Revision as of 20:42, 17 September 2023
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
I've got something a little unusual that I think might be eligible for coverage by this wiki. A playset produced by Bluebird Toys in 1997 called In the Domain of the Daleks. The playset appears to be trying to tell a specific story, so I think it should be a source on this wiki. The problem is, I'm not exactly sure if it qualifies as a work of fiction. This might be a case of something passing the old version of Rule 1, but not the current version of it. If this is the case, I think coverage as invalid might be an option, as this wiki covers several things that aren't quite works of fiction as invalid. Cgl1999 ā 20:17, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, I think this'd definitely qualify for valid coverage. I'm not quite sure how it where you'd cover it, though. Aquanafrahudy š¢ 20:20, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
- Sure it's a work of fiction. Why wouldn't it be? It'sā¦ rather more difficult to figure out what the medium is, which would be rather necessary whether it's valid or invalid. "(game)"? Scrooge MacDuck ā 20:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
