::::: I'd argue that a number of ''[[The Daft Dimension]]'' stories could fit into the timeline.

Yeah, I can think of a few other examples. You could enclose one of those "hidden messages", further clarifying that the story you've placed can fit into continuity. <nowiki><!--This story can fit into chronology due to reason [xyz]--></nowiki>. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><tt>'''Epsilon'''</tt></span>]]''' '''[[User talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 13:50, November 20, 2020 (UTC) | Yeah, I can think of a few other examples.

== Parody stories: I confusing double-standard == | |||
My recent attempts to add stories from things like ''[[The Daft Dimension]]'' and ''[[Doctor Whoah!]]'' have been rebutted at every turn on the grounds that "parody stories deliberately fall out of continuity and therefore don't count". | |||
Putting aside the fact, for a moment, that that's a very pick-and-choose way of doing things (the whole point of these timelines is that they are entirely theoretical, so what point is there in deeming some invalid stories as "more invalid than others"), I must also point out that the rule has not even been that well enforced. In the Tenth Doctor's timeline, for example, we have stories like ''[[The Invasion of Bash Street (comic story)|The Invasion of Bash Street]]'' and the ''[[Comic Relief 2007 (TV story)|Comic Relief 2007]]'' skit, even though both stories are in the [[Category:Parodies and pastiches|parodies and pastiches]] category. | |||
As I've established, I'm personally against the practice of omitting parodies to begin with, but if we are going to omit them anyway, we should really try to be consistent. [[User:WaltK|WaltK]] [[User talk:WaltK|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:33, November 24, 2020 (UTC) | |||
