I personally agree that the prequels should be considered as a part of the ongoing narrative of a series, and that, really, they should just be in the normal broadcast order in the navigational section of the infoboxes. I'm not quite sure why Tardisodes and prequels have been ignored by the main "broadcast order" thing.

I know there's been an effort to create a tertiary navigational track that puts prequels in order that they were produced — or something — but this isn't very useful, it seems to me. I don't want to know when Tardisode 3 is in relation to Tardisode 4. That's obvious. I want to know where Tardisode 3 is in relation to School Reunion.

I suppose that people might have gotten hung up on the word "broadcast" and said, "Well Last Night was never broadcast." Since Moffat has taken over, "broadcast" means nothing anymore. Perhaps we should think about changing our main point of navigation to "intended viewing order". That would seem to solve a good many "nomenclature fights", and present the navigation in the way of greatest utility to our casual readers.
