I think sometimes you forget that this is what the wiki is for as you put it "Fanwank" otherwise why right articles from an in-universe point of view hell why even write articles at all if you arn't going to state this story happens (obviously before this story) in Audio it works because they have there own timline, in novels it works because they have there own timline, short stoires perhapse not as they cross timelines, TV episodes easy (one is released after the other) and "Trying to place a short story next to a novel next to a televised serial next to a comic strip is a pointless exercise of speculation" as you put it who's doing that? timelines for me is linking fifth doctor audios together, fifth PDA's togeather ect not interseries and if people are doing that good luck to them but i see no problem is saying [[The Land of the Dead]] comes after [[Winter for the Adept]] because it does [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 06:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC) | I think sometimes you forget that this is what the wiki is for as you put it "Fanwank" otherwise why right articles from an in-universe point of view hell why even write articles at all if you arn't going to state this story happens (obviously before this story) in Audio it works because they have there own timline, in novels it works because they have there own timline, short stoires perhapse not as they cross timelines, TV episodes easy (one is released after the other) and "Trying to place a short story next to a novel next to a televised serial next to a comic strip is a pointless exercise of speculation" as you put it who's doing that? timelines for me is linking fifth doctor audios together, fifth PDA's togeather ect not interseries and if people are doing that good luck to them but i see no problem is saying [[The Land of the Dead]] comes after [[Winter for the Adept]] because it does [[User:Dark Lord Xander|Dark Lord Xander]] 06:13, 17 July 2008 (UTC) | ||
::And I don't see any harm in saying that, either. I just don't think it needs to be said twice on the same page, especially when the second time it's said, it takes up a whole section of the article. MOS says that sections shouldn't be created for trivial information. As for who's trying to track all stories in all media chronologically, well, take a stroll through the Sixth and Seventh Doctor's televised stories. I've been gradually removing them, but there are some vestiges still around, as at [[Battlefield]]. It's even in the infoboxes to some extent, as at [[Survival]]. I suppose this derives from some fans who still cling to the notion that the NA's are a "higher" form of novel (they were once briefly called '''the''' "official continuation of the series"), but it's a rather old-fashioned view of things these days. There's no particular reason to rate the NAs higher than the PDAs now, and the PDAs have somewhat upset the chronology of the NAs.
