}}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. | }}So I had this idea a few days ago, and I thought it would be a good idea to pitch it to the fourms.

We recently changed this, making the standing rule that the ''earliest piece of fiction that Tardis Wiki has a page about'' will be the "first" variable for this topic. So Zog's page now says his first appearance is the stage play, even thought it's not a valid source. | We recently changed this, making the standing rule that the ''earliest piece of fiction that Tardis Wiki has a page about'' will be the "first" variable for this topic.
