Cast List

T:CAST states that the cast listsw should preferably be taken from the actual physical releases, and this has been reverted before, so I'd say its advisable to wait until you have information from the CD before adding anything significant. 0003c9fe ☎ 07:43, January 24, 2018 (UTC)

About that. It’s ok to use the cast list from the website. Physical CDs often have more detailed cast lists, which is why they are preferred in case of conflicts with the website. But the website is completely acceptable for the right parts of the pipe trick. The really tricky part is that making links requires in-depth knowledge of the story, in fact, of the whole box set to take care of any surprise reveals. Amorkuz ☎ 07:50, January 24, 2018 (UTC)

Ah ok, thanks for that insight I'll revert the one I did on the next story. Another point I wanted to ask is that the infobox claims the story is "Featuring" the Fifth Doctor, however as far as I'm aware this is only as a cameo at the end. Is this enough to justify being listed in Featuring, given that it'd mean he's not in the large majority of the story? 0003c9fe ☎ 07:54, January 24, 2018 (UTC)

This is a bit of a tough one. But I would have equivocated much more, were it a stand-alone story. Since he is a big part of the box set anyways, wouldn't it be splitting hair to try and go beyond appearance/non-appearance here? There is indeed a rule against counting "Next time..." trailers (in any way). It is also important to distinguish cameos. But if he appears at the very end of this story and for the whole next story (I'm guessing here 'cos I'm not checking the pages until I finally listen to it), then this is not a cameo. That's what I think, anyways. Amorkuz ☎ 21:19, January 26, 2018 (UTC)

What's the policy on listing actors who play multiple characters? Should they be separated by slashes or commas? I assume the Big Finish CD cast listings have a standard, but I am unsure as to what that is. 0003c9fe ☎ 06:05, January 27, 2018 (UTC)
