Threads to be created when the forums are back
Please note that anyone is more than free to edit this, it'll allow us to coordinate, just make a new section with your username.

Other users can feel free to take on some of these later threads if they want, these are roughly arranged in the order I plan on doing them

 * Validity of Can I Help You?
 * Dabbing Doctor Who (N-Space) stories, see Talk:The Woman Who Lived, or, more generally, discussing making (N-space) the generic dab term for "out-of-universe elements that exist in the DWU", see Talk: Give-a-Show Projector (N-Space)
 * Validity of Author biographies in The Book of the Enemy
 * Faction Paradox N-Space vs just Faction Paradox in popular culture and mythology.
 * Reopening Thread:232143 due to Talk:Petronella_Osgood%27s_sister.
 * The big one; Czech has asked that the discussion on Curse of Fatal Death be reopened because he has nondescript new evidence. User:Najawin has also remembered an old comment from Eruditorum suggesting that Moffat said something on rec.arts that might weigh against validity. I found it. Oof.
 * (Conversely, DWM 560, released since the closure of the thread, adds new evidence to the valid side by seeing a BBC-sanctioned publication doing a whole dossier on Curse which treats it as DWU to the point of including speculation as to how it connects to other elements of continuity.)

Epsilon

 * One Born Every Minute
 * Verity - need a statement from James Goss though.
 * A change to T:VALID that will stop "decide your destiny" type stories being flat-out invalid, as a precedent has been set by Flip-Flop for handling stories with alternating narratives. [Note from Najawin: A recent change to T:VALID might make this hard to argue. I don't know how you want to proceed, just noting this though.]
 * A clause to be added to T:NO RW, so that details from obscured props can instead be used from the real world prop. If that makes sense. This could be handled in the already open Thread:272817 though.
 * Various other threads/inclusion debates that I do not want to disclose information on.
 * I too also want to reopen Thread:232143.
 * The Wiki claims that everything (barring the slurs, adjectives, etc) deserves a page, yet there's an odd, unstated rule that forces us to put in-universe information about individuals from the real world on their out-of-universe page. See most of the pages in Category:Doctor Who actors that exist in the DWU for examples.
 * A thread to allow invalid stories to go in lists of appearances, seeing as lists of appearances aren't in-universe.
 * If stories released on an author's personal blog can be considered an "official release", (a concern with rule three of T:VALID).
