Forum:Consolidating all of the 'How The Monk Got His Habit' pages.

Opening Post

 * Moving this over into a proper forum debate for the sake of protocol and responsible jurisprudence. Simply put, we are grossly overcovering an invalid source (How the Monk Got His Habit) due to a less than clear outcome of a forum thread that quite literally broke our forum system. The fact of the matter is having more than one page on this matter is not only unnecessary, but actively unhelpful.
 * First of all, it being presented as "an extract from a novelization" is no different from Doctor Who and the Time War (short story) being presented as an extract from a novelization and should not be used to dictate coverage.
 * Second, even if the novelization was in any stage of having been created, it would not warrant coverage. The story How the Monk Got His Habit was not commissioned by the BBC, by Harness's own admission --and there was no suggestion that the novelization was even pitched! If the novelization was in any stage of development, it would be fanfiction (and not even completed or released fanfiction) and thus would not warrant a page.
 * Third, and perhaps most importantly, this page serves absolutely no point. Right now, we have three different pages covering an invalid story that was, by the authors own admission, not picked up: (1) How The Monk Got His Habit (short story); (2) How The Monk Got His Habit (unproduced novelisation); and (3) How The Monk Got His Habit (unproduced TV story). All three of these pages cover the exact same material, or actively avoid covering helpful information to avoid creating an identical page. There is no material on one that is not (or should not) be covered on the other two.
 * I'm begging us to have some common sense and just get rid of this page and consolidate the material onto either the short story page (which I think is disingenuous coverage) or the unproduced TV story page (which I believe is more accurate, given that it's a presentation of an otherwise unproduced story and was specifically not commissioned or produced). Be sensible, please. I would advocate for a single page, How The Monk Got His Habit (unproduced TV story), which covers all of the material. NoNotTheMemes ☎  18:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Discussion
I'll find the historical precedent in a second. Just to note, I'm against this discussion for the time being and would like it delayed, oh, 7 months. This is because I would like to propose another round of amnesty for the 60th anniversary, and I think (dear lord why) that this discussion would benefit from User:DiSoRiEnTeD1's voice, provided that the proposal passes and they return.

 * I'm fairly certain DiSoRiEnTeD1 was hit with a FANDOM-wide ban for sockpuppetry-based ban evasion, which means he'd be ineligible for such an amnesty (which I do agree we should have). Scrooge MacDuck ⊕ 19:11, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
