Why no synopsis, plot, etc?[]

Is there a reason why there shouldn't be the usual Synopsis, Plot, etc. information or is it just that nobody has added those sections?

Reason for asking: I have the DVD & might (depending on available time) be able to add at least some information to the article but I don't want to start on that if it's not wanted for some reason.

Please note that I can't promise to add the stuff even if it is wanted. I might not have the time or might not be able to write it well enough. --2.96.17.13talk to me 09:17, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

P.S. Please respond here. My IP address changes so often that my User talk page won't be mine for more than an hour or two, at most. --2.96.17.13talk to me 09:43, October 1, 2012 (UTC)

No body has watched it. Even I haven't. OS25 (talk to me, baby.) 10:54, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
OttselSpy25, are you saying that the article is empty because nobody has the information or are you saying it's empty because the information would (in effect) be "spoilers" for all those who've not yet watched it? If the former, it'd be OK for me to write the thing (if I can). If the latter, it wouldn't be OK. (IP address changed but I was 2..., earlier.) --89.240.242.255talk to me 14:41, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
Tardis:Spoiler policy refers to stories that haven't yet been released. This story was apparently released in 2004, so it doesn't fall under that policy. Feel free to fill it in if you've seen the story. Shambala108 14:49, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
It's certainly okay for your to write it. I suspect OttselSpy25 is saying that no one's seen it.
It wouldn't be "spoilers", our Tardis:Spoiler policy only relates to stuff that hasn't been released yet (be it be published, broadcast or released).
You're free to write about anything, and plots and synopsis are particularly welcome.
Also, don't worry about how well it's written, the nature of a wiki means it'll be edited, wikified and expanded upon as people read more about the plot or are moved to find the DVD etc. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:55, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
Right. If (big if) I can find the time, I'll have a go at it. By "well written" I don't mean literary merit so much as just getting the right information in more-or-less the right order. One problem I need to solve first is skipping backwards. This DVD, alone of all those I have, won't let me go back to catch something I've missed -- not in my usual player, anyway. That may just be the software (I watch on my PC) & I have other software I can try. --89.240.242.255talk to me 16:52, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
BTW, finding the DVD might be a problem. As far as I can discover, even Amazon doesn't have it. However, Kate (Lethbridge-)Stewart was in The Power of Three & she might reappear in later episodes (hope so). If she does & is popular, Reeltime might find enough demand for this story to make a re-release worthwhile. The same might apply to Downtime. As long, of course, as the lawyers don't get in the way. --89.240.242.255talk to me 17:00, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
