Okay, I've noticed something odd that seems to have been overlooked for years. Although some early BFs like Storm Warning have plot summaries, September 2012's Gods and Monsters is (at least in the main range) the last audio to even have a "to be added" plot section. And even that one was only added nearly a year after the fact in June 2013 in this diff!

Why is this? I'd wager because {{audio story/preload}} does not include the section. Tardis:Format for audio stories requires it, but the preload template never had a plot section from the start. Of course, as we treat all media equally, there is absolutely no reason to have plot summaries in other media but not audios.

Because of this, no audio stories from the past year even have that blank section to encourage users to fill them. I'm just about to add plot sections to all of them, but could I request that an admin add such a section to {{audio story/preload}}? Thanks.
