Rename

I've added a {{rename}} tag to the page as I feel "Fourth wall (in-universe)" would better get across the difference between this and "fourth wall", as well as not using capitalisation which, presumably, only one source uses. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 23:33, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

This seems sensible. (This is not a closing post.)

It should be Fourth Wall though, as From Wildthyme with Love capitalises thr term.

I guess I don't feel that strongly on that bit, but I definitely think an "(in-universe)" dab would help differentiate it, either way. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 00:05, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Having now read it, the term is used uncapitalised in Freaky Foolsday ^[+]Loading...["Freaky Foolsday (short story)"]. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 21:19, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Scope

Would this page be able to cover stuff like the Fifteenth Doctor's reference to diagesis in The Devil's Chord ^[+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"]? (Or, also, various parts of that comic I did, which has Jenny break the fourth wall a bit) Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 23:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

I think it should cover direct mentions, rather than listing examples where from our perspective, as readers the fourth wall has been broken. It would be good to be able to cite a connection between the fourth wall and diegesis, from an in-universe source.
