So I obviously love Bongo's proposal, but I do worry that even with the code cut down massively it might have the same "issue(s)" [[User talk:Bongolium500#Some of your recent changes and proposals|it ran into before]] (unless the template-ification gets around this completely). As for [[T:BOLD]], it's obviously nowhere near comprehensive enough to solve all the problems mentioned. Just the plot summary issue alone can't be solved by this. :> <br> | So I obviously love Bongo's proposal, but I do worry that even with the code cut down massively it might have the same "issue(s)" [[User talk:Bongolium500#Some of your recent changes and proposals|it ran into before]] (unless the template-ification gets around this completely).

The one part where I can see prioritizing TV stories "over" EU stories in the shorter summaries on the large pages is when you delineate the starting and ending periods for the section. EG, with the Twelfth Doctor could discuss how his adventures with Bill took place between Smile and Extremis, even though this isn't technically true. But I think as to the few paragraphs we use to describe the situation before linking to the larger article, we should reference all media. <br> | The one part where I can see prioritizing TV stories "over" EU stories in the shorter summaries on the large pages is when you delineate the starting and ending periods for the section. EG, with the Twelfth Doctor could discuss how his adventures with Bill took place between Smile and Extremis, even though this isn't technically true. But I think as to the few paragraphs we use to describe the situation before linking to the larger article, we should reference all incidents from all media. But, say, the entire "Temporal Crisis" section on [[Twelfth Doctor]] could be summarized with a sentence. I do think it should be mentioned though. <br> | ||
Now that I think about it, what you're proposing is a relatively radical change for how casual users will interact with some of our more prominent articles. That's not a bad thing, but it is something that I think we should get community feedback for. Perhaps (God help you) this is something you might want to make a mock up of and float as an idea on reddit or twitter and ask people for feedback, as well as asking their friends and family, to compare and contrast, say, the ease of use and understanding of, say, [[Tenth Doctor]] vs the Subpaged and Bolded [[Tenth Doctor]].
