Is the current format of the plotholes/errors section of this article seriously within guidelines? It seems very un-wiki to me to have two people arguing over events/opinions within the article itself, with very obviously two voices present in the narration. 203.33.165.216 08:23, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
- It occasionally needs a clean up. The comments in italics should come from canon and shouldn't contain speculative phrases. --Tangerineduel 13:36, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
In the Five Doctor's why has susan stayed the same, i mean if she is a time lord and she looks older then how has she stayed in the same form since we first saw DOCTOR WHo? regenerate already 11:47, 17 april 2010

"Game of Rassilon" link
The "Game of Rassilon" link in The Five Doctors (TV story) redirects to Help:Game of Rassilon, which is outright insane.
There ought to be a page for the original Game of Rassilon, as featured in the show. That, after all, is what anyone clicking on the link is going to be trying to find out about, not this wiki's game of the same title.
You may need a disambiguation page to sort out the confusion that results from this wiki's appropriation of the title for its own purposes. --2.101.53.235talk to me 22:50, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
I've removed the Game of Rassilon links as it does not lead to a page describing the Game as detailed above. When such a page is created then the links can be re-installed. Ventry Girl ☎ 06:28, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
- I have created a page for the Game of Rassilon and rolled back the two edits removing the links. Thanks for making us aware of this. --Tangerineduel / talk 06:56, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

- I wish you'd checked the "What Links Here" before you made this frankly major change, Tangerineduel. There are so many links to Game of Rassilon-as-redirect-to-Help:Game of Rassilon that the system can't display even a good fraction of them. There are also links in the javascript. Every single page displays a link to Game of Rassilon-as-Help:Game of Rassilon.

- I left behind adequate notes explaining the rationale for this change, but maybe it would help o explain the state of Game of Rassilon when I repurposed it a year ago. It redirected to Death Zone, and had done for four years, since its creation. There were zero link to it at the time. No one seemed interested in it, probably because Terrance Dicks never defined the damned thing with any clarity.
- In any event, the server load required to fix these tens of thousands of links is immense. So I've restored Game of Rassilon as a redirect. There are two avenues open to us going forward. We could just make The Game of Rassilon the page about the DWU concept. Yeah, that's an additional article, and we don't like doing that, but this is a special case. Or we could just have a sidebar at Help:Game of Rassilon which gives what's known about the in-universe concept. It could pull double duty as it were. That, too, is an unusual solution, but what we know about the Game is so little, we could easily accommodate it at the help page.
