::All that said, I hope we ''can'' come to a conclusion in this thread regarding terminology. You seem to be suggesting four terms, "proposed", "unproduced", "unreleased", and something else for ''The Dark Dimension''. I worry that this may be too much proliferation – having to remember precisely which stage each story ended in is rather more demanding on editors than just "did it come out or not?" – but in principle there's nothing wrong with extra precision. What would you suggest we use for ''The Dark Dimension'', if you think the other words are inappropriate? – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 16:27, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

:::Radical though it may be to abandon "unproduced" altogether, I wonder if we might not start using "''uncompleted''" stories for stories that stopped at any stage of production short of a completed final product ready for release, and "''unreleased''" for the ''Absent Friends''s of the world.
