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. | What would be the best [[Tardis:List of prefixes|prefix]] to use for ''[[Meanwhile in the TARDIS (TV story)|Meanwhile in the TARDIS]]?''

Currently all our BBC DVD-related prefixes are for out-of-universe material such as [[DCOM]], while our in-universe direct-to-video prefixes apply to non-BBC licencees like [[BBV Productions|BBV]] and RP. Should we perhaps come up with a new prefix for this sort of thing, or extend [[TV]] to include it?

::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, [[TV]]: ''[[Meanwhile in the TARDIS]]''. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}'''03:34:54 Sat '''11 Jun 2011 </span> | ::Well, I wholly disagree with that, and am going to delete that prefix, pending more discussion.
