So, with the announcement that there's going to be a DVD that rereleases old episodes, under the title ''Road to the Dark Times'', I think it's time we discuss how we cover older pieces of media retroactively being part of a story arc. There's been talk of this at [[Talk:Story arc]], but I'm putting it here because part of this requires discussion of spoilers. Thoughts?

The Howling → The Road to the Dark Times, story arcs, and how we cover it
So, with the announcement that there's going to be a DVD that rereleases old episodes, under the title Road to the Dark Times, I think it's time we discuss how we cover older pieces of media retroactively being part of a story arc. There's been talk of this at Talk:Story arc, but I'm putting it here because part of this requires discussion of spoilers. Thoughts?

- I personally think that we should allow retroactive additions to older story arcs. Since Doctor Who and the rest of the universe isn't made by one person, rather multiple people over the decades, authorial intent doesn't matter as much here, as opposed to something like Attack on Titan, where it's a singular person's vision.

- Let's be clear here,
- allow retroactive additions to older story arcs
- and
- older pieces of media retroactively being part of a story arc
- are not the same thing. The latter is not yet something we need to worry about that much, as we can simply note the relevant releases in the TLV section of the page as well. But if, say, an entire season was added retroactively to a new story arc, discontinuously from the ones around it, that would be an issue.
- Let's be clear here,
- The former is potentially solved by things like footnotes, or moving it to the multimedia section when it becomes such and putting a placeholder where it should have been saying "Season X would be here but due to later additions to its story it is now multi media".
