{{retitle|The Panopticon/Expanding leads for Companion Chronicles (and other audio stories?)}} | |||
Having started to listen to Companion Chronicles by Big Finish and, hence, reading their pages here, I was alerted to a comparative scarcity of material there: plots are typically absent, references/continuity/notes might miss important facts, even leads are quite often just the number of the release, overall and within the season. | Having started to listen to Companion Chronicles by Big Finish and, hence, reading their pages here, I was alerted to a comparative scarcity of material there: plots are typically absent, references/continuity/notes might miss important facts, even leads are quite often just the number of the release, overall and within the season. | ||

Those are my initial thoughts and I would be glad to hear comments/additional suggestions. | Those are my initial thoughts and I would be glad to hear comments/additional suggestions. | ||
While I did not find another purpose for the leads in the policy other than helping people decide whether to read the whole article, I myself have an additional purpose in mind. As this purpose guided me in devising the points above, it might be useful to formulate it explicitly. For me the lead should be useful not only with respect to this TARDIS Data Core, but also with respect to the DWU. For a character, I want to read the lead to get a rough idea of who he/she/it is and whether it matters at all. For an audio, personally I want to quickly get an idea of whether I want to listen (have already listened) to this audio or not. Some people care about the writer (according to Big Finish CD Extras), some about an actor, some about historical figures, etc. Similarly, if there is a reasonably strong plot/time connection to another story, I would want to have enough information to decide whether I should familiarize myself with that story first. That's why I would want this information to be added. | While I did not find another purpose for the leads in the policy other than helping people decide whether to read the whole article, I myself have an additional purpose in mind.
