The initial "A Good Man Goes To War" problem was caused by a misinterpretation of what DWM said regarding "Let's Kill Hitler", so a source-based ruleset would be something like:
 * Multiple BBC Wales-era episodes are linked as a multi-part story if all of the following are true:
 * 1. They aired consecutively within the same series run, ignoring mini-episodes shorter than 20 minutes
 * 2. They are unambiguously stated as a multi-part story by a reliable non-televised source, or they have the same base title excluding "Part One" / "Part Two" or similar designation

However, the arguments over what would constitute a reliable source could lead to debate. What we're trying to achieve here is a set of rules that can't change the status of a story after its series run is over, specifically because of the mess regarding sources on certain episodes.
