:::(BTW, the reason that canon policy doesn't show up is because the link color is the same color as the header color. If you put something blue on something blue it becomes invisible. I've fixed that, and I've stopped the internal headers from interfering with normal editing of this section.) {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">15:32: Thu 17 May 2012 </span> | :::(BTW, the reason that canon policy doesn't show up is because the link color is the same color as the header color.

:::::I have seen this question of CzechOut's of "is ''The Infinity Doctors'' canon" as one of two things, it's either an extremely isolated and unique question, so much so it perplexes me as to why it's asked given the scope of what we cover and the vagueness of other texts. | |||
:::::Or it's something which '''is''' a worthy of isolating ''because'' it's not the only example of questions like it and therefore needs highlighting or isolating. | |||
:::::CzechOut your question about the boilerplate's placement highlights the issue of having it at all and having to exclude information from ''The Infinity Doctors'' at all in articles. | |||
:::::I don't believe it's a massive hijack, but as I've said deciding that this novel is not part of the DWU ''is'' a policy changing decision and that any decision we make does leave us open for further issues in the future. | |||
:::::However, I am also willing to modify my proposal, because I honestly don't think it's worth continuing as I don't believe any further discussion will be able to change CzechOut's mind on this matter (as much as it pains me to do so). | |||
:::::If CzechOut is set in his mind that it must be in a boilerplate, then I propose hiding it entirely. If you want it removed then so be it. Put it within a show/hide frame work that the reader can un-hide at their discretion. Having it within a boilerplate as is illustrated here merely highlights its status and introduces further disharmony into the page's structure. | |||
:::::I'm using the Navbox framework as illustration only because I can't be arsed creating something just to illustrate this idea. | |||

:::::So we treat information from ''The Infinity Doctors'' in a similar way to other wikis and forums do with spoiler information; hide it. If the reader wants a bit more extra information that some think shouldn't be within the main text, then they can look for themselves. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 16:00, May 18, 2012 (UTC) | |||
