So the simple solution? Validate the 1985 version and just have to deal with "according to one account Jimmy Savile entered the TARDIS and gave Gareth Jenkins a medal and the [[meson gun]] prop". Not too complicated, is it? If the pages are merged, I do feel it is necessary to keep [[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)]] as a redirect for the occasions we want to specifically cite the 2022 recut, as well as allowing "([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (home video)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'')" to be used alongside "([[TV]]: ''[[A Fix with Sontarans (TV story)|A Fix with Sontarans]]'')" as co-existing citations. This probably will be even easier to do given the developments at [[Forum:Cite source, a new citation template]]! | So the simple solution?

Oh, and I also created [[User:Epsilon | Oh, and I also created [[User:Epsilon/A Fix with Sontarans]] to demonstrate what the merge article would look like. I am proud of it, I must admit. | ||
The other solution to the validity of the 1985 version of ''A Fix with Sontarans'' is to ''in''validate the 2022 cut, which I feel is wholly unideal and would result in an unfair invalidation of a source despite it passing [[T:VS]] and would also impact a lot of valid pages which cite the 2022 cut, such as [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet]], as the 2022 cut seems to actually conflate the [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Brigade]] from ''AFwS'' and the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet from ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]''. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 17:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC) | The other solution to the validity of the 1985 version of ''A Fix with Sontarans'' is to ''in''validate the 2022 cut, which I feel is wholly unideal and would result in an unfair invalidation of a source despite it passing [[T:VS]] and would also impact a lot of valid pages which cite the 2022 cut, such as [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet]], as the 2022 cut seems to actually conflate the [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Brigade]] from ''AFwS'' and the Tenth Sontaran Battle Fleet from ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]''. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 17:16, 16 July 2023 (UTC) | ||
