Apart from that, a couple of points could really use your input. The first is the fact that there are a few specials which seem to for all intents and purposes be part of ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]],'' sharing production personnel and narrators, but for whatever reason didn't actually go out under the ''Doctor Who Confidential'' banner. Should these continue to be listed as "in all but name" ''Confidential'' episodes, or should they be removed from ''Confidential'' and relisted simply as documentaries? The articles in question are [[Doctor Who: A New Dimension]], [[The Ultimate Guide]], and [[At the Proms]]. | Apart from that, a couple of points could really use your input.

:Well, as the author of [[List of Doctor Who Confidential episodes]], clearly I do think these three episodes about which you're talking should still be grouped with the main series. They only failed to go out under the ''Confidential'' banner for scheduling reasons. I think the list makes quite clear that the eps are somewhat "different" than the ones that surround it. It's quite common for these episodes to be listed alongside "proper" DWC eps, as evidenced at imdb and wikipedia. And again, I know we're ''not'' imdb or wikipedia, and therefore free to cut our own path, but it makes no sense to do so. They aren't "independent" documentaries; they simply don't have the same title card as other episodes. There's also precedence from the DVDs, wherein "[[Backstage at Christmas]]" — which hasn't got a ''Confidential'' title card, but does have the same kind of title card as ''New Dimension'' and ''Ultimate Guide'' — is said to be a part of DWC. By extension, therefore, the others are a part of DWC.

I've just killed a good chunk of time by filling in all the redlinks on List of Doctor Who Confidential episodes. The episodes all need de-stubbing, so please keep that in mind if you find yourself rewatching any of them.
Apart from that, a couple of points could really use your input. The first is the fact that there are a few specials which seem to for all intents and purposes be part of Doctor Who Confidential, sharing production personnel and narrators, but for whatever reason didn't actually go out under the Doctor Who Confidential banner. Should these continue to be listed as "in all but name" Confidential episodes, or should they be removed from Confidential and relisted simply as documentaries? The articles in question are Doctor Who: A New Dimension, The Ultimate Guide, and At the Proms.
The other point I wish to raise is the conjectural titles of Children in Need Special (CON episode) and At the Proms. I've done my best, but whenever bbc.co.uk failed me I had to Google up what I could and go from there, so if there are better titles out there we could definitely use them.

- Well, as the author of List of Doctor Who Confidential episodes, clearly I do think these three episodes about which you're talking should still be grouped with the main series. They only failed to go out under the Confidential banner for scheduling reasons. I think the list makes quite clear that the eps are somewhat "different" than the ones that surround it. It's quite common for these episodes to be listed alongside "proper" DWC eps, as evidenced at imdb and wikipedia. And again, I know we're not imdb or wikipedia, and therefore free to cut our own path, but it makes no sense to do so. They aren't "independent" documentaries; they simply don't have the same title card as other episodes. There's also precedence from the DVDs, wherein "Backstage at Christmas" — which hasn't got a Confidential title card, but does have the same kind of title card as New Dimension and Ultimate Guide — is said to be a part of DWC.
