Why TARDIS cannot be used in the infobox until the discussion closes[[edit source]]
"The infoboxes are not for trivial information or for information that is disputed. Therefore, unless the story outright states that Silurians are native to the planet, it will be removed from the infobox." Stated by Shambala108 at Talk:Campra.
In this case, the story does not outright state that the Ship is the Doctor's TARDIS or that timeship Lolita is a TARDIS. There is an ongoing discussion on Panopticon, that has not been decided or closed. Amorkuz ☎ 20:13, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
- You opened a discussion. Having done so, you are barred from changing things related to that discussion. --Pluto2 (talk) 20:15, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
- I have not changed a single word on the page, nor the categories. As stated above, by an admin, things can only go into infobox if they are indisputable, certainly not when they are actively disputed by a number of people. Infobox can only contain objective information. Amorkuz ☎ 20:18, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
A quote from another admin, explicitly instructing to remove all speculation from inboxes: "...infoboxes are not meant to be exhaustive. If there's any doubt about information contained therein, you should remove that info and then leave an edit summary explaining why you've done that." Stated by CzechOut at his talk page.

Lolita is a timeship created by the Great Houses. In fact, she is the sole member of House Lolita, which is itself a Great House. This is stated multiple times in the Faction Paradox audios and The Book of the War. Please don't make edits to pages you're not familiar with, and respect the rules of T:BOUND.

- I'm happy that I am finally getting answers about the content. When this information is provided on the relevant Panopticon threads and they are closed by admins, perhaps, then the information will cease to be disputed. For now it is. Thus, (please read the statements of two admins above, please, I beg you), it cannot be used in infobox. Amorkuz ☎ 21:55, January 22, 2017 (UTC)
Just to comment on User:NateBumber's comment above ("Please don't make edits to pages you're not familiar with"): this is not policy. (If it were, the wiki would probably fall apart.) We do discourage people writing plot summaries if they haven't read/seen/heard the stories, because they often violate Tardis:Plagiarism in doing so; but there's nothing wrong with editing a page you're not familiar with, as long as you're following the rules of the wiki and respecting any info that's provided by others.

Change to Species[[edit source]]
So three years later, Scrooge has linked the forum post in question, and it seems that in Thread:209869#74 it was ceded that TARDIS is the correct species.
- you persuasively (for me) argued for Lolita above
the thread in question was also closed. I assume there's no issue in changing the infobox species now? Najawin ☎ 12:16, July 28, 2020 (UTC)
