Over the past decade, we've been blessed with a plethora of new audio series from [[Big Finish]]. This has given us a chance to fine-tune our system of titling pages for audio series, which started out clearly listing the publisher (for instance, the recently-retired [[Big Finish Bernice Summerfield series]]), then shifted to the [[Eighth Doctor Adventures (audio series)|Title (audio series)]] format, which has been [[Thread:193754|further]] [[Thread:227330|fine-tuned]] and worked into law by our resident dab term king, [[User:Amorkuz]]. | Over the past decade, we've been blessed with a plethora of new audio series from [[Big Finish]].

And to pre-empt the SEO critique that has foiled my proposals in the past: this will actually help! If a [[not we]] was trying to find a page about the [[BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures|Eighth Doctor book series]], is it more likely that they'd google "Eighth Doctor Adventure books", "Eighth Doctor book series", or "BBC Books Eighth Doctor Adventures"? I'm guessing one of the former two. In fact, I guarantee that virtually no one is searching for the last option. (There's only one Eighth Doctor book series.) Now, bearing in mind that Google includes synonyms by weighting searches, would "BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures" or "Eighth Doctor Adventures (prose series)" be a better fit for that search? | And to pre-empt the SEO critique that has foiled my proposals in the past: this will actually help!

As it happens, some form of this idea has already been implemented: for instance, at [[Dr. Men (series)]]. The infobox on the page describes the series as a "book series", so it's apparent that a lack of precedent is the only reason the dab term isn't more specific. I say we make the precedent, and make our wiki clearer in the process. | As it happens, some form of this idea has already been implemented: for instance, at [[Dr. Men (series)]].
