<!--this | Does Billie Piper and Matt Smith expressing some willingness to return at some point really count as a rumour that they will be involved in series 14?

:Let me rephrase; the points in the Rumours section (which I cannot describe here) do not belong there any more than Carole Ann Ford saying that she would "jump at the chance" to play Susan again would have belonged in the Rumours section of series 12. The "rumours" do not state that the people in question will be returning but that they would be willing to.

::What kind of sense does it make to block spoilers on a talk page for an article that allows spoilers? If we can't talk about a page on its talk page, we'd might as well not have one at all! Where does [[T:SPOIL]] require anything like this? – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 16:18, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::: Not entirely sure, but disallowing spoilers on the talk page for a spoilery page is '''1000%''' counterproductive, and regardless of whatever policy ''may or may not exist'' — and if it isn't a policy then it shouldn't be exclusively binding, as per [[T:LOCAL RULES]] — an exception ''must'' be made for this talk page under the very obvious circumstances. Otherwise, the only discussion that can be had is through edit summaries, which can lead to [[Tardis:Edit wars are good for absolutely nothing|edit wars]] which creates a million ''more'' issues than saying that Scottish-Rwandan actor's name on this talk page. <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"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 16:28, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::: Well, I've gone ahead and moved this talk page to the "Howling:" namespace so we can, yknow, actually talk about the page. Restoring the comment that was removed for spoilers. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 16:35, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||

[[User:120.20.172.45|User 120.20.172.45]], you just mentioned the exact quote itself. He says he’s already written “some” of them. As in more than one. Back when RTD was first announced in late 2021, he was announced as heading “the 60th anniversary celebrations and series beyond”. Now back then it was assumed that there was only 1 special, so it was assumed that “some of the episodes” meant that one special and a few of the Series 14 episodes. Now that it has been revealed that there are three 60th anniversary specials, it is obvious that “some of the episodes” combined with the fact that RTD is heading the 60th anniversary, means that RTD wrote all 3 60th anniversary specials. It is as simple as that. —[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:34, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
: For the record, you cannot answer questions without spoilers that can only be answered with spoilers. So the admining team just have to live with it for cases such as this one. Sorry if that sounded harsh, but I have after all been on this Wiki quite some time, so have a lot of other users who quite frequently edit these pages, and this rule is quite the range of highly pathetic. Nobody on God’s green Earth takes spoilers ''this'' seriously. I can speak for several people when I say that the spoiler policy is taken ''way'' too far. There are cases for spoilers to be disallowed in several places for sure, but take the casting news for S14 going forward. An entire ''year'', plus some, we can’t even make a single mention of anything regarding the future, outside of S14’s page. This Wiki will have to seriously rethink a few of the rules for the foreseeable future. Otherwise this Wiki won’t be able to live. Best regards to you. —[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:02, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::Care to add that as a thread for [[User:Najawin/Sandbox 5|the list]] Danniesen? [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::Done. —[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:59, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::: @[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] just wanna say I completely agree with you about the spoiler policies, and that I can safely say that a lot of edtors I've spoken to are all getting very sick of the spoiler policies... <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"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 21:16, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
As far as the actual discussion goes, I think it's pretty clearly insinuated by the sources and, well, ''all'' of the discussion surrounding the specials that RTD is writing them. ''But'', I would agree that it's not explicitly stated. So I could see some sort of compromise here, like a <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tag after listing him for all three specials.

: @[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] Your entire argument is "assumed" and "obvious". Where does the source ''explicitly'' state that he's written all three? (Glad we agree on the ridiculousness of this "no spoilers" shit, though. I agree with [[User:Najawin|Najawin]]'s comment above, in that it needs to be tagged. [[Special:Contributions/122.199.43.25|122.199.43.25]]<sup>[[User talk:122.199.43.25#top|talk to me]]</sup> 23:30, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::To clarify, I would support a tag compromise, I don't think it ''needs'' to be tagged. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:32, 14 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::You purposely misread what I said. No, my entire argument is not “assumed”. It is, however, “obvious”. —[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:44, 15 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::::To clarify, there does not need to be the exact words “I wrote ''all three''" as long as you can apply logic to what meaning, whatever is written down, has in given circumstances. ——[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:06, 15 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
Hey now, [[T:FAITH]]. This blatant misreading of what you said wasn't necessarily on purpose. :> [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:09, 15 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:Glad you mentioned [[T:FAITH]]. That is another one of the rules I’m getting a little sick of. Not necessarily for this discussion, but it has been an issue in the past with obvious troublemakers. ——[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::That one's actually derived from a FANDOM rule. No real changing it. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 06:27, 15 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::Just to note, while I'm not against the most recent edit, it's not ''at all'' clear to me that there was consensus to make it. I proposed it as a compromise and the IP user insisted that it was necessary (and, indeed, mischaracterized me as saying it was necessary). [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 23:23, 20 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::: Indeed it hasn’t been agreed upon. And this constant craving for this IP User for that one page to be exactly that way, without any interest in actually being an editor on here, this being shown by IP User not willing to engage in any editing except for that one single detail, and twice misreading replies on ''this'' page, really is telling a lot. —[[User:Danniesen|Danniesen]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 09:51, 21 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
