:::This helps protect against any editor's headcanon making it onto the page and {{w|citogenesis|trickling down}} to fandom. (Relatedly, one fun idea that I once brainstormed with [[User:Poseidome|Poseidome]] was a slider by real-world release date. For instance, as you move the slider on [[Planet (An Unearthly Child)]] from [[1963 (releases)|1963]] to the present day, the article would morph into [[Jewel (planet)|Jewel]] and then [[Gallifrey]]. This obviously wouldn't work on Tardis, but I still think it would be a great idea for some other reference source.) Suffice it to say that this is a problem that I've thought a lot about and will continue to work on as an admin. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 18:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC) | :::This helps protect against any editor's headcanon making it onto the page and {{w|citogenesis|trickling down}} to fandom.

::::Edifying as always. With that said, and I hesitate to bring this up, you seem to have skipped past the question I raised about the ''process'' of writing policy as it relates to ambiguity. Since it's admins that close threads and thus write policy I think your disposition in this issue is fairly relevant! If you think it's still somewhat unclear, please, let me know, I'm sure I can figure out a way to rephrase it.
