{{retitle|The Panopticon/Navigation templates for Big Finish audios for the "New Series"}} | |||
At the moment there are several navigation templates (navtemps) that are applied inconsistently. Some of them duplicate each other and keeping two copies will inevitably lead to bad maintenance. I propose to decide which of them to keep and to apply this decision uniformly to Big Finish's multiple ranges. Here is the current situation: | At the moment there are several navigation templates (navtemps) that are applied inconsistently.

* There is one consolidated navtemp [[Template:NS]] that collects six of the New Series ranges and series together (plus one stand-alone story), but notably does not cover '''Torchwood''' audios (the reason is because Torchwood audios are not included into "The New Series" range by BF). This template is currently applied on all ranges it covers except for the new UNIT series. | * There is one consolidated navtemp [[Template:NS]] that collects six of the New Series ranges and series together (plus one stand-alone story), but notably does not cover '''Torchwood''' audios (the reason is because Torchwood audios are not included into "The New Series" range by BF).

This allows to separate things that BF itself separates. And it keeps in the consolidated template only clearly anthological things, involving multiple doctors and with somewhat cursory common threads. | This allows to separate things that BF itself separates.

Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated. The main goal is to avoid the necessity to enter one multibox series into multiple templates, sometimes in different forms (compare names of boxes for New Series in the UNIT template and consolidated template). | Thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.
