Tardis:Format for novels

This is a tutorial for writing entries for Novels

Basic requirements

 * First comes the infobox (template for Novels containing a Doctor and template for Novels not containing a Doctor such as Bernice Summerfield and Companion only novels).
 * The infobox contains basic information such as Doctor, Companions, Publishing date, Enemy, year novel is set...etc.

Publisher’s summary

 * This is what is on the back of the novel (sometimes called the blurb).

Characters

 * This is a list of all the characters, both introduced previously to the novel and introduced in the novel.
 * Create links to a character if one does not exist.

You can also place information pertaining to characters that does not fit within the 'references' list. (Indent and bullet point by using  :* )

Continuity
Continuity refers to the links between the novel and other Doctor Who universe stories.

Tie-ins between this novel and other stories i.e. other novels, TV stories or audios. These should be listed (in the same manner to any other story) with the prefix of the story's group followed by the story's title in italics, it does not need to be in brackets.

Timeline
Timeline refers to all Doctor Who Universe media and attempts to place this story within the personal timeline of the protagonist(s).

Timeline is generally only used for the Past Doctor Adventures, Virgin Missing Adventures, Big Finish Bernice Summerfield Series, Telos Doctor Who Novellas, BBC Torchwood novels and any short stories (there are of course exceptions with everything but with regards to the BBC Eighth Doctor Adventures or the Virgin New Adventures if the next story in the timeline is in the infobox it needn't be repeated with a timeline section and the timeline can be omitted).

The timeline should be written something like this:


 * (page story title) occurs after: (prefix): (story title)
 * (page story title) occurs before: (prefix): (story title)
