I'm not proposing the deletion of [[NOTDWU]], but its redirection towards [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]]. Several articles use the term several times, so there's a stylistic need to be able to switch to an abbreviation, and for it to be understood without confusion. Leaving to one side the applicability of the "hardcore" argument, I still don't really understand why we need a prefix for ''Unbound'' at all, since our canon policy clearly states we can't cite non-canon material in in-universe articles, anyway.

::::On the articles they are cited they're treated as a look into a parallel universe / an alternate universe, whether this is correct or not is another issue (I would tend so say no that information should go on a dedicated page for example the Brigadier from ''[[Sympathy for the Devil]]'' and ''[[Masters of War]]'' should have his own article rather than on the Brig's main article, the same should probably go for the other 'alternate Brigadiers' on that article page, though to counter my own argument there is something to be said for keeping all this info on one page). | ::::On the articles they are cited they're treated as a look into a parallel universe / an alternate universe, whether this is correct or not is another issue (I would tend so say no that information should go on a dedicated page for example the Brigadier from ''[[Sympathy for the Devil]]'' and ''[[Masters of War]]'' should have his own article rather than on the Brig's main article, the same should probably go for the other 'alternate Brigadiers' on that article page, though to counter my own argument there is something to be said for keeping all this info on one page). | ||
::::The prefix is though still somewhat useful when linking within continuity sections and see also sections. | ::::The prefix is though still somewhat useful when linking within continuity sections and see also sections. | ||
::::My mistake, acronym. I don't have any issues with changing DWU to redirect to Doctor Who universe and changing the all current links to BFDWU. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 15:36, May 14, 2010 (UTC) | ::::My mistake, acronym.
