Talk:Cwej-636984540

100,000
Looks like this was the 100,000th page! (Might be slightly off, I'm not sure if user pages count towards the total. It was certainly one of the Cwej pages.) Good job everyone. Najawin ☎  02:59, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Still, annoying that the 100,000th page was a Cwejen page rather than a page I tried to get into that spot. Also FYI, I believe only main namespace pages (including Doctor Who Wiki and Infobox test) count towards the total, so not user pages. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  16:37, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I have to admit, a copy-and-pasted Cwej page with absolutely no unique information on it, as one of hundreds of its ilk, really sours the milestone for me. We didn't create individual pages for all of the floors of the Colony ship (World Enough and Time), so how come this was allowed? These should all be up and merged into one article, unless if a given Cwejen has anything of note to write about. Furthermore, these hundreds of pages will now be clogging any category or WhatLinksHere section of the Wiki! 17:18, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * All we need is Cwej-636984209 - 636984645, which states...

 Cwej-636984209 to Cwej-636984645 were all individual Cwejen, duplicated from Chris Cwej. (PROSE: The Mushroom at the End of the Universe) 

 

 


 * These pages don't even tell us how the Cwejen are relevant to The Mushroom at the End of the Universe! They just tell us they existed, with zero useful information aside from that. 17:24, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Or we could even call the page Cwejen (The Mushroom at the End of the Universe). 17:27, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

I don't care about the 100,000th page milestone, but I agree that per the precedent set by User:CzechOut's ruling at Talk:World Enough and Time (TV story), these pages should not exist. Neither Cwej-636984209 - 636984645 nor Cwejen (The Mushroom at the End of the Universe) are necessary, just as we do not have Floors (World Enough and Time); the existence of these Cwejen can simply be mentioned, unlinked, on Cwej (species). – n8 (☎) 18:48, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Wow. Way to sour a user's contributions to the site. I did notice Cookieboy's attempt to "steal" the 100k post, with them having not posted in a long time and suddenly posting at the exact second they expected to have the 100k post. Nobody had an issue with these Cwej pages until they got a milestone, then suddenly they are against the rules? I think pages about actual characters mentioned in text are far more warranted than a door number which was seen for a fleeting second. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  19:16, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * No, people definitely had an issue with them already, even if they're not technically against the rules. Cookieboy 2005 ☎  19:18, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Where were these issues shared before the page got a milestone? DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  19:20, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I've noticed the precedent violation since the start, but I didn't want to be the first to bring it up, since I didn't want to sour your contributions, and in the end it's no skin off my back. – n8 (☎) 19:34, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * A ruling about one single topic doesn't suddenly create a strict precedent. Those rooms were literally seen for a split second each, whereas the time was taken to name these characters individually. Had the text said "Cwej-636984209 - 636984645 were duplicated" I would completely agree that they should be housed on a single page but because they were named individually, taking up multiple pages in the book, I think they deserve unique pages. This also seems to be the authorial intent as when the pages were made the Arcbeetle Twitter posted about "here they come" as if they expected the pages to be created at some point. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  19:46, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Here's my input. I do not care in the slightest that the milestone was taken by a massproduced page. I agree with Corrie that there's a difference between showing up on the screen for a frame or two and being in the book. With that said, there probably should be a discussion over the pages in the forums when they're up. But Corrie. Please stop reading everything everyone says as an affront to you. Perhaps nobody said anything before because they were being polite? Not everyone is out to get you on this wiki. Believe it or not, we actually like having your contributions here. Najawin ☎  21:14, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * To be clear, I've had a problem with these pages for some time, as they are stubby articles that contain the smallest amount of information and taking up hundreds of pages unnecessarily, clogging categories and WLH in their wake. Yes, the policies may say that each character may get a page or whatever, but perhaps if a story presents hundreds of near-identical characters, a discussion of their coverage may be important? I doubt the policies were written with the "there are over 400 identical Cwejen in one story" in mind. Especially when coverage of said pages leads to lack of user-friendliness and technical issues.


 * And we don't create pages for every single Dalek in The Stolen Earth, even though they appear on screen, some in pivotal moments! 21:20, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Agree with User:Epsilon the Eternal and User:NateBumber but didn't want to say anything before for the obvious reasons. We now have dozens of pages that say the exact same thing; is that really necessary? Shambala108 ☎  22:54, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Najawin, where did I read anything as being an affront to me? Please stop accusing me of this and take my responses at face value. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  23:22, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I've been meaning to bring up this discussion about these pages too. I really don't think we need them. Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon ☎  23:25, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * A strict rule should be created then, because I see these as being no more frivolous than pages like Fiona (fictional character) and Donkey (fictional character). DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  23:29, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * "Way to sour a user's contributions to the site", "Nobody had an issue with these Cwej pages until they got a milestone, then suddenly they are against the rules?". Again, I actually somewhat defended your position here, saying that there's a qualitative distinction between this and something appearing for a second on screen. But your first comment was unnecessarily hostile imo. Najawin ☎  23:36, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Eh, I made those pages because of both in-universe and BTS information - we know their names and they're pivotal to their source material. Multiple of them are featured in Funko Pop! Blitz, and they have unique information (green dress and red hair for Fiona, and simply being a donkey for Donkey). Cookieboy 2005 ☎  23:42, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * I was replying to Cookieboy's announced annoyance that they weren't able to swoop in and take the 100k milestones from me ("annoying that the 100,000th page was a Cwejen page rather than a page I tried to get into that spot"), and that they seemingly believed their page to be worthier of that milestone. Please stop reading further into my comments. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  23:43, 4 December 2022 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, you said that you viewed these pages as equally as frivolous as my Shrek pages. Although this is an entirely valid stance for you to take, I felt that I should point out that there is more information known about those characters (by the way, I don't care that much anymore about this being the 100,000th page, so don't worry about that). Cookieboy 2005 ☎  23:49, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * That comment was replying to Najwain. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎  23:51, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Time to stop worrying about hurt feelings and misinterpreting comments, and let's just get back to the issue of whether these pages are needed. Shambala108 ☎  02:41, 5 December 2022 (UTC)


 * What we've got are dozens and dozens of identical pages which don't really offer any information at all. They could all be boiled down to a single note on Cwej (species) saying something along the lines of, "There were at least 636,984,645 Cwejen. (PROSE: The Mushroom at the End of the Universe)". Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon ☎  11:27, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Dropping in here to say that I'm in support of a solution which cuts down these many identical pages. It may be a minor point, but I'd like to propose the alternative range of Cwej-636984211 to Cwej-636984645 (currently created up to Cwej-636984540) as concerns this issue. Cwej-636984209 and Cwej-636984210 do contain unique information so I would be against folding them in with the rest. Borisashton ☎  00:59, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
