::: Be that as it may, the [[T:SPOIL]] concerns have just evaporated from around another major piece of evidence, pointing in a very direction from the website. I'm talking, of course, about ''[[Adventures in Lockdown]]'', which freely mixes BBC website stories with novelisations of ''Lockdown!'' webcasts — ''and'' also throws in a prose version of [[WC]]: ''[[Message from the Doctor (webcast)|Message from the Doctor]]'' for good measure! I honestly can think of few stronger arguments for keeping it all on one page in ''some'' fashion. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 14:01, November 5, 2020 (UTC) | ::: Be that as it may, the [[T:SPOIL]] concerns have just evaporated from around another major piece of evidence, pointing in a very direction from the website.

::::At this point this is just a continuation of [[Thread:273268]], which was closed due to length and no admin has given the go ahead for re-opening discussion. My suggestion is that we shelve the discussion for now (as we're potentially in violation of some policy or another by having this discussion), wait until we're back on the forums, and take the temperature of the admin team for reopening the discussion. While I hope given the distance from the original subject and time to cool off we might be more productive and not need 500 comments, the risk of making no real headway due to how inherently slapdash the whole affair has been is still a very real possibility.

:::I'm not necessarily opposed to a further cooling-off period, but, er, Najawin, I ''am'' in fact an admin, these days. My participation in this conversation should be understood as a tacit acknowledgement that '''as the thread closed ''itself'' for technical reasons instead of anybody actually making an active decision to close it, and since this is an issue that is of immediate importance to our coverage of an ongoing part current DWU media, it was in fact okay for us to take these concerns here and continue discussing them'''. | |||
:::Also, generally, while the Forums remain incapacitated, talk pages ''can'' and ''should'' serve as the next best thing to discuss ''urgent'' issues with specific pages and groups of pages. They're not the place to hold a proper inclusion debate or policy-changing threads, but things like the conversation here or at [[Talk:Emperor of the Restoration]], which, under normal circumstances, could and should have been Threads, are perfectly fair to bring to talk pages. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:03, November 5, 2020 (UTC) | |||
