:::: Maybe this would be a reasonable compromise: this story is very definitively wedged between the last released and the first unreleased stories of 9D. So the infobox of '''this''' story puts her in between as it was before I erased it. However, the proper comic stories do not point to this one. I know this is not what we do with television stories, but minisodes can reasonably be called television stories and they are broadcast in the same way. This one is not a comic story and is not published in an issue of Titan. So I would feel very uneasy giving it a full-scale Titan comic story status. Actually, upon a closer observation, a similar duality is presented in the Big Finish [[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]] range: the last book, ''[[Short Trips: Re:Collections]]'' points to the first CD, ''[[Short Trips: Volume 1]]'', which '''does not''' point back. Moreover, when we go down to the story level, then no succession links exist between the book stories and the audio stories: ''[[Blessed Are the Peacemakers (short story)|Blessed Are the Peacemakers]]'' is the last book story that has "none" as the next one. ''[[Rise and Fall (audio story)|Rise and Fall]]'' is the first audio story and has "none" as the previous one.

:::: So how about making links from the prose story to the comic ones but not back? And of course, this story has no place in the 9D template for obvious reasons. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:15, January 3, 2017 (UTC)
