Talk:Series 13 (Doctor Who 2005)

Two reminders for the article and its talk page:

Any unsourced information on the main article page will be removed.
Absolutely no spoilers are allowed on this talk page.

Deletion

It's pretty common the wiki to host articles on upcoming seasons, is it not? For as long as I've been on the wiki's there've articles about each upcoming season. It's also done for audio anthologies. I think upcoming stories is where the release policy applies.

Just my two cents.

There's literally a banner that links to our spoiler policy which explicitly states series pages can have spoilers on them. An admin will remove the delete tag soon enough. Najawin ☎ 03:55, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Proposal for filming information

I'm not sure if this may be a discussion for the forums, but I was wondering if, instead of listing all the filming on this page only to have to move it later (a very tiresome task which I do not wish to do again having done it with Series 12), could we instead put a spoiler page on the production year page and just put the information straight there? I realise that if people are looking for filming location spoilers, they would come to this page, but the problem is that no one wants to clean the page up after the series has aired and it remains looking like a mess for months.

All I will say is that I have just seen it being done on upcoming Series since I joined the wiki, and just followed suit. However, I’m not exactly sure how this can be a tiresome task to remove if all that needs to be done is mark all the text you want removed and then delete. —Danniesen ☎ 17:06, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

But it isn't just deleting the information. It has to be moved to the production year page, reformatted (and sometimes rewritten) to fit that page's layout. And then we have to go through it all again on the series page, pick out the highlights and summarise the rest. It took me well over an hour to do it for the series 12 filming information. Just to be clear, I am not blaming any one person, I'm just asking if there is a different way of doing things. LauraBatham ☎ 02:27, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

I honestly don’t know of any easier way to do it. I’m not that well-versed in how Wikias function on deeper levels. Not that tech-savvy. —Danniesen ☎ 09:18, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

I get where you're coming from, but putting a spoiler tag on a year (production) page isn't really feasible. There are probably some people who would want to edit such a page with existing releases but are trying to avoid spoilers. Currently policy allows for putting a spoiler tag on series pages, but no other pages allow spoilers. At least it's something that doesn't happen too often. Shambala108 ☎ 00:37, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

No worries, it was just a thought. Thanks for replying :) LauraBatham ☎ 01:47, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
