So, I created this page in what I thought was the vein of [[BFP 1908]] and [[BFP 1909]]. The problem is, I've since worked out that BFP 1908 is not the 1908th podcast, it's the 8th podcast of 2019. The numbers 1908 and 1909 come from the podcast listing on the Big Finish website, but obviously BFP 1 doesn't have such a listing. If we were to go with the format used on the website, this podcast should instead be renamed to '''BFP 0801''', and I think consistency with these things is important. Alternatively we could work out what the real numbers of BFP 1908 and 1909 are and rename them to that. Does anybody have any thoughts on the matter?

So, I created this page in what I thought was the vein of BFP 1908 and BFP 1909. The problem is, I've since worked out that BFP 1908 is not the 1908th podcast, it's the 8th podcast of 2019. The numbers 1908 and 1909 come from the podcast listing on the Big Finish website, but obviously BFP 1 doesn't have such a listing. If we were to go with the format used on the website, this podcast should instead be renamed to BFP 0801, and I think consistency with these things is important. Alternatively we could work out what the real numbers of BFP 1908 and 1909 are and rename them to that. Does anybody have any thoughts on the matter? Danochy ☎ 11:42, November 22, 2020 (UTC)
- I'd be in favour of either BFP08 1 (eh), something like BFP 08-01 (to show that this isn't really an ordinary case of T:MAGS), or, indeed, getting a table together and numbering them more traditionally.
- If we do go the more traditional route, I'd strongly recommend leaving redirects for the more BF website-compatible numbering. These could be created en masse by bot. Any thoughts from the community?
