Spoilers
Per the above rules, spoilery content was removed from this page. Shambala108 ☎  14:25, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Let me rephrase; the points in the Rumours section (which I cannot describe here) do not belong there any more than Carole Ann Ford saying that she would "jump at the chance" to play Susan again would have belonged in the Rumours section of series 12. The "rumours" do not state that the people in question will be returning but that they would be willing to. Jack &#34;BtR&#34; Saxon ☎  13:21, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Anniversary
I notice a lot of reference is made to "the 60th anniversary special" even though there are rumours of , coinciding with the 60th. Should we remain referring to "the 60th anniversary special" () until anything is confirmed otherwise? FractalDoctor ☎  10:34, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I have the same question. I've seen pictures of clapper boards, but nothing as of yet which can be used as a valid source. 66 Seconds ☎  09:27, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Start date?
Do we have a source for this  start date? WaltK ☎  19:05, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Writers
Where exactly in the source given does it say that [Writer name, no spoilers] wrote all three episodes? What's the verbatim quote? The only quote even mentioning the 60th anniversary is "I’ve already written some of the episodes. The first will go out in November 2023 – that’s the 60th anniversary of the show." 120.20.172.45talk to me 08:17, 12 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Just a reminder for anyone replying to this question: no spoilers are allowed on this talk page. Shambala108 ☎  17:54, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Correct, but somebody is going to have to answer this, lest you keep unsourced content in the article. 120.20.158.146talk to me 00:01, 13 September 2022 (UTC)


 * It will be answered without spoilers or not at all. Shambala108 ☎  02:06, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
 * That's fine. So if it's not answered, then the content remains unsourced and can be removed. 122.199.43.25talk to me 12:51, 13 September 2022 (UTC)


 * What kind of sense does it make to block spoilers on a talk page for an article that allows spoilers? If we can't talk about a page on its talk page, we'd might as well not have one at all! Where does T:SPOIL require anything like this? – n8 (☎) 16:18, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Not entirely sure, but disallowing spoilers on the talk page for a spoilery page is 1000% counterproductive, and regardless of whatever policy may or may not exist — and if it isn't a policy then it shouldn't be exclusively binding, as per T:LOCAL RULES — an exception must be made for this talk page under the very obvious circumstances. Otherwise, the only discussion that can be had is through edit summaries, which can lead to edit wars which creates a million more issues than saying that Scottish-Rwandan actor's name on this talk page. 📯 📂 16:28, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Tardis:Where spoilers are allowed clearly states the policy, for whoever asked. Shambala108 ☎  21:33, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Well yes, but the policies also state spoilers are allowed on series pages, which talk pages are the extension of, and the alternate leads to larger violations of policies. We've got conflicting policies, so we should choose the lesser of two evils, for sake of all our sanities! But this is all moot anyway 'cos of Howling:The Howling, even though it isn't perfect. 📯 📂 21:44, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

For my response on the original topic, which absolutely can’t be given an answer without using spoilers… go to Howling:Series 14 (Doctor Who). -Danniesen ☎  22:08, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

@User:Danniesen I left your original post about the Howling (see below) so there was no need to add it again. And I restored this page sans spoilers to preserve the edit history, since this talk page will exist long past the end of the season's release. Shambala108 ☎  22:16, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Ahh… nice. Where was this rule ever discussed? What purpose does it possibly serve for our readers or editors? Whom do we endanger by discussing spoilers on this talk page who is not already endangered by the spoilers on Series 14 (Doctor Who)? Because as it stands, it's completely indefensible, counterproductive, and borderline Kafkaesque. Would it really be impossible to reach a Community consensus-style policy clarification here? – n8 (☎) 22:35, 14 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, changing policy to better suit an ongoing discussion feels wrong on many levels, from the abuse of power such activity could lead to — not saying that this specific instance was that though, to be clear, I'm not accusing anybody of that — and also seems like a violation of T:BOUND, even if it was inadvertent, because I'm sure consciously changing a policy in such a manner was not the intent of the parties involved, as I'd prefer to assume good faith. 📯 📂 22:49, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
