So, in the past few weeks, an IP user brought attention to lists of appearances. However, some aspects of the editings were decided to need a bit of discussion. This discussion started here, but it started to get bigger and bigger, so we decided to bring it to the foruns, so it could get a better atention from all community. Our main discussions were:

Decided matters

 * Titan Comics' series: should we name them "Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor" or simply "The Eighth Doctor"?
 * Decision: Keep the "Doctor Who" prefix on those cases


 * Titan Comics was being removed was one of the headings on the lists.
 * Decision: Add back the "Titan Comics" headings


 * Extra space between an h2 and an h3, etc.
 * Decision: Unnecessary to do it, but necessary between two h2 or between two h3, etc. Example:

== Television ==

Doctor Who

 * Not:

== Television ==

Doctor Who

 * "IDW" vs. "IDW Publishing" and "Titan" vs. "Titan Comics" as the name of headings
 * Decision: Always "IDW Publishing" and "Titan Comics". Never "IDW" and "Titan"


 * "Novel" vs. "Novels" and "Comic" vs. "Comics" as the name of headings
 * Decision: Always "Novels" and "Comics". Never "Novel" and "Comic"

Under discussion

 * How to link to lists of appearances?  or  ?
 * How many appearances are necessary for a list to be made?
 * The   variable being listed as "other appearances". On, it used to just be appearances, with "first seen in" listed separately as well. Should it be kept, put the same wording on the other infoboxes, or roll it back entirely? To be completely clear, it says "appearances" if no "first" is specified, and if one is listed, gives the next variable as "other appearances".

With this, I think I made a good overview of the major discussion points made so far. User:SOTO and User:Amorkuz: if you think I left something important off this list, please remind us below.
