Since this is a wiki, I have to assume this would be quite easy; there is a page on the wiki for every single issue of doctor who magazine. The page lists all of the content within that issue. However, this could still be more organised. For example, if someone wanted to look up a particular DWM feature or review, they could search for that, or look up the subject of the review and find out which issue of DWM it was reviewed in. Perhaps an entirely new wiki could be made for reference of DWM features, reviews and comic strips so that single features can be looked up easily.

Well, there is a DWM comic strips page already. Are you talking about individual articles for features; reviews; interviews; free gifts (like the DWA page) - which might include CDs whether they be BFA, music, or interviews; pin-ups; fact files; gag comics (besides Doctor Who?); prose stories (besides Brief Encounters); or something else? If you wanted something more ambitious like what the Doctor Who (DVD) Special Features Index has with its categories, the Doctor Who Collectors Wiki might be a better fit. ––Nyktimos 02:26, April 18, 2011 (UTC)
I agree with the original poster. Ultimately, there really should be at least an index page for the major continuous articles in DWM. It should be possible to go to an article about the Time Team, for instance. Or to one that tells you which issue had an in-depth feature in which television story. Or whatever. There are a lot of regular features in DWM, and we're not really giving any sort of organised coverage of them. I disagree that we should just be fobbing off this sort of detailed coverage onto the Collectors' Wiki. If we're going to cover DWM, then let's do it properly.
