::: ''Time Rift'' would go on [[Fan film]] or [[Fan films]], following the long-established [[Charity publication]] precedent. I don't know of any fan works called ''Exchange'', but if you mean the Magrs novel, I've long thought it would be very useful to have a "Other works with ties to ''Doctor Who''" section on author pages, for instance to discuss [[Russell T Davies]]' "single universe" approach to his shows in a single place. That idea may seem new or weird, but I still think it's leaps and bounds clearer than the alternative, i.e. opening the door to users creating pages for individual non-covered releases. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 18:52, 1 June 2023 (UTC) | ::: ''Time Rift'' would go on [[Fan film]] or [[Fan films]], following the long-established [[Charity publication]] precedent.

:: Yes, I meant the Magrs novel as mentioned above — going along with the aforementioned principle on which we agree that the same basic standards should apply to the coverage of ''all'' non-covered sources, whether they be fan works or [[:Category:Real world series with DWU connections]] fodder. I don't know, it just seems very strange to me that as soon as something is a trilogy we can give that trilogy its own "series" page, but a standalone work with the same amount of connections would be placed under a completely different theory of coverage. You propose to "follow the long-established ''Charity publcation'' precedent", but we've recently been engaged in the disengorgement of that page via the creation of specific anthology pages for /Non-valid_sources-citable ones — and again, it would seem ''really strange'' to me to still redirect to [[Charity publication]], instead of a bespoke page, if we ever find ourselves wanting to cite a charity ''novel'' on one of these subpages. It's unintuitive. [[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']] [[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]] 19:01, 1 June 2023 (UTC) | |||
