The current tardis.wikia/factionparadox.wikia division is a "separate but equal" situation. The idea is supposedly that both cover their subject matter equally well, but that they have limited connections to each other. But that's obviously not the truth. The majority of stories and concepts in the DWU have nothing to do with Faction Paradox. So it's only the minority that are related that are damaged by the disconnect — pages like Justine (Alien Bodies) and Chris Cwej. But Faction Paradox depends on many other DWU concepts to make sense. The second series of FP audios are a prequel to Pyramids of Mars, but the rules imposed on the FP wiki by the tardis wiki administration mean it can't actually explain that except through out-of-universe notes at the bottoms of pages. Characters like the Shift and Justine can't have their origins described.

The obviously flawed solution is to allow the FP wiki to cite other DWU sources. Then characters end up with two pages: one that allows all of their history but has basically no activity, and one that allows only a subset, but has lots of editors interested in at least part of the content.

The only solution is to re-allow Faction Paradox-related sources on this wiki.
