Missing appearances
unfortunately i have been accused of a bad faith edit, apparently i went ahead and made a "massive decision" - in removing Madame Vastra and Strax from their respective species' LOA pages - without discussion. however, the discussion was first started in May 2016 here and the three people who bothered to get involved in that time all agreed to the change.

- I never accused you of making a bad faith exist. I did say you had made a massive decision, which you did. You removed tons of stories from the lists of appearances, which is a major edit; and you did so even though there was an existing decision on the topic that no admin had closed, which I think is poor protocol (though as it is not a thread, it may not be as hard-and-fast a rule).
- As for the factual issue — I believe that readers will want to know that there is a Silurian in e.g. The Crimson Horror, whether or not that Silurian happens to be a recurring character. I mean, by analogy, the Cult of Skaro are individualised, recurring characters, so applying that same standard to other species would mean that Daleks in Manhattan shouldn't be at Daleks - list of appearances, which I think would just be outright silly.
- I think the fact that not every story with the Doctor or Master in it is at Time Lords - list of appearances should be the exception, not the rule.--Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 16:56, June 18, 2020 (UTC)
