That's a plot summary, and is explicitly considered necessary to move the article out of stub status, per Tardis:Stub. This would be introducing an entirely new — and frankly expensive-to-obtain — level of information that would tend to make articles that lack it look stubby. This changes the baseline of information necessary for an article. And if all we have so far is around two dozen stories, that's just not good enough.

Also, there is a very real need to harness this information usefully. It's not really good enough to just recreate the liner notes. The information has to be linked in a way similar to in order for us to use it. And the problem is that we need to get a much wider sample of liner notes across a larger number of release years than the list so far presented.

Again, though, Cult of Skaro and Jago aren't the only audio fans here. Maybe others will come to this thread and offer their collection lists and we'll be able to put some things together. Again, I strongly feel that we need to have something like 60% of all of BF releases on hand, collectively, before we can think about including this information in articles.

For the moment, the most useful thing you could do would be to start scanning the credit pages and archiving those scans here at TARDIS. That way, you won't waste time typing in all these credits, but we'll be able to start building up a sense of the kind of shape the eventual credits template will need to take.
