"Yes, we know who you are."
Not sure how it should be presented (I'm used to just adding or clarrifying bulletpoints, not adding whole paragraphs or sections), but we can all agree this is a very clear reference to Terry Nation, lord and creator of the Pepperpots, right? I feel like that should be noted on the page somewhere. (Tho, I don't know if it should go in the BTS section or a newly added Notes section). Unless the reference is simply too overt to mention? (I'm not too familiar with the wiki policies.) Noob Sunrider ☎ 18:15, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
- A behind the scenes note should be fine. 18:36, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
