By Whoniverse centric, I mean something unique to Doctor Who, or treated uniquely by Doctor Who. Characters, planets, technology--there's a ton of stuff that doesn't exist outside the world of Doctor Who. Or things that exist in the real world but are fundamentally different in the Who world. The most prominent example (to my mind) is that of governments. There's a lot that's similar, but so much that's different.

So celery isn't Whoniverse centric for example. It's something found in the real world-it's not a creation of Who. And celery in the Whoniverse is the same as celery in the real world. It's still a vegetable, still green, still edible. But reading the celery article adds context for me.

I get that the wiki can't judge importance or interest and that this is a very subjective issue.

My issue with the particular line I came here about isn't any particular potential article. It's the overwhelming excess and how incredibly distracting and detracting I find it. Your earlier comment on what should be linked and how to treat redlinking is incredibly helpful. I guess my question is what to do when a sentence, paragraph or article is littered with redlinks that aren't SHOULD but are ALLOWED. Any advice on that?
