Forum:Story pages

Hi everybody

I've been editing some TV story pages which were a bit on the blank side before, I think I've got it figured out, but I have a few questions about the structure of the page and what goes in each section. Sections on the pages seem to differ between different TV stories after the cast and crew lists, I'm talking about the continuity/story notes/plot holes/references etc. I'm not really sure what goes in each one, maybe we could combine some of the sections, or else could somebody tell me what they all mean and what order they should come in on the page.

My most recent TV story updates are 'The Tomb of the Cybermen' and 'Arc of Infinity' if anybody wants to take a look. I've been aiming for consistency, but these things I've been a bit confused by. Can anybody help?

 * Hi, I've been having a look through the two articles indicated. As far as the manual of style goes (Tardis:Format for Television Story Entries) looks good.
 * "Generally we try to not to go for the whole sale copying from wikipedia (as we're trying to go for a big :improvment on wikipedia rather than just a copy), however if you feel that it is needed to copy from wikipedia make :sure you put the at the end of the article (between the end :and the categories).
 * "Just on the difference between References and Continuity (as I was having a look through the Arc of Infinity :article), after noting that no info is given how Omega survived beyond "No he exists", the rest of the info :conerning his TARDIS and everything should (though it's partially up to your discretion) go in the References :section as it's talking about something in universe. (That is after the mention of the Three Doctors), which isn't :pertainent to the rest of the information imparted.
 * References is in universe stuff, Continuity is stories (be it broadcast, published, audio drama or otherwise). --Tangerineduel 15:02, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
