:Urrggghh, after two hours of searching, I came across this. It's not what I was (barely) remembering, but it does involve two admins who are ok with the OOU perspective in a Continuity section. I'm having trouble linking to the diff, so you would have to search for [[User:Revanvolatrelundar]]'s edit of [[The Sorcerer's Apprentice (novel)]] on August 27, 2012. And then [[User:Tangerineduel]] explained to [[User:Cyruptsaram]] what was wrong with his/her original edit at [[User talk:Cyruptsaram#Continuity and brackets]]. Instead of re-writing the information to be IU, they merely corrected the format of the OOU information.

:: I would also like to thank [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] for remembering and being able to find those old discussions. I feel I should also add that [[Tardis:Format for novels]] and [[Tardis:Format for comic stories]] explicitly state that a reference to a story "does not need to be in brackets". This was already the policy during the discussion dug out by Shambala108. Whether that signals OOU is okay or simply allows a more liberal format for references in an otherwise IU format, it is hard to say. I do agree with Shambala108 that this is best discussed at Panopticon since allowing unrestricted OOU in "Continuity" (rather than just such unbracketed references) is likely to open a serious can of worms, especially in the absence of any other guidance, as on [[Tardis:Format for novels]].
