I've noticed a bit of a trend for useless wikiing in a few articles - for example, the article on Gallifreyans has redlinks to articles on bows and arrows and spears. This doesn't seem to me to be specifically Dr Who-based content (nor particularly interesting to either read or write).

In a similar way, I mentioned the Bible and the Book of Revelation in an article a while back and both references were later wikified, despite the fact they have no specific Dr Who significance. I could understand linking them to Wikipedia, but not here.

Obviously where there is specific Who-based information which shouldn't go in a general-interest wiki (for example, the series' version of Shakespeare, or the British Prime Minister) we should have an article. I'm just wondering if there's an established policy on where to draw the line in this kind of situation? --Gai-jin 14:39, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
