Unreleased box set talk

Can someone add season 14 and 26

Pretty sure this wiki has a policy about not posting about an upcoming release until it's actually out. BigRockCola ☎ 04:53, January 28, 2020 (UTC)

I might be wrong, but the fact that those seasons have already been released (i.e. in the 20th century) means the boxset release of them doesn't violate T:SPOIL. Danochy ☎ 04:55, January 28, 2020 (UTC)

I don't think it's so much about the spoiler policy as it is that this wiki seems to take a pretty hard line on not talking about things that are officially released yet. Case in point, I had actually added Season 26 when I first tidied up this page a couple of weeks ago, but found all my changes reverted because I had included Season 26.

More to the point, while Season 14 has broadcast, this box set hasn't come out yet. I don't necessarily agree with the line, but I'm smart enough to have noticed it and I'm not bullish enough to attempt to cross it again. BigRockCola ☎ 05:05, January 28, 2020 (UTC)

I think the main reason for Season 14 not being added yet is because the heading for the table is Published titles, and as the Season 14 Collection set hasn't been released yet, it can't go in that particular section. However, I'm not sure if it can be mentioned anywhere else on the page, as the set is already mentioned in Season 14's page despite it not being released. LauraBatham ☎ 05:26, January 28, 2020 (UTC)

I'd be interested in seeing how long an "Announced titles" heading would last on this page. Any takers? BigRockCola ☎ 05:34, January 28, 2020 (UTC)

Note that there are plenty of yet-to-be-released sets already mentioned on this page. (which, you'll note, is non-spoiler-y) As Laura mentioned, it's not policy that has prevented the addition of S14 and 26 thus far, but the format of the page. Danochy ☎ 05:48, January 28, 2020 (UTC)

When I previously added a paragraph mentioning forthcoming releases, that too was edited out. BigRockCola ☎ 05:58, January 28, 2020 (UTC)

Spines

"The spine of each box featured clean artwork of the Doctor's face from the cover (except season 23, where due to an oversight the villians were added by mistake)"

The monsters have also been left on the Season 8 spine. In addition, although the original Season 12 was clean, the re-release has the monsters added back for some reason.8.26.180.64^{talk to me} 22:44, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Mouseover artwork for the UK sets?

How viable would it be to include a mouseover for the UK covers that doesn't show the J-card lower-third when the user moves their mouse over the cover? BigRockCola ☎ 18:59, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
