My main concern as I’ve said is the restriction of editing to the timelines. I just think the emphasis on the relationship between the main page and the timelines should greatly reduced. Like there’s no rules saying they need to match, so if someone makes an edit, that shouldn’t be changed with reasoning that it causes issues with the layout of the main article.

I disagree, to an extend. From experience on other wikis, and from reading biographies of real world people, biographies are indeed meant to be read chronologically to get a better understanding of how a person was changed by events and evolved as a person. Recently, an editor added the events of ''The Wolves of Winter'' to the bottom of the Twelfth Doctor's "Final adventures" subsection, even though research collected on the theory forums puts it before ''The Eaters of Light''. Now yes, theorizing is strictly taboo on the main pages due to the diversity on what people can put forth, but entries on biographies are guess work at best without a source of information to look at, which the theory forums provide as an official leeway on the "No Theories Agreement", and it is best to have an entry placed based on a concepted timeline backed by facts, however small, than a random guess completely.[[User:BananaClownMan|BananaClownMan]] [[User talk:BananaClownMan|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:44, April 5, 2020 (UTC) | |||
