Short stories
Er, I'm just wondering what the procedure is for categorising short stories of various kinds - particularly what prefix to use when referring to short stories published in places like Short Trips (both BBC and Big Finish versions).
The BFA prefix doesn't seem appropriate for the Big Finish version as that appears to specify audio stories only (which these aren't) while using PDA/EDA for the BBC collections implies the short stories are the same kind of thing as a novel (which seems unsatisfactory to me for all sorts of reasons).

- simple answer: we haven't come up with those prefixes yet. IMO, I think the Short Trips stories could have their own category to embrace both the BBC Books and Big Fnish anthologies. --***Stardizzy*** 15:10, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- How complex is the procedure to decide on a new prefix? It would make more sense to come up with a new prefix now (I would favour DWST, but that's by-the-by) than to have to go back and laboriously change every instance of a referenced Short Trip at a future point (at least one Short Trip prose story is referred to on the wiki with a BFA prefix already).
