::Okay, look, this has become about a larger issue, is everyone fine with a forum thread addressing it? There's some old discussions that never went anywhere, ([[Forum:Battle of the Ood Sphere]]) so it makes sense to have a forum thread on ''events'' generally, as opposed to battles ([[Forum:Skirmish at TARDIS Wiki]]).

::: No, everyone is not. I mean, you can put forward a proposal to discuss it, of course, but speaking with an administrative vantage point if not quite the full weight of an assertion of policy, '''I generally think event-pages ''qua'' event-pages are by now understood to be a beneficial and necessary part of the Wiki's ecosystem.''' A crucial factor which wasn't present at the time of those old Forum: discussion is the existence/documentation of many valid sources that give us actual, non-conjectural names for those events. | ::: No, everyone is not.

::: None of this has any direct bearing on the creation of further pages along the lines of the wonderful [[Romana I's regeneration]], unless ''those'' events also find themselves at the heart of events which also have their own pages elsewhere. To clarify a counterexample: both of the [[Tenth Doctor's regeneration]]s result from events with their own pages — the [[Planetary Relocation Incident]] and the [[Ultimate Sanction]] respectively. But Ten's regeneration was not the ''main object'' of either event. Even if we end up with a full flush of pages for the televised Doctors' regenerations, I don't think "Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration" will come across as a keenly-felt absence: after all, its relevance to the Doctor's regenerative history ''qua'' regenerative history can be documented at [[Thirteenth Doctor's regeneration]] itself (which, after all, it preceded by a few hours at most, and fairly directly caused), {{tlx|main}}-ing to [[The Master's Dalek Plan]] for the nit-and-gritty.
