Mr Armitage is a bit tricky, because he only recurs for two episode total, in a recurring role (certainly not a guest in the sense that the Inspector is), but dies in the second. Heck, same with Coach Dawson. What do you think?{{User:SOTO/sig}} 21:49, October 23, 2016 (UTC) | Mr Armitage is a bit tricky, because he only recurs for two episode total, in a recurring role (certainly not a guest in the sense that the Inspector is), but dies in the second.

:That is a valid point. Good idea: we'll wait it out.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 21:55, October 23, 2016 (UTC) | :That is a valid point. Good idea: we'll wait it out.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 21:55, October 23, 2016 (UTC) | ||

I'm surprised I have to write the same message again. Look [[#Redundancy|above]] for the longer message I left last time on this very topic. | |||
I'm not sure you understand what recursion really means. To use the same example as I did before, a writer might be a [[:category:Doctor Who novelisation writers|Doctor Who novelisation writer]] but also a [[:category:Doctor Who novelists|Doctor Who novelist]] in general, if they have written a novel which is not a novelisation. Just because one category is within another, does ''not'' mean you can't add both to one page, if that actually applies. | |||
In this specific case, multiple stories take place at Coal Hill School, as well as in Shoreditch in general. Even ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]'' applies here. Takes place in Coal Hill School. Also takes place at [[76 Totter's Lane]], which is very much not Coal Hill School. The latest episode, ''[[Nightvisiting (TV story)|Nightvisiting]]'', barely takes place at Coal Hill at all. To just place the Coal Hill category there would be downright ''wrong''. | |||
And to reiterate, it causes absolutely no problems at all to have a page in both a parent and a child category. [[T:RECURSION]] is about the order and placement of categories themselves, something which ''does'' have a large impact on running bots. If the bot finds the same page twice, it merely skips it the second time.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 02:25, October 30, 2016 (UTC) | |||
