Before we go any further, I'd like to ask that we don't get into the ''Curse of Fatal Death'' naming debate here. But I think it could very well be argued that the "production titles" are not necessarily helpful to our readers or very thoroughly in-universe. The distinction between "The Handsome Doctor" and "The Very Handsome Doctor" is tedious at best. I think it's similar to how during the production of ''Masterful'' Big Finish officially called the 1996 Master "The Movie Master" but went out of their way not to credit him this way. Sure, naming the page [[Movie Master]] would mean there's no longer a story DAB - but what we all need to realize is that ''sometimes a DAB is good''. Story DABs are not the natural evil of the website which need to be purged, they are more than often the right choice for the situation.

::Furthermore, this forum itself is arguing for the validation of non-fiction information while the four rules of [[T:VS]] clearly state that Rule 1 is "only fiction counts." This exists, explicitly, to disqualify non-fiction. | |||
:@OS25, this thread is in the Panopticon, and from what I can tell seems to call for the abolishment of Rule 1. I'm not an admin, but to the best of my knowledge Rule 1 existing shouldn't stop this proposal from occurring, because Rule 1 is the thing being discussed, if you see what I mean. (You're probably confused because of the title.) On the matter of whether we ''should'' abolish Rule 1, I remain entirely neutral, until somebody presents an argument for one or the other. :) [[User:Aquanafrahudy|<span style="font-family: serif; color: pink" title="Hallo." > Aquanafrahudy</span>]] [[User talk: Aquanafrahudy|📢]] 15:10, 9 July 2023 (UTC) | |||
