-held belief of this wiki that unfinished works are not [[T:VS|valid sources]].  By Chibnall's Twitter admission, this was a '''cancelled project''', abandoned because of actor availability. What we're seeing are a series of storyboards for an unfinished project, and therefore it doesn't "count" when trying to write in-universe articles.


Yes, it may be referenced in the "behind the scenes" sections of articles, but along with the Eighth Doctor's regeneration in [[Endgame (graphic novel)]], the spider Dalek from ''[[The Dark Dimension (TV story)|The Dark Dimension]]'', the "bit of TARDIS coral" scene from ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', the unfinished televised version of ''[[Shada (TV story)|Shada]]'' and other incomplete bits and pieces that have been made public by the BBC, this one is "officially released but invalid".

Hence, it will continue to fly the {{tlx|notdwu}} banner, and cannot be used as a source for other in-universe articles. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 00:44: Tue 30 Oct 2012</span>

(homevid)". However, the page says it was released as a webcast and has not yet been released on any kind of home video. I don't have a problem with a rename in general, if someone has an idea for it, but I don't think homevid applies here.

It should also be noted that the determination of a story to be invalid does not require the agreement of every single editor. The validity of this story has been debated at least twice. First, in the old forums and, more recently, here. The IP 2.30.191.42 did not participate in either of these discussions. By T:BOUND, whether an editor participated in a discussion or not and whether they have already edited on the site at the time of the discussion, they are still bound by the current policy.
