Board Thread:The Panopticon/@comment-188432-20121211021956

After about three years of debate, and really almost eight years of indecision, the Master has now been settled on the site. There is now just one single article on the character, unlike with other Time Lords, per discussions at Forum:The Master and Forum:The Master - 1 article. All links to individual incarnation have been changed to one of the following new templates: category=The Master templates columns=3

Instruction for use of these templates is available at each of their documentation pages.

Material at the various incarnations' articles has been integrated into the central article, with much important writing being done by OttselSpy25, Tybort, Shambala108, Tangerineduel and others. A special thanks goes out to everyone who took a crack at the integration of this important, but difficult, article.

Due to the fact that a simultaneous merger of seven articles' histories would have resulted in a page history that was nearly un-followable, only the single history of the article at the Master has been retained.

I personally apologise for the length of time the article was locked. It is not our general practise to keep such an important article from being edited. However, the final act of changing all existing links proved more tedious than I imagined.

I have only one request of future editors, however. Please do not change the section titles. These are required to be precisely as they are for the proper operation of the linking templates.

This article is once again open for general editing.
