Coverage

there are one or two things on this page that have been realeased. Eudfgshjfhbjsdhfgdjsiu (usertalk:Eudfgshjfhbjsdhfgdjsiu) 6 April, 2020, 2:54

Should the upcoming Arcbeetle The Minister of Chance novel be added? I know this site has hang-ups about that series but knowing Arcbeetle they are going to lean heavily into the connections with Doctor Who. I think the fact that they're able to create a novel for the series shows that the legal issues that this site is concerned with aren't that problematic. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎ 09:32, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Whether they lean into the Who connection or not, we will cover the book if it's fully licensed, albeit as {{invalid}}; it is only because of the alleged legal issues that the audio series is not currently covered in some capacity. If new data on the Minister's legal status do in fact come to light as a result of this release, and clear up the prior suspicions that the Minister was to some degree a BBC-owned character and therefore illegally used in the audios, there will be no argument against creating pages for the audio series and, yes, the book. Although whether they're valid will perhaps be a discussion of its own. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 09:36, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll add it to the page because I don't think there's any possibility that Arcbeetle would publish something that isn't fully licensed. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎ 09:41, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Historical question

For fact-finding purposes, I would like to know when and where it was decided to allow this page and List of future releases. Does anyone remember where the discussion took place? Thanks Shambala108 ☎ 01:35, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Hm. Good question. I think there was a discussion in the Forums clarifying all this — though it's hard to be sure in the current state of affairs.

That being said, as SOTO's ruling pointed out, Tardis:Who writes policy does allow for community consensus to emerge even outside the Forum. The de facto endorsement of this page and its BF-centric little sibling by the community for several years does, I think, justify their explicit addition to Tardis:Where spoilers are allowed. No time like the present, there — I'll go take care of that. Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 23:41, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Books

Hi, can upcoming books published by BBC Children's Books or BBC Books also be added to their respective pages as well as here; i.e. BBC Children's Books and BBC Books (2022).

Thanks. Doc77can ☎ 22:11, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
