}}So I had this idea a few days ago, and I thought it would be a good idea to pitch it to the fourms. It's a really good idea I think, and it's something a little less contentious than some of the other big rule changes we've been making. It's basically about inter-wiki linking and infoboxes.

For many many years, infoboxes on TARDIS wiki have had the "first=" variable. Historically, this has been used to denote the first ''valid source'' where this character appears. Despite sounding simple, caused a lot of headaches. For instance, [[Zog (The Ultimate Adventure)|Zog]] from the stage play ''[[The Ultimate Adventure (stage play)|Doctor Who: The Ultimate Adventure]]'' listed a short trips story as his premiere story, despite this being an out-of-universe variable.

I originally wanted to have it be "firstDWU", with the infobox text reading "First DWU appearance," but I realized this would just reset us to things which are non-valid being once again discluded from the first variable... But I'm open to alternate suggestions.

The test template I'm using in this OP is at [[:Infobox off-wiki first]]. I changed barely anything, it's probably not good enough to be used right away, and I am not good at coding templates. But this is the basic idea of what I'm suggesting.
