:[[User:Najawin]] would have been correct as of just a few weeks ago that the policy-as-written conflicted with the practice across the Wiki of creating pages for in-universe counterparts of various individuals — not that it started with [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]]'s more recent efforts; we've had [[Tom Baker (TV Action!)]] for a very long time. | :[[User:Najawin]] would have been correct as of just a few weeks ago that the policy-as-written conflicted with the practice across the Wiki of creating pages for in-universe counterparts of various individuals — not that it started with [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]]'s more recent efforts; we've had [[Tom Baker (TV Action!)]] for a very long time. | ||
:However, [[User:Shambala108]]'s helpful comments at [[Talk:Hugh Grant]] spelled out the "common practice" (in the sense of "unwritten policy") around the ''naming'' of in-universe counterparts to BTS personalities. This carried an implicit endorsement of the existence of such, and this is doubly the case since Shambala's words on that talk page have been incorporated in the "Primary topics" section of the actual [[T:DAB]] policy page. | :However, [[User:Shambala108]]'s helpful comments at [[Talk:Hugh Grant]] spelled out the "common practice" (in the sense of "unwritten policy") around the ''naming'' of in-universe counterparts to BTS personalities.

:P.S.: [[User:SOTO]]'s complaint about Hurt only being ''mentioned'' in ''[[Greeks Bearing Gifts (TV story)|Greeks Bearing Gifts]]'' does however hold up; we're not really supposed to dab by mention. Any thoughts on an alternative dab term? "(actor)" might be confusing; how do we feel about "(N-Space)"?
