User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-88790-20140320133410 As the discussion concerning this is spread out over two talk pages the Template talk:DWTV page and the Talk:The Night of the Doctor (TV story) page I thought it best to bring it here.

To summarise the discussion thus far:

A discussion was begun on the Template talk:DWTV page by User:Ben Paddon on 08:02, November 16, 2013 concerning including The Night of the Doctor on the template.

User:Bold Clone stated on the page at 01:14, November 30, 2013 "No. This template is fundamentally based on the premise of the respective Doctor's original run." adding that "The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors to the First Doctor's section of the template. Nor do we add Time Crash to the Fifth Doctor's part."

At 19:51, December 7, 2013 User:Geek Mythology contended that "Multi-Doctor stories aren't a proper comparison for the Night of the Doctor, as they feature previous Doctors in a current Doctor story".

On 10:25, 16 December 2013 Geek Mythology made an edit to the template adding a note about The Night of the Doctor into the section at the bottom of the template used for not covered stories like The Pilot Episode on 03:21, 20 December 2013 Bold Clone undid this edit stating "That section was for -non-valid- stories only.".

A request was made by User:TARDIStraveler on The Night of the Doctor talk page to add it to the template. The request was again revived on 13:10, March 14, 2014 by TARDIStraveler which is where I intervened.

I added The Night of the Doctor at 01:37, 15 March 2014‎ to the DWTV template.

At 02:14, 15 March 2014 User:Bold Clone undid my edit to the DWTV template stating "No. That's not how this template works."

Then at 15:17, March 14, 2014 Bold Clone left a message on the Talk:The Night of the Doctor (TV story) explaining his actions. Bold Clone's contention a repeat of his previous DWTV discussion contribution "Even if 8 is the primary Doctor in this story, it is still not part of his original run, which is the only content we list on the template".

The template page itself doesn't actually affirm what content it covers. But we can infer that based on the link to List of Doctor Who television stories it is a template representation of that page. Just as the other Category:Season navigation templatess are a template pages of their respective pages.''
