: Personally, I don't see it being all that detrimental covering the rest of the game, especially with it all being segmented as alternate universes. In any case, there's one thing I want wrapped up before this forum closes: coverage of the tie-ins. In particular, the gameplay footage seen in {{cs|Endless Awesome (webcast)}} and {{cs|Supergirl Meets E.T. (webcast)}} (or any other promo videos I forgot). Despite my prior coverage, I'm not too sure the gameplay shown in those warrants coverage (other than that which is explicitly shown diagetically, like the bit with [[the Riddler]]).

::I don't really see the value in covering things that appear in gameplay footage seen in trailers. To me, the relevant part of a trailer is the content unique to it. | |||
::Phase 8 makes sense (although, personally, I like the idea of Phase 7), but I feel like there are some ways in which it could make more sense than others. Covering literally everything on a single behemoth page would make parsing the Doctor Who parts difficult in a way that, if we went with Phase 4, things wouldn't be so difficult. Based on the precedent of games like ''[[The Christmas Trap (video game)|The Christmas Trap]]'' and ''[[Bigger on the Inside (video game)|Bigger on the Inside]]'', we see the value of covering separate commercial add-ons to prior bigger video games on separate pages. We could have [[Lego Dimensions (series)]] for the wider franchise and [[Lego Dimensions (video game)]] for the baseline, no-frills game. At the very least, I think that the Lego Doctor Who world and ''The Dalek Extermination of Earth'' should get separate (video game) pages from the main Lego Dimensions game, because ''The Dalek Extermination'' was content only accessible with purchase of the Twelfth Doctor figure and the Doctor Who world could be accessed by purchasing either the Doctor or the Cyberman. Distinct commercial content. This principle would extend to the add-ons such as the Fantastic Beasts level pack - cover them as distinct entities. | |||
::The question from this structure would be: how to cover character/vehicle interactions? The DC Comics character Cyborg, for example, makes a comment if he's near the playable Cyberman, so would that mean we should have a page for the individual commercial release of the Cyborg Fun Pack? Maybe this is just autism speaking, but I see the value in that. But I would also see the value in a page called [Lego Dimensions character and vehicle interactions] or [Lego Dimensions (video game)/character and vehicle interactions], with a chart of all the ones relevant to Doctor Who.
