:A philosophical question for you -- would you support the idea of the wiki differentiating between "negatated" or "aborted timelines" and "alternate timelines"? I personally feel like there's just a distinct difference between a timeline that was the way the universe was, before time was changed, versus a properly alternate timeline like we see in (eg) ''[[Inferno (TV story)|Inferno]]'' or ''[[Warlords of Utopia (novel)|Warlords of Utopia]]'', and I'd be curious to see if you agree, since you've quite obviously spent a lot more time than me thinking about the Whoniverse's various timeline setups! – [[User:NateBumber|N8]] [[User_talk:NateBumber|☎]] 02:48, March 11, 2018 (UTC) | :A philosophical question for you -- would you support the idea of the wiki differentiating between "negatated" or "aborted timelines" and "alternate timelines"?

::We'd need more consensus to do anything with that and frankly I've never seen that episode or read that book so I don't really know what you're talking about there. I've just always loved time travel and time travel shows and shows with alternate futures or where the main character has to change the past/future to save the world. Part of the reason I loved ''Heroes'' and ''Back to the Future'' so much!!!--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] [[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:41, March 11, 2018 (UTC) | ::We'd need more consensus to do anything with that and frankly I've never seen that episode or read that book so I don't really know what you're talking about there.

:::I think we might need a forum thread to determine when an alternate character gets his/her own page and when an alternate character merely gets a section of the existing character's page. There should probably be some kind of standard guidelines we can use instead of the current inconsistencies.
