Forum:The Shared Universe Project - A new page proposal for the Timey-Wimey Detector
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Introduction
So this is a little project I've been working on for the last two weeks, based on an idea that's been knocking about in my cranium for months, if not longer.
This proposal is for a new section of the timey-wimey detector in which we catalogue every series or franchise that would logically exist in a shared universe with Doctor Who.
You can head on over to my sandbox draft to get the full picture.
The rules I've set out are by no means final, as there are surely other things to consider. I'm still on the fence as to whether we should go ahead and allow unlicensed crossovers (as in, unlicensed DWU cameos in other works, and vice versa). I'm also considering if there is maybe a better way to cover lateral crossovers that are lateral crossovers of multiple other series on the list (the unofficial British soap and serial drama shared universe means that several series would have to be listed twice under EastEnders and Coronation Street respectively).
I look forward to hearing your thoughts! WaltK ☎ 22:19, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

I really like that idea, and it would be lots of fun to do, albeit possibly mildly infeasible the further out you get. No thoughts on ways to implement multiple lateral crossovers, or times when a lateral crossover has Crossovers with other lateral crossovers and/or Doctor Who.

- Since this isn't really a timeline (correct me if I'm wrong), could I propose that this not be part of Theory:Timey-wimey detector, but instead constitute a third section on Theory:Index, after Theory:Time-wimey detector and Theory:Discontinuity Index? That way the topic would have a dedicated "Index" page, which can then branch out from there as required. Potentially providing a solution for Aquana's as well. Danochy ☎ 06:46, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
