The Trial of Doctor Who[[edit source]]
In recent years, the wiki has seen value in validly covering in-universe partially-recap narratives in otherwise non-fictional books (such as material fromThe Doctor: His Lives and Times or Dalek: The Astounding Untold History of the Greatest Enemies of the Universe), usually provided that they contain some original narrative content and that they are clearly demarcated from the out-of-universe side of things. I believe that the narrative content in Making of Doctor Who meets these requirements, and I'd be interested in making a story page for it. It doesn't seem like the validity of the piece has been discussed before.
Within the book's table of contents, the narrative content is split into two chapters, titled The Trial of Doctor by the Time Lords and The Travels of Doctor Who, but when reading the piece one finds that there isn't a clear line of separation between these two halves, and the conclusion to the Trial is actually given in Travels rather than Trial. As a whole, these two chapters have a single title page titled The Trial of Doctor Who which gives in-universe introduction to both Trial and Travels. I would therefore lean towards covering this as a single story at The Trial of Doctor Who (short story). Thoughts and opinions appreciated. CoT ? 03:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
