# Talk:Turn Left

It's bad style to conceal the names of articles in links to events, so I suggest that instead of the form "[[article name|phrase describing event in alternative timeline]]" we stick to "phrase describing event in alternative timeline ([[article name]])".  As well as clearly showing what we're referring to before the link is clicked, this style translates well into hard copy.  Wiki is a technology we're using to construct an encyclopedia, it isn't necessarily the only form in which the encyclopedia will be used.  --Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 13:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Partly agree, however, the form of "(as referenced in [link])" is also rather clunky.  — Edokter • Talk •  13:51, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
The parenthetical link, "([[article name]])" , is sufficient.  With an appropriate preamble (the current version reads "The narrative turns to the alternative history created by Donna's choice, far bleaker than the established course of events") the meaning of the links in parentheses will be clear to the reader. --Anticipation of a New Lover's Arrival, The 13:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I think it's fine as is. All the episodes are listed in the continuity section. Either as it is or no links at all, I say. U-Mos (talk) 15:36, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I've added "in previous episodes" to Anticipation's phrasing, if only to help make it clear what the parenthetical bits are (and to keep the plot out of universe ) --MASEM 15:41, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, this morning I got an edit war warning for changing it to three-parter and then having it reverted and then... I did some background reading, and this debate has been had before, as far as I can see, and there is no rliable source for either, although several tertiary sources contradict one another. I'm not sure whether it counts for anything, but that week's TV Times (21st - 27th) said that it is a three-parter, as does my episode guide. therea re arguments for it being stand-alone, but the episode's ending doesn't fit in on its own, and the continuty bit was BEFORE teh controversial "Next Time" trailer. RTD had said it can be either, and I personally think that the evidence points towards three-parts. Can we get a resoloution on this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistoop (talk • contribs) 12:34, 18 April 2015 (UTC) 

I'm glad you finaly did some background digging. Simply forcing your opinion by edit warring was not a smart move. Now you have pointed out there are arguments for both, but we ultimately have to go with reliable sources. Since neither stance can come up with a definitive source, we should treat it as a stand-alone episode by default. Also, the fact that only the end ties into the next episode, and the rest has no continuity with the next episods at all, we cannot substantiate that it is a three-parter. -- [[User:Edokter]] {{talk}} 12:58, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
