 * This discussion is not to be confused with the one about our wiki's ways of celebrating the 50th. This thread is about a 50th Anniversary page in the main namespace

As you must have gathered from above, I'm here to discuss a potential article in the main namespace about the fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who.

The idea actually originally came from Imamadmad on another thread:

You can check out the mini-discussion that was held there for more information. In short, I agreed, MrThermomanPreacher said that RangerWiki does just that with their Power Rangers 20 page and OttselSpy25 expanded on the concept. CzechOut then rejected the idea, saying that he would prefer a simply category, since he didn't think there would be any unique information: only a list.

Two weeks ago, I created a mock-up, which demonstrated that the page does in fact get unique information. The way I see it, it should function sort of like a series page. See Series 7 (Doctor Who), for example. The mock-up can be found here. I haven't really touched the page since its creation. Now, I'm bringing the idea back.

Basically, the page would include every big thing that's going on in celebration of the 50th: conventions (recently announced, I'll add it to the page later...), merchandise, episodes, books, comics, documentaries... Everything like that. Please note that they must have to do specifically with the anniversary itself, not just something that happened to be released in 2013.

Anyways, check out the mock-up, and feel free to offer your comments here, and/or edit my mock-up. I'm currently busy on both my day of the year project and creating 50th anniversary logos, so I won't be able to help much now. I'm just putting the idea back on the table.

What do you guys think about having such a page?
