::: This is my personal favourite proposal of this bunch. One of the main things I read the wiki for is to refresh my memory on what happened in the previous part of a serialised story or the previous installment of a continuous series if it has been a while since I experienced it. For this purpose (recapping a story you've already experienced), the summaries on this wiki are generally too long to be properly helpful. The length of summary we have is ''extremely'' important to have and should absolutely be kept around as they are very valuable resources for people who wish to check more minor plot beats or who want to experience a story that they don't otherwise have access to/the desire to experience fully. They are essential for creating and maintaing a full archive of ''Doctor Who'' and its related media. However, shorter summaries also have a lot of merrit for people who just need a rough refresher on the general plot beats and this, to me, seems like the most ideal way to integrate both of length.

::::I wasn't a fan of hiding the plot in a subpage in the last discussion, and haven't changed. I don't support this proposal. | |||
::::I sympathise with the issue of our lack of plot descriptions. Hiding them away on a subpage will I think just compound the problem to an 'out of sight out of mind' situation. It might make the main pages ''look'' more finished, but it's going to harm explorability of the wiki for people, it'll add an extra link to click for people to explore the in-universe elements. | |||
::::I agree with [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]], I do think people will treat it as secondary content. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 13:21, 18 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
