I've been considering some partially similar although not as far reaching ideas as PicassoAndPringles. And I realised that I need to understand the intent of these pages. To make some kind of principled stand, I need to know either the existing policy (which we don't seem to have) or the goals we are trying to achieve. Let me give an example: I've been advised to create as many pages for in-universe entities as possible. If it is mentioned or implied, then create a page. And recently I've understood the intent of this. Because of the in-universe perspective policy, we need the DWU to be as large as possible to afford references to things not explicitly mentioned but strongly implied in the current story. | I've been considering some partially similar although not as far reaching ideas as PicassoAndPringles.

If somebody asks why we use, say, (box set) as a dab term, the answer is because <link to BF website where it's called that>. In particular, a discussion such as this would be prevented. Secondly, (box set) is almost connotation-free, unlike (audio anthology): any multi-CD release could conceivably be called a (box set). | If somebody asks why we use, say, (box set) as a dab term, the answer is because <link to BF website where it's called that>.
