:::I support this. I think that the wider use of subpages will also help some of our more bloated location pages such as [[London]] or [[Earth]], where there's so much information already on the page that any new information can often fall by the wayside. We could perhaps also have subpages for <code><nowiki>[[London/19th century]]</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>[[London/20th century]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[London/21st century]]</nowiki></code>. This could describe the history of these eras, and have geography sections on how the the location appears during these centuries, as the geography of a location obviously changes over time.

=== Commentaries === | |||
So this isn't a topic that was pitched in the original OP, but I wanted to bring it up here since it's really the best time. | |||
For some period, I have wanted to create some sort of subpage or separate page for commentary tracks. In my opinion, a commentary track on a piece of media is a little more than a limb of said media. It's an important historical record which just happens to have immediate visual aid. And furthermore, there are often ''a lot'' of commentary tracks for established ''Who'' stories. ''[[The Five Doctors (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', from my memory, has a commentary track for the broadcast episode, a commentary for the Special Edition, AND a secret commentary track recorded by [[Russell T Davies]], [[David Tennant]], and [[Julie Gardner]] (with others I think) recorded during the production of [[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]''. So just saying "this info is sourced from the Commentary track" isn't enough. | |||
Allowing the creation of an entire subpage for documenting which commentaries exist and what information comes from each version will really help people source information about classic serials. The idea is we'd have one page per story, and then subsections on each page for each version of the commentary. | |||
So, [[The Five Doctors (TV story)/Commentaries]] could have a section talking about the Special Edition commentary, the regular commentary, the RTD era commentary, and every further example that has ever existed. In each section, one could list topics and trivia from each one, and maybe even quotes. | |||
That's the pitch. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]][[User Talk:OttselSpy25|🤙☎️]] 21:14, 22 March 2023 (UTC) | |||
