 * Unproduced stories have no public credits.  Thus, all personnel in the infobox and in any "crew" section within the body of the article need '''specific citation'''.  You can't just say Graham Harper was the director of ''[[Yellow Fever and How to Cure It (TV story)|Yellow Fever and How to Cure It]]'' without proof.
 * Equally, production codes have to be specifically cited for unproduced stories.  We ''do'' have some examples of unproduced stories that actually got production codes.  But it's not every single one of them, and you have to be able to prove the point. You gotta be really careful with ''[[The Lost Season]]'', too, as source.  It's not necessarily giving real evidence, but extrapolating what the production code ''might'' have been.
-* Seasons have to be backed up, too.  You also can't link to a season that exists. For instance, linkage to [[season 27]] doesn't work, because season 27 is the same thing as [[series 1 (Doctor Who)]].  So to say that ''Crime of the Century'' is part of season 27 is awfully misleading.   Actually, for most of these, you might consider whether it makes more sense to have the season variable un-linked so that you can explain better what you mean.  You don't mean CotC was a part of season 27.  For clarity, you mean it was a part of the "unproduced 1990 season".

 To sum up, if you try to use an infobox on something, and the variables just aren't ''quite'' fitting, '''stop what you're doing'''.  Then '''ask for help'''.  Don't go and do a lot of work that has to be ripped up.  And with unproduced stories, you have to give a citation for just about every piece of information in the infobox, since none of it is readily apparent on credits.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}18:40: Thu&nbsp;12 Apr 2012&nbsp;</span>

-Hiya :) I've unfortunately had to remove most of your work at [[2013]].  According to our [[T:SPOIL|spoiler policy]], we only allow coverage of ''future'' events on the series page associated with upcoming releases.  At present, that means '''[[series 7 (Doctor Who)|series 7]]'''.  It's a violation of [[T:OFF REL]] to mention future releases on 2013 pages.  Information can be entered there only after the release has actually ocurred.  This policy:

 *"future proofs" the article by forcing all entries to use the past tense (we don't have to go back and change "will be released" into "was released")
 *protects us against the inevitable case of a story being released on a different date than originally scheduled.

-Hey OS. Just a reminder: Please do not add speculation to any article - as you did on [[Series 7 (Doctor Who)]]. All your edits yesterday (26 January 2013) has no source, barring on which was a source from a website which violates [[T:VALID]]. ''Doctor Who TV'' violates that.

 I'm surprised that you did this. It is very unyouish. I would have thought, given how long you been here, that information like the stuff you add to the Series 7 page should be sourced.
