IndexAdvice and Assistance → Making pages for magazine issues with no official issue numbers
Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

Opening[]

I've been slowly giving individual pages to the issues of Radio Times in recent weeks (beginning primarily with issues that have not yet been documented on the existing overview pages), using both the BBC's programme index and my own calculations to get the exact issue numbers.

At some point (pending your guys blessing), I'd like to go in and do the same to the various issues of TV & Satellite Week that give extensive coverage to DW media.

There are, however, a couple of obstacles in doing so, but I'll only be addressing the most troublesome of the two; there are no official issue numbers to speak of.

TV&SW, at least the issues from the last decade that I have access to, do not number their issues anywhere within. It's also impossible to calculate issue numbers because I cannot find an exact launch date for the magazine.

How would you recommend I proceed here? WaltK 21:43, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Discussion[]

Would the cover date work? It's not ideal, but it's an option. Cookieboy 2005 22:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

I did consider that, but how would it be rendered? WaltK 22:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
I suppose stuff like "TV&SW 26 March - 1 April 2005"? Cookieboy 2005 21:15, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
I'd prefer something more simplified, like using the issue's publication date as a base, allowing for titles like TV&SW 23MAR05. WaltK 03:22, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
