I would like to address two issues recently raised in [[Thread:164173#35]] concerning TARDIS policies that need community attention: | I would like to address two issues recently raised in [[Thread:164173#35]] concerning TARDIS policies that need community attention: | ||

Taking CzechOut's reminder from [[Thread:164173#35]] into serious account, I am firmly against Point 2. Keeping AGMGTW and LKH linked and therefore setting a precedent that return cards count as "to be continued" cards would require an insane amount of confusing and needless editing. Stories upon stories that frankly have no business being considered mutli-parters would have to be linked. There is far less work involved in separating AGMGTW and LKH and recognizing that return cards are distinct from "to be continued" cards. | Taking CzechOut's reminder from [[Thread:164173#35]] into serious account, I am firmly against Point 2.

Point 1 doesn't cause as much havoc as Point 2, but I don't think we should count AGMGTW as the end of a three-parter with TRF and TAP or TNOTD as the first half of TDOTD. "To be continued" is so inconsistently applied (sometimes two-parters get "to be continued" cards, sometimes they don't, sometimes random episodes like TAP/TNOTD get them when the episodes that follow them have nothing in common except for basic continuity) that I don't believe it should be accepted as a strict rule. | Point 1 doesn't cause as much havoc as Point 2, but I don't think we should count AGMGTW as the end of a three-parter with TRF and TAP or TNOTD as the first half of TDOTD.
