The thing keeping [[ | What would be the best [[Tardis:List of prefixes|prefix]] to use for ''[[Meanwhile in the TARDIS]]?'' The thing keeping [[TV]] from being entirely appropriate is of course the fact that the scenes were not televised, only released on DVD, though presented in a manner that seems to keep them placed in continuity rather than being discounted like deleted scenes or other extraneous material. | ||

::Well, I wholly disagree with that, and am going to delete that prefix, pending more discussion. DWDVD is ''highly'' confusing. It implies anything to do with the DVD. If I saw DWDVD, I would think it might mean a documenary or a commentary or really anything that was on the DVD. We have two sketches, two, that fall into this hypothetical special category. I ''really'' think we can live with calling them just DW. Speaking as a pedant, it's being way, way, ''way'' pedantic to make up a prefix for two sketches that hav ethe same name. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the citation, [[ | ::Well, I wholly disagree with that, and am going to delete that prefix, pending more discussion. DWDVD is ''highly'' confusing.

However, the [[TV]] definition would seem to exclude ''Meanwhile'' because it never aired on television; should something be added to allow for this one special case, or is it best left alone for now?

Now that it has become clearer that Moffat does in fact like writing new, series-linked material for the DVD/Blu-ray releases, we can answer Rob's rhetorical question more definitively.

''Meanwhile'' wasn't a one-off thing, so there is a need to change the definition of what the prefix [[TV]] means. As is clear, all three participants to this conversation agreed that [[TV]] was the most appropriate prefix for these "home video scenes", so the text at both [[T:LOP]] and [[TV]] '''was''' changed to allow for the inclusion of this, for lack of a better term, "extra features narrative". {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}16:17: Sun 06 May 2012 </span> | ||
