So right now (anyone who took part above correct me if I've listed your position wrong or you've changed your mind) this is where we stand:

1. Should we view episodes that end with "to be continued" cards as automatic multi-part episodes that must be linked to the episode that follows it?

Four editors (so far unanimously) say no.

Proposed (and thus far agreed upon) alternative: an episode that ends in "to be continued" can be considered a multi-parter if 1) the next part(s) share(s) the same writer and 2) they air over consecutive weeks.

2. Should we view return cards ("Doctor Who will return in..." / "Coming..." / "the Doctor will be back..." / "Coming Soon" / "The Doctor and Clara will return..." / variations) as the same thing as "to be continued" cards and therefore hold them to the same standards?

Four editors (so far unanimously) say no.
