Thank you for asking! [[Tardis:Citation]] definitely needs updating. The current policy is to prefer {{tlx|cite source}} when possible, we've just not finished converting everything yet… because the tricky thing is that citesource doesn't work unless the story page has itself been modified to use {{tlx|Infobox Story SMW}} instead of {{tlx|Infobox Story}}, and we haven't yet found a way to automate that change, so it's up to editors to gradually update all infoboxes and citations to the new templates. In the meantime it's not ''against policy'' to use the old style, but recommended to go the extra mile.

: Correct! (But only if you also make sure to check that the linked story page is using the SMW version of the infobox.)

Hi. I'm not Shambala, but I know the answer to your query. The thread in question is not available in its original form but, thanks to an increadible effort by [[User:SOTO|SOTO]], is available at [[User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon IV]] (as part of a project to recover missing threads and, eventually, give them their own pages again). Since then, the resolution of the thread has been expanded upon slightly in [[Temporary forums/Subpages 2.0]], specifically [[Temporary forums/Subpages 2.0#/Biography]].
