Politely, your repeated changes are unhelpful and incorrect. [[Template:Infobox Story/doc/novel]] makes it very clear that the featuring field is being used properly as is; [[T:PREFIX]] explicitly says that prefixes are for "''[giving a] source'' for a statement of fact in an article" [emphasis mine], not simply referring to an episode or book. Et al (or etc) is common usage on this wiki in reference to multiple relevant sources ([[Programmer|e.g.]]), and there's even a forum thread discussing whether to use et al vs etc in general that we can't currently access due to forum issues. Were you to replace et al with etc, that's understandable, given the current debate, but there's simply no justification for removing it all together. At best then we can quibble over how to interpret the line about Clara not dying, but it seems far more likely to refer to a timeline in which she left normal constraints of linear time and thus ''failed to die'' than one where she simply died at a later date. None of this is correct (except very very possibly the Clara point, but that's deeply unlikely), none of it is helpful, and in some instances there is clear policy against the changes you are trying to make.

== The Master's early life ==
Hey! Just saw that you created a sandbox you titled "The Master's early life", but which you wrote as though it concerned the Master's first incarnation (…sort of; you go as far as his leaving Gallifrey despite it being often suggested he regenerated a bunch of times before he turned Renegade!). Obviously your sandboxes are your own, but would you mind terribly calling it something else, like "First Master" or "The Master's first incarnation"? As there is currently a proposal at [[Talk:The Master]] for a [[The Master's early life]] page in the main namespace which would have a very different setup and purview, being instead about the various accounts of the Master's ''lives,'' plural, prior to Delgado.
