:Speaking of which, do we plan to link to [http://wiki.doctorwhowit.com/WITpedia:About WITpedia] on the main page?

::Well, let's examine this point by point, roughly in reverse order. | |||
::*Nope, won't be linking to this wiki from the front page. The front page links are reserved for ''Wikia'' wikis only. Of course, you ''may'' link to it in the "External links" sections of articles, provided that it can be viewed without being signed in. (I haven't actually checked this, since I've been signed in when I've visited.) | |||
::*WITpedia is in no meaningful sense "official". Yes, it's hosted on the BBC Online servers, but it's not a closed wiki edited by the staff. Were that the case, I'd call it "official". Instead, it's open to anyone to edit, which means it's no more official than this wiki. | |||
::*[[Companion (Worlds in Time)]] has been deleted. That doesn't even rise to the level of discussion, I don't think, since that's just another way of saying "you", and "you" aren't a part of the DWU. Moreover, the multiplayer aspect absolutely complicates the writing of the article to an essentially unworkable degree. In order for the narrative of this game to work at all on this wiki, it has to be relatable from the point of view of the Doctor. Which means, fo course, that this game really can't be written up on this wiki. I don't see how you tell any of the story without referring to the player, and the player isn't playing — as is the case in many ''Star Wars'' and ''Star Trek'' games, or even ''[[The Adventure Games]]'' — a named, established character in the fictional universe. Every player is playing ''a different'' character that they have themselves named. That just doesn't work for us narratively. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">16:45: Fri 23 Mar 2012 </span> | |||
