==Big Finish and overt sexuality==
{{ArchCat}}
This page currently states "Nothing made by Big Finish Productions or AudioGo contains swearing or overt sexuality or gory sound effects."  However there are a couple of exceptions to that general rule, even among their DWU productions. ''[[Graceless]]'' is adult-level with sex scenes and swearing, and BF's own pages for the stories carry the warning "NOTE: Graceless contains some adult material and is not suitable for younger listeners." The documentary release ''[[Benjamin & Baxter]]'' carries the same warning due to frank discussions of sexuality. — [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] - '''[[User talk:Rob T Firefly|Δ]][[Special:Contributions/Rob T Firefly|∇]]''' - 18:05, May 25, 2014 (UTC)

The infobox says TW has no drug use. However, although children are not generally considered to be a drug, surely the 456 using them as such would count as an instance of drug use, just as much as fictional drugs (e.g. emotion patches in DW: Gridlock)? -- [[User:Sorceror Nobody|Sorceror Nobody]] [[User talk:Sorceror Nobody|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:39, November 9, 2014 (UTC)

== Just a question of tone ==
 
Thinking of the similarities between DW and LOTR, it strikes me how much more 'pugilistic' the tone is between the DW-themed Parent Page and the LOTR at http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/LOTR:ParentPage and makes me wonder- is it necessary to be so off-putting? One might think the page goes out of its way to give pause to parents before introducing them to DW. Your point about the hiatus novelizations is quite valid; but there's quite a wide swath of more 'canonical' materials that are, by and large, 'mostly harmless' (with apologies to Douglas Adams fans). Would a 'yes, but' tone work better here than a 'we don't serve their kind here' ''Star Wars''cantina-bartender prohibition you open up with? Under normal circumstances, I'd think navigating pre-teens safely around DW would be more like getting Bilbo to Rivendell, than bringing Frodo to Mount Doom....

While we are going to keep this page up, its current state sufficiently warns parents about what they can encounter in DWU fiction. The point of the page never was to exhaustively list every range we cover. Instead, it was to provide adequate warning to parents about broad truths.
At the end of the day, we have acted responsibly towards parents and given greater detail than most every other wiki at Fandom. We needn't work to further develop the page -- especially since the ParentPage programme was quietly retired some time ago by Fandom. All discussions have therefore been archived, with most motions not acted upon. Nevertheless, the admin staff thanks everyone who participated in the discussion. It helped make this one of the very best ParentPages at Fandom. :)
