Hello there, I'm proposing a change to T:VS. This isn't a change to the "four little rules" as such, but a change to the implications of Rule 4, specifically where the article states:

"Those things which don't have the permission of all relevant copyright holders, or those which were never meant to be continuous with the established DWU, are excluded."

The problem with this, most specifically the emboldened text, is that many users have been using authorial intent to overrule this piece of poilicy within recent weeks in order to claim that certain, previously invalid stories, should be regarded as valid. As such, I am proposing a minor change within this sentence:

"Those things which don't have the permission of all relevant copyright holders, or those which were never meant to be continuous with the established DWU, are excluded, no matter the authorial intent at time of production."

This minor change would regard stories such as Death Comes To Time, The Curse Of Fatal Death, Scream of the Shalka and the Unbound plays that are currently invalid as permanently invalid, unless clarified as taking place within the DWU by other valid stories.

What do other on this wiki think about this change? I certainly think it would clear up some inclusion debates much quicker with this change, as it still doesn't change any policy regarding narrative inconsistencies as far as i can see.
