Now, so far as I can tell, only one prelude to a Virgin New Adventure story, Prelude Human Nature actually has a page, but while reorganising the grouping of Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart - List of Appearances page, there's two stories, "Prelude White Darkness" and "Prelude: Transit", currently under "Other Prose Stories" that I don't quite know what to call them, and I'm guessing that the series doesn't actually have a page. Should there be one? -- Tybort (talk page) 15:33, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Are you asking about sorting them into an actual category or just for article purposes?
- In regard to categories, I'd say Category:Virgin New Adventure preludes and make it a sub-cat of Category:DWM prose stories.
- As for articles, I'm not really sure. It could be under its own 'Virgin New Adventures preludes' or under 'DWM short stories'. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:27, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Both would be nice, but what I meant was for article purposes. -- Tybort (talk page) 16:36, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Well, technically, the category should be category:NA preludes, just to fit in with the general naming convention in the magazine category tree. But, yeah, they should definitely get their own category. I don't think there should be an actual page like Virgin New Adventures preludes, however. Instead, the table at Virgin New Adventures should merely be expanded to include columns for "Prelude?" (filled in with an X, or yes, when one exists, with that yes linked to the article about the prelude) and another column for "DWM", filled in with just the issue number.
- It's not really a series, per se. There's not much you could write about it. It's sufficient, in my mind, just to make the Virgin New Adventures page more complete.

- I've actually been working on preparations for those pages.. as you've probably noticed, I've been posting images from each short story. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 21:25, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
