What do you mean by "in-universe summaries"? Which in-universe articles are specifically being knocked for six by using broadcast order? We'd really need a list of articles that are impacted to make a fair assessment.

Even so, I'm not inclined to back this proposal, even though there was a time several years ago when I probably would have.

Let's imagine the article, Ace, has events listed in broadcast order. The usual way of handling this in the past is to accept broadcast order as true, and then to make a note in the behind the scenes section as to the problems created by airing out of intended order. In other words, the airing schedule creates production errors, such as Ace wearing a particular item in one episode that she receives in a later one.

And we really don't want to get in the business of trying to correct Doctor Who for production errors! No, just accept things as they are, and then note the production errors only if they're truly relevant to the page on which you're working.
