What if someone who thought of Dimensions in Time as cannon is looking for info on any sequels or prequels made over the years? What if someone just is looking for any fun info on Death Comes To Time and any continuity references it makes to other stories.

Well, they're just screwed because all of that info was removed from pages because- hey - Non-DWU sources don't have continuity! That's precisely right. If you come here thinking that you're going to find information on something we don't cover, you will be screwed. That's what it means to not cover something. I honestly don't understand why you're having a problem with that, because you evidently understand the concept.

I'll say it again, mainly because it's been a few days since I've said it. The main point in having an article about a BBC-licensed work that we don't cover is to make sure that there is an article at that location which flies the flag. It is not to provide the same level of coverage that we give to other stories. It is primarily to tell people that we think it's not a valid source for the writing of in-universe articles.

If we go and make the articles as fulsome as the rest of our story articles, that message is muddied.
