Removal of the Hellscape link

Just can't see the sense in removing the main article link. If BBV decided to continue the Dionus's War and Rebirth series, without the Faction Paradox licensing, would we have to remove the main article link too? Having a main article link isn't asserting that the entire series was part of the whole, it is just redirecting any reader to the main article about the subject.

My view is that there are two series:

1. Faction Paradox: Hellscape, a subseries of Faction Paradox; and
2. Hellscape, a spinoff which is independent of the FP license and shouldn't be included on Faction Paradox.

Confusingly, the wiki's page naming format says that a page for Faction Paradox: Hellscape would be titled Hellscape (audio series) and a page for Hellscape would be titled Hellscape (audio series). To avoid this confusion and make it easier for readers, my view is that – since it's only a single release – we should just cover Faction Paradox: Hellscape at Faction Paradox (series)#Faction Paradox: Hellscape, rather than giving it is own page. This leaves Hellscape (audio series) for the independent Hellscape series. As a result, Hellscape (audio series) isn't the {{main}} page for Faction Paradox: Hellscape and shouldn't be linked as such. That's my logic! – n8 (☎) 16:55, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

The series has continued with Lucifer's Sleep, as it is still marked as a Faction Paradox series I assume the main link can be readded? DrWHOCorrieFan ☎ 21:39, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Yes, I suppose so. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 21:44, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Aha! More data. Trevor Spencer has explained on the official-unofficial Big Finish Forum that Season 1 of Hellscape will be under the Faction Paradox banner, but this will be dropped starting with Season 2. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 17:06, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

This statement is better than nothing, although given the situation with Translation, I'm not sure how much weight we can assign to the word of a BBV representative, should anything concrete appear to the contrary. – n8 (☎) 13:36, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Well, the latest word from the same representative, on the same Forum, is that the idea with Translation is that it features another Brigadier than Lethbridge-Stewart. Of course, I don't think anybody here has any illusions about what BBV are trying to do, but in that light they've yet to actually, provably lie about how their license agreements work. I don't think the Wiki can afford the slippery slope of doubting their word on principle as yet. (Also, I have a little more background information which can't be directly discussed on the Wiki due to T:SPOIL, could you scoot over onto Discord?) Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 13:43, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
