Atre the discontinuity sections actually here for discontinuity, or an excuse to attack everything possible in the new series. Looks like the latter to me, so I've deleted a couple. Please keep it sensible. I could just as easily attack everything possible in the classic series - including the suspension of belief that the unonvincing minatures and rubbishy creatures don't actually look anything close to being real.

If you have issues with particular pieces or rebuttals of particular issues raised then correction/response/removal of those bits is one thing. Complete removal of a valid section of an article borders in my mind on vandalism. I've restored the sections for The Stolen Earth and Journey's End as they were. But it might be interesting to have a discussion on the validity of having Discontinuity sections and actually consider if they make sense in this wiki. --Raukodraug 21:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Having fake-looking, unconvincing props or monsters isn't exactly the same as continuity errors or plot holes though. 24.6.46.177 02:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

the new The Howling section in Forums can serve as the place to talk about continuity errors. personally I have gotten sick of the way the Discontinuity section gets used, to the point where I won't go to articles for news stories except on very rare occasions. --Stardizzy2 02:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Archivist's notes

This was the start of the move which had us pulling the discontinuity sections from story pages, ultimately to be placed at forum:Discontinuity index. At this point, in 2009, discontinuity sections were still a part of the story pages, which might be confusing to some readers in the future.
