Talk:Gallifrey/Appearances

This page, amongst some others, still lists Heaven Sent/Hell Bent as a two-parter, contrary to this wiki's current numbering. Which is correct? 81.141.205.13^{talk to me} 21:28, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

This is one thing where I dearly wish we had the forum archives to check, but I'm fairly sure the ruling of the last time we had a mammoth-sized thread about multi-parters and story numbering was that the Wiki should cease trying to number stories altogether (at least in infobox). Hence: what do you mean when you speak of "this Wiki's current numbering"?

In any event, I'm not sure it's worth the headache induced by this question at all. Why do we list NuWho "multi-parters" the way we do, rather than just list them out normally? Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 22:42, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

I could be wrong, but I don't think that forum was ever closed. There were still quite a lot of people who insisted that we should number episodes. Shambala108 ☎ 23:27, 22 August 2021 (UTC)

Agh. Drat the Forums' unavailability. But for what it's worth, what I seem edto recall was that a thread about multi-parters got so long that it was closed not with a full ruling but with "this thread is too messy, let's draw what conclusions we can on some things, and leave the remaining contentious questions to be discussed anew in different threads". And I remembered the "no story numbers in infoboxes" as having been one of the only things actually ruled upon. Again though… Just my recollection. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 23:33, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
