Admin notice: be careful, Vienna is still not a valid source

In case anyone is wondering why we now have a page about this even though Vienna, ever since Thread:125464, has become well-established as one of the poster-children for series we could imaginably cover, but do not:

Any series that has fully-licensed crossovers with the DWU has sufficent "connections" with the franchise to merit a single overview page within the "Real world series with DWU connections" cat.

And that's before you go into the many "shared cast members". If we're going to have a page on Born and Bred purely based on production connections, even though there isn't a shred of narrative or legal connection between the two franchises, then it'd simply be T:NPOV-infringing "TV is more important" prejudice not to extend the same courtesy to an audio series as closely related to Doctor Who as Vienna.

But again, this is one of our BTS "series with connections to the DWU" pages. Nothing has changed: Vienna is still not a valid source on this Wiki. By the same token, however, this page shouldn't have the "Invalid" tag any more than Star Trek does. Its validity isn't even "on the table" in the current setup, as it were — we're covering it strictly as a footnote to the history of actual DWU productions, not as a source for in-universe articles of any kind. --Scrooge MacDuck 17:59, October 26, 2020 (UTC)

Make use of the Vienna Wiki

Regardless of the status of various parts of the Vienna audio series, as admin (and main contributor) of the Vienna Wiki, feel free to help yourselves to any parts of the Vienna Wiki instead of writing it yourself and using your valuable time. I'm currently on a slow but steady journey to fill the Plot sections of every Vienna story in her series but I'm not even halfway through yet. I've made some solid progress though. If there's anything else you require from the Vienna Wiki, let me know.

If, at some point in the future, this Wiki felt it appropriate to make the Vienna series valid to the DWU, I would still update all of the Vienna pages, rest assured, as I intend to do with the Jenny and Graceless series respectively, when I get the time. Again, let me know if you need anything. Also, any fellow Vienna listeners are more than welcome to help out over at the Vienna Wiki. TheFartyDoctor Talk 15:33, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
