:: As concerns [[T:BOUND]], it has indeed long been established practice that "current practice spread across dozens of pages on the Wiki" counts as one of the things you're not supposed to upend without prior discussion. There is in fact a proposal in the [[Tardis:Temporary forums]] to officially enshrine this in the text of the page, but to be clear that's a procedural issue, not a sign that it's not ''already'' how things work.

::: Don't we technically consider ''The Stolen Earth'' and ''Journey's End'' to be one story, though? [[Series 4 (Doctor Who)]] says that the series has 18 stories, indicating that we count two-part stories as just that: a story of two parts.

: This is just semantics, but '''if something has a story page and has "(TV story)" in the title, the Wiki considers it to be a story'''. That's not even a causal statement saying that one implies the other: these are synonymous. The only thing I have been trying to say in this entire debacle is that '''given that we have "story" right there in the title of those pages, it would be pointless and confusing to pussyfoot around language that refers to them as "stories"''' on e.g. cast pages. We don't need to dance around sentences like "In the [[Sixth Doctor]] TV story ''[[The Mysterious Planet (TV story)|The Mysterious Planet]]''…" when our page is literally at "(TV story)"! (Of course, I know you have a proposal to change dab terms ''there'', but even setting aside the fact that I would be against this proposal, that makes it a straightforward T:BOUND issue: you shouldn't be trying to implement things relating to this change until that change itself actually goes through.)
