: Also, I must say that as both issues are complex and independent from one another I'm not ''sure'' a single thread for both is the best way to proceed (one might for example think that the minerals in the ''Hitchhiker's'' book are just "namedrops" and don't therefore ''demand'' coverage in the same way as stories prominently using a Time Lord character as an actual member of the cast), but eh, let's see where it goes. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC) | : Also, I must say that as both issues are complex and independent from one another I'm not ''sure'' a single thread for both is the best way to proceed (one might for example think that the minerals in the ''Hitchhiker's'' book are just "namedrops" and don't therefore ''demand'' coverage in the same way as stories prominently using a Time Lord character as an actual member of the cast), but eh, let's see where it goes. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:25, 10 April 2024 (UTC) | ||
: I need a little bit more time to think on this. My immediate concern is that it would open the door to the coverage of **tons** of material that is truly quite immaterial to the DWU. Chronotis's use in Douglas Adams works was more a matter of reusing an (as far as he's aware) unused character from a story that got shelved. {{The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)}} isn't exactly the sort of thing that Adams would realistically have been aware of, so this feels like validity through techicality more than anything else. I don't know, I'll think more on this.
