Talk:The universe's greatest assassin has just 24 hours to escape Death and find the Doctor - where will Doom's Day take her next? (webcast)
That darn title[[edit source]]
I can only take whoever created this page at their word that that is indeed the official title. However, because of how ludicrously long it is, would it be acceptable to use a shortened version when it works best? i.e. in info and navboxes. Make it The universe's greatest assassin, perhaps with an ellipsis (…) to denote that there's more. WaltK ☎ 20:34, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- For the record, there's a link to the original Twitter post in "External links", but considering recent updates by the Muskrat, it's understandable if that doesn't work. This is the only title officially used (as a caption), although a shorter version would certainly simplify citations. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 20:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Invalid fourth wall[[edit source]]
Is it breaking the fourth wall still reason enough to render this invalid? There are only two mentions of the fourth wall in Tardis:Valid sources and never does it mention a reason to flat out rule something invalid. I'm confused by this. StevieGLiverpool ☎ 12:58, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- I believe it is generally considered very strong indication of negative authorial intent. Aquanafrahudy 📢 13:13, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- Depends on the situation. If it breaks the fourth wall briefly in a very large piece, that can be forgiven. If it breaks the fourth wall constantly because that's part of the writer's particular style, that can be forgiven. If it does neither of those things, and is just a giant fourth wall break that isn't really indicative of the general sort of thing the author/series/whatever does, then we take it as evidence of authorial intent that it's not in the DWU. See The Trip of a Lifetime (TV story) as precedent for this in particular. Najawin ☎ 17:01, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
