Threads to be created when the forums are back
Please note that anyone is more than free to edit this, it'll allow us to coordinate, just make a new section with your username.

Other users can feel free to take on some of these later threads if they want, these are roughly arranged in the order I plan on doing them

 * Validity of Can I Help You?
 * Dabbing Doctor Who (N-Space) stories, see Talk:The Woman Who Lived, or, more generally, discussing making (N-space) the generic dab term for "out-of-universe elements that exist in the DWU", see Talk: Give-a-Show Projector (N-Space)
 * Validity of Author biographies in The Book of the Enemy
 * Faction Paradox N-Space vs just Faction Paradox in popular culture and mythology.
 * Reopening Thread:232143 due to Talk:Petronella_Osgood%27s_sister.
 * The big one; Czech has asked that the discussion on Curse of Fatal Death be reopened because he has nondescript new evidence. User:Najawin has also remembered an old comment from Eruditorum suggesting that Moffat said something on rec.arts that might weigh against validity. I found it. Oof. (Further rec.arts comments, though not the original one mentioned at Eruditorum, can be found here, here, here, here and here.)
 * (Conversely, DWM 560, released since the closure of the thread, adds new evidence to the valid side by seeing a BBC-sanctioned publication doing a whole dossier on Curse which treats it as DWU to the point of including speculation as to how it connects to other elements of continuity. This recent interview with Moffat also has him looking back on Curse as potentially canonical, "as much as The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius)".)

Epsilon

 * One Born Every Minute
 * Verity - need a statement from James Goss though.
 * A change to T:VALID that will stop "decide your destiny" type stories being flat-out invalid, as a precedent has been set by Flip-Flop for handling stories with alternating narratives. [Note from Najawin: A recent change to T:VALID might make this hard to argue. I don't know how you want to proceed, just noting this though.]
 * A clause to be added to T:NO RW, so that details from obscured props can instead be used from the real world prop. If that makes sense. This could be handled in the already open Thread:272817 though.
 * Various other threads/inclusion debates that I do not want to disclose information on.
 * I too also want to reopen Thread:232143.
 * The Wiki claims that everything (barring the slurs, adjectives, etc) deserves a page, yet there's an odd, unstated rule that forces us to put in-universe information about individuals from the real world on their out-of-universe page. See most of the pages in Category:Doctor Who actors that exist in the DWU for examples.
 * A thread to allow invalid stories to go in lists of appearances, seeing as lists of appearances aren't in-universe.
 * If stories released on an author's personal blog can be considered an "official release", (a concern with rule three of T:VALID).
