(TV story)

Does this truly count as a TV story if it has never been broadcast on TV; instead first released in a cinema screening? Notsimonpegg 01:19, September 17, 2015 (UTC)

I've been researching this question but it's only raising more questions. We've had longstanding stories like First Night (and all other DVD extras) dabbed as TV stories even though they've never appeared on TV. I thought this would be true of The Doctor's Meditation as well. In attempting to get a solid answer on this after seeing this on the talk page, I've found (home videos) is in fact a dab term, but there does not seem to be a dab term for a situation like this one, where The Doctor's Meditation first aired in a theatre. However, all story pages are still required to have dab terms. Mewiet 02:49, September 18, 2015 (UTC)
I've yet to come across a dab term for releases like this. The dab (film) is apparently an in-universe only dab. I do seem to vaguely recall a debate about The Night of the Doctor having a (TV story) or (webcast) dab because it was initially released as a webcast, but it was originally intended (and indeed later broadcast) to be premiered on TV and the threat of press leaks caused an early webcast release, so I think the decision on that was to leave it as (TV story). I know that BBC America plans to air The Doctor's Meditation tomorrow, but I'm not sure TNOTD situation is applicable here because the original intended release was in movie theatres, for which no dab exists as far as I've found.

It's just been broadcast on Australian television. --MissRatbat 10:52, September 19, 2015 (UTC)
