Within hours of [[Tardis:Temporary forums]] being activated, it began filling up with suggestions that we redeem all sorts of things from ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]'' to ''[[Vienna (series)|Vienna]]'' from {{tlx|invalid}} status. Now, any one of these cases might have some hitherto-undocumented aspect which would justify their validity under the current regime of [[T:VS]], and I do not mean to make their potential validation ''depend'' upon the following proposal — but it seems to me that there is a common theme to all these proposals, constituting evidence of a systematic disconnect between our validity policies and the intuitions of readers and editors alike. I propose that we tackle the problem at the rule, and examine the possibility of fixing ''that'' underlying issue. | Within hours of [[Tardis:Temporary forums]] being activated, it began filling up with suggestions that we redeem all sorts of things from ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]'' to ''[[Vienna (series)|Vienna]]'' from {{tlx|invalid}} status.
