The Reference Desk is for questions about a story: In what episode does Rose wear the Union Jack flag? In what story does the Eighth Doctor work on his model train set? What was the name of the character who died first in Horror of Fang Rock? Things like that.

The Panopticon is for questions like: Do we allow this story on the wiki? Do we need to change story prefixes? Where are spoilers allowed? Etc. etc. etc.

If you go to Forum:Panopticon archives, you can see a long list of titles of old, closed discussions. Browsing the title list might give you a feel for what kinds of things belong on the Panopticon.

Any kind of question that involves digging deeper into a story and speculating about how/why something happened belongs in the Howling.

Hope this helps.
