What would be the best prefix to use for Meanwhile in the TARDIS? The thing keeping DW from being entirely appropriate is of course the fact that the scenes were not televised, only released on DVD, though presented in a manner that seems to keep them placed in continuity rather than being discounted like deleted scenes or other extraneous material.

Currently all our BBC DVD-related prefixes are for out-of-universe material such as DCOM, while our in-universe direct-to-video prefixes apply to non-BBC licencees like BBV and RP. Should we perhaps come up with a new prefix for this sort of thing, or extend DW to include it? Rob T Firefly 21:57, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I think something like DW-DVD would work.Zodisgod 22:29, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Yep, DWDVD (without the hyphen) is probably good. We'd just need to make sure it's stated clearly on the page that it's for these official bits and not for things like deleted scenes or other stuff. --Tangerineduel / talk 15:04, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I've started it up and added it to Tardis:List of prefixes. Rob T Firefly 16:39, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I wholly disagree with that, and am going to delete that prefix, pending more discussion. DWDVD is highly confusing. It implies anything to do with the DVD. If I saw DWDVD, I would think it might mean a documenary or a commentary or really anything that was on the DVD. We have two sketches, two, that fall into this hypothetical special category. I really think we can live with calling them just DW. Speaking as a pedant, it's being way, way, way pedantic to make up a prefix for two sketches that hav ethe same name. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the citation, DW: Meanwhile in the TARDIS.
