Well I suppose we can just talk about the background of the encounter or appearance. For example, (here's a spoiler so be warned) there's a mission where the Vespiform have invaded Sardicktown which happens to be located on the planet Ember.

See it has no mention of the player's involvement apart from the background of the mission. Why no mention of player I don't understand as it isn't breaking the fourth wall but this I suppose is as close to how it could work. --[[User:Victory93|Victory93]] <sup>[[User talk:Victory93|talk to me]]</sup> 03:08, March 5, 2012 (UTC) | See it has no mention of the player's involvement apart from the background of the mission.

:The companion you play int he game is indeed meant to be there, but it is basically up to you to decide it's name, gender, and race. So I created [[Companion (Worlds in Time)]], with the photo of the character in the shadows befor you choose his features.

::::: Lemme put it this way, what if the "companion" had looked like [[:File:Companion.jpg|this the hole game]] instead of just first off? Well, then It would be exactly the same. No difference in plot occurs through the changes the player makes in the game. All the player can change is what he looks like and (in a very limited way) what order he takes. (I.e. you CAN go and do [[New Earth]] or the clockwork planet before finishing Earth, but it doesn't affect either narrative.

::::: As [[Douglas Adams]] once said, "And another thing..." I notice we thoughtlessly cover [[ | ::::: As [[Douglas Adams]] once said, "And another thing..." I notice we thoughtlessly cover [[GAME]]: ''[[Attack of the Graske (video game)|Attack of the Graske]]'', despite it being '''WORSE''' at what you guys claim then this is. Now, Czech argues that the "companion" in the game is just another way of saying "you," "you're" helping the Doctor. I don't see it that way. He's not talking to "you," he's talking to "you're character." This is not the case of ''Attach...'', in that, he is literally telling you that YOU'RE helping him. From your couch, through your TV. No character, no cover-up, just "YOU need to help me... remote control..." So, why is ''Graske'' episode not up to question but ''WIT'' is? I digress.

:Don't mistake "having a page" for "what we cover". We're on a multi-year saga to define the scope of the wiki. As with the issues expressed at [[Forum:BBV and canon policy]]. we start from a position where the wiki wasn't policed and was covering everything that ''vaguely'' had an association with the DWU to firming up the borders a bit. [[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]], [[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revanvolatrelundar]] and I have been trying to actively prune the wiki for a while now, and we've deleted scores of articles, while at the same time redacting hundreds more. It's a ''process'', so you can't use the argument "You've got somethign on ''Attack of the Graske'' so that means you must have something on ''Worlds in Time'' | :Don't mistake "having a page" for "what we cover".
