Tardis talk:Format for television stories
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Discontinuities sections
The current format for television stories (and I presume others) reads as follows:
- Plot holes, continuity conflicts with other stories, and bloopers which got past the editing process all go here.
- These may be explained and placed in round brackets and italics. (This is not a necessity, some statements or questions can just be left as is without answers.)
- This area should not be used as a discussion forum for elements of disagreement of the story. Discussions of this type may be conducted in Forum:The Howling
I'm noticing that on a number of television episode pages (such as The End of Time) these sections are becoming collections of nitpicks and almost approaching discussion status. There is also a large amount of speculation found within, and it is getting to the point where it seems like more time is spent on speculating and changing the speculations of other people rather than making the article the best that it can be.
It seems to me (and I may be wrong and out of line here) that we need to revisit these sections and perhaps come up with a better approach to their content and purpose. Thoughts? -- sulfur 18:24, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
