Can we decide upon a general rule for what should be included in the 'timeline' section on story articles. By this, I do not mean what type of information we should include but who we include.

If you look at Let's Kill Hitler. The timeline section on that page includes: The Doctor, Amy, Rory, River. Young Amy and Young Rory. Doomsday includes: The Doctor, Rose, Mickey, Jackie, Daleks and the Cybermen.

Are all these really that necessary? Would it not be easier just to have one timeline - which should be for the Doctor (or the main character of the story).

We really don't need to have five or six different timelines for characters in a story, when it is obvious what story happens next for them (for example Rose timeline on Doomsdays, states her next story is Turn Left. Do we need to say this when it is so obvious?)

I propose we rethink the timeline section and what we include in them. I think th best way forward is to just simple include the 'main character' (i.e The Doctor, Sarah Jane, Torchwood). The only exception for this I think would Journey's End' and when we have all three of them on the page.
