:Moreover, this situation is ''very'' different to your typical DWU story, because it's written for ''both'' fandoms. It's a ''Doctor Who'' story that happens to have ''Star Trek'' characters in it. And it's a ''Star Trek'' story that happens to have Rory and Amy and the Eleventh Doctor in it. IDW are not going to insult ''either'' fan base by walking you through the ''basics'' of either universe. We're not going to get, ''in dialogue'', what's necessary for naming the things we see ''in a way that's useful for an encyclopedia''. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">16:06: Tue 28 Feb 2012 </span> | :Moreover, this situation is ''very'' different to your typical DWU story, because it's written for ''both'' fandoms.

==Interwiki template suggestion== | |||
I suggest we tag all our ''Trek''-native articles with a header template containing a suitable ''Trek'' image from the crossover and a bit of text like "This article on a ''[[Star Trek (franchise)|Star Trek]]'' universe subject is written from a [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] [[Tardis:Point of view|point of view]]. For further information on the subject from a ''Star Trek'' perspective, see (Memory Beta link generated from page name)." I think this could really help us keep everything lean and crossover-specific around here and, as an added bonus, it'd automate the necessary interwiki back to Memory Beta. — [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] - '''[[User talk:Rob T Firefly|Δ]][[Special:Contributions/Rob T Firefly|∇]]''' - 03:18, April 2, 2012 (UTC) | |||
