Talk:Pting (The Tsuranga Conundrum): Difference between revisions
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
→Two separate pages

:::::: It is completely routine to separate pages for species and characters. They live in different parts of the category tree. As SOTO already explained, they have different focus. There is quite a lot of personalised information about this Pting: it killed [[Astos]], it encountered the Doctor, it ate the sonic screwdriver. That this info is not on the page is regrettable as this is what the biography is all about. And this information would not be appropriate (or at least severely curtailed) on the species page. And, as already mentioned, there is plenty of information about the species that would not be appropriate on the character page. I agree with SOTO that the topic could be covered without the second page. But this case is much better suited for two pages, which would contain almost disjoint information in this case. Finally, think of future proofing. When another Pting appears, and it inevitably will, in the comics most probably, its info would also be put on the species page? And then another? That's not a very good plan for the future.
