I'd just like to note that I don't really ''care'' that much whether the VHS version of ''Shada'' is included or excluded — I was just looking for guidance on what to do in the (ultimately insignificant) cases in which the different versions of the story disagree, beyond the question of which Doctor had the adventure. I don't really have a cat in the fight of which version takes precedence. (But [[Sabjatrik]] might.) —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 05:30, July 6, 2012 (UTC) | I'd just like to note that I don't really ''care'' that much whether the VHS version of ''Shada'' is included or excluded — I was just looking for guidance on what to do in the (ultimately insignificant) cases in which the different versions of the story disagree, beyond the question of which Doctor had the adventure.

My advice is to ignore the problem, edit the pieces as completely different stories. Perhaps someday someone who is interested will do an article here on the conflicts between them. But take a look at the trivialities of how these terrible problems are resolved: by determining the proper spelling of made-up names. As writers and editors it behooves us to tend to such matters, but it's not the reason people hate this story. Spell the article one way, make sure the other spellings link to it and note the different spellings at the end. Let thte intelligent reader understand there is an issue and make up his own mind. 12:28, July 6, 2012 (UTC) | |||
