::With all of this said, I'm not sure where I stand on specifics. Time Rift, sure, Devious, yeah, Enterprise, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The talk page for this one makes me feel a little squeamish. But I'd also suggest that we allow [[Charity publication]] style articles for particularly notable fan productions in general. If we know a fan production has a direct DWU link, through licensed characters or cast/crew, we create a page that notes that and discusses the production in the broadest possible terms. Similarly if the fan production goes on to inspire DWU work and this is stated in interviews by DWU cast/crew.

::: I do like this proposition in theory. I am all for expanding our coverage of real world topics, and having created [[Doctor Who (Virgin Trains Super Voyager)|a few]] [[UN's legal actions against the UNIT acronym|real world articles]] I do have some concerns about how far our real world scope should go, as [[T:VS]] doesn't tell us what real world articles are okay and which ones aren't, given its predominant focus on in-universe articles. I do feel like our scope, however it exists, should allow us to cover fan works. | |||
::: I do support covering ''Time Rift'' and ''Devious'', but I do perhaps have a little doubt about ''Enterprise'', given it's lack of any official connections, even retroactive, but I feel the argument about it being a very notable fan work is mostly convincing. (This is where a Tardis Expanded Wiki might be ideal, for these edge cases of fan works with official connections. <s>And I don't mean [[w:c:dwexpanded:Main Page|the DWExpanded Wiki]], ''that'' one is a mess and is not exactly compatible with this Wiki, and covers straight-up fanfic.</s> | |||
::: One question I do have is: how does this affect the coverage of ''[[The Fan Gallery]]''? ''[[A Better World (short story)|A Better World]]'' ought to be covered, given its licensed connections to [[Auteur]], but a few others may also need to be covered, such as that one with [[Bernice Summerfield]], as well as one other I shan't go into detail about yet given the fact that I wrote it and I do have plans regarding a rerelease without any of the copyrighted elements I don't own. And it is at this point I feel issues may arise with [[Tardis:Don't wikify your own material]], given how some of us Wiki editors are also writers of fanfic with official connections. It's something to mull over. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 20:25, 28 May 2023 (UTC) |
