Should this be reworked to a one-off prefix, as with the [[KAC]] pilot? Or should [[The Lost Stories]] as a whole be given a prefix instead to differentiate from the regular series? -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 18:20, June 28, 2012 (UTC)

:Hmmm. Really good question.  I tend to favor giving all the Lost Stories their own prefix.  It's a pretty easy bot fix, so the work time isn't an issue in this case.  The reason I like this approach is because the guys at Big Finish have been specifically asked about how the Seventh Doctor stuff is supposed to marry up, and Richardson said that the Lost Stories and the regular monthlies are "separate continuities". And there really ''is'' a tonal difference between the Sixth Doctor Lost Stories stuff and his regular BFA stuff.
:Actually the more I think about it, the more I think we should change BFA to BFM — for ''monthly'' — just so it's clear what Big Finish audios we actually mean.  Again, it's not a hard bot fix.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">03:42: Tue&nbsp;10 Jul 2012&nbsp;</span>

IndexPanopticon → The Destroyers and other Lost Stories
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

I realise that it's included as part of a Second Doctor boxset, but the The Destroyers doesn't feature the Doctor (specified on BFA as a requirement for that prefix), nor is the cover on the page advertised as Doctor Who. In fact, the original script's a pilot for an outright spin-off.

Should this be reworked to a one-off prefix, as with the KAC pilot? Or should The Lost Stories as a whole be given a prefix instead to differentiate from the regular series? -- Tybort (talk page) 18:20, June 28, 2012 (UTC)
