Can The Lone Centurion include "Rory" somewhere on the line so it can be searched for?

Everything should be up-to-date now, though I do still need to clean up some stuff (gonna move all of the SP releases to the bottom of their respective lists). I'm also considering making some further changes, as I'm not sure what makes more sense: to organize ranges by character or actor. EG if by character, I could/should include the Chronicles sets in the relevant Doctors' ranges; if by actor, I'd need to have multiple categories for the Master, War Doctor, etc. I'd love any input y'all may have on this. I'm considering adding sub-categories, so content is grouped first by character and then by actor. So the War Doctor category would look like this: The War Doctor The War Doctor, ft. John Hurt- WD 01: Only the Monstrous
- WD 02: Infernal Devices
- WD 03: Agents of Chaos
- WD 04: Casualties of War
The War Doctor Begins, ft. Jonathon Carley - WDB 01: Forged in Fire
- WDB 01: The War Doctor Begins Volume 02
- WDB 03: The War Doctor Begins Volume 03
- WDB 04: The War Doctor Begins Volume 04
Any thoughts?
And if I go that direction, should I the remove or double-list novel adaptations or special releases or EDAs under the character category?
Can The Lone Centurion include "Rory" somewhere on the line so it can be searched for? Done. And if I do the reformatting above, the Lone Centurion stuff would be in the "Rory" category. Probably just "Rory," though--I wouldn't be able to decide between Rory Williams or Rory Pond.

'Kay, so I've reorganized and reformatted the Index. I managed to find some decent unicode symbols for the dropdown formatting, which ought to display properly for everyone, but let me know if you have any issues.
I've also tried to fix some of the weirdness with the font. If it's still inconsistent, I don't know what else to try.
New format should be super-easy to keep organized going forward. I do wonder about combining some of the extant categories. EG right now I've got all three Master-centric ranges in the "Masters" category -- I could re-separate them, or I could make additional combined categories. EG "The Companions" could contain all of the standalone companion sets, plus River Song; EG "The (Other) Doctors" could contain all of the non-TV Doctors, like Bayldon and Warner. Though the latter case would create some duplication....
Anyone have any opinions here?

Couple of suggestions - could Dalek Universe and UNIT Nemesis be titled as they are on the BF site? So rather than Dalek Universe 1-3 being 10DA 5-7, they become DU1.1, DU1.2, and DU1.3, with Protocol as DU1.0. Also, Nemesis would become NEM1, NEM2, NEM3 and NEM4 rather than 9-12. Also, TW MR 53 has been announced as being titled Empire of Shadows.

The Bay that time Forgot needs amending (but could be a good story idea Mr John Dorney!)

The Bay that time Forgot needs amending (but could be a good story idea Mr John Dorney!) lol, whoops. I ended up having to re-input a lot of text due to weird website issues (for whatever reason I can't copy Hyperlinks here) and redo links, so there are probably even more typos.... Really love the new format - only problem I've found is the 4th Doctor header. Couple of suggestions - could Dalek Universe and UNIT Nemesis be titled as they are on the BF site? So rather than Dalek Universe 1-3 being 10DA 5-7, they become DU1.1, DU1.2, and DU1.3, with Protocol as DU1.0. Also, Nemesis would become NEM1, NEM2, NEM3 and NEM4 rather than 9-12. Also, TW MR 53 has been announced as being titled Empire of Shadows. Thanks! I'm really glad the Unicode characters are working! From what I can tell, there is some variance with how they display from device/browser to device/browser, but as far as I can tell the spacing still lines up well. I am still a bit worried on line length... Later I'm gonna try and see if I can remove the bullet points without ruining the formatting, as that should free up a half dozen or so characters per line, at least. Re: Nemesis, I'm taking the same approach there as I am with the 8DAs, as it "future proofs" multiple miniseries. And, presumably, once Nemesia is over, there will be additional UNIT boxsets, and it'd be weird to have a gap in established codes(?) or for sets released later to precede sets that released earlier. Does that make sense? EG to prevent something like this: - UNS 01
- UNS 02
- UNS 03
- UNS 04
- UNS 05
- UNS 06
- UNS 07
- UNS 08
- NEM 1
- NEM 2
- NEM 3
- UNS 09
- UNS 10
Again I'm looking at the 8DAs, where using the XDA format instead of DE/DC/RAV/STR allows the coding to preserve a sense of the continuity. Ditto with the XDFA codes--which allow XDA releases to always be kept together at the very bottom of their respective lists, regardless of release order.
Dalek Universe is definitely a troublesome release. Right now it's dual-listed: each release has a DU code in the Special Releases category, as well as the relevant 4DA/10DA codes and categorization. I will edit the latter similar to the dual-listed Short Trips to make things clearer. I'm also going to take the relevant Special Releases (just Master! and Masterful! iirc) and dual-list them in the Master category. I'm kinda leaving their categorization up in the air if until it becomes apparent what Big Finish plans for the future. EG it might make sense to use an MAS categorization for Master stories in general (and dual-list Masterful as MAS SP) if it keeps going as a broad range, or concoct additional codes if individual actors (Beevers!) wind up getting their own sets, too. I dunno. I'm also considering broadening the Doctor categories. Right now they only include XDAs, SPs and DWCs... but I could also include the novel adaptations, EDAs, and so on. The question then becomes: where do I draw the line? Obviously it would be far too much to include the individual MR or ST releases there, but maybe everything but? I dunno. A problem with Big Finish's catalog is that there's a lot of overlap, and it's pretty difficult to simplify everything in a way that makes sense....

Okay, so I haven't finished updating everything, but I need a break. If you scroll through the Doctors' categories (esp. 1st Doctor & "The (Other) Doctors"), you'll see I've added duplicated a bunch of titles. Does that make everything less confusing, do you think, or more confusing?
Also I'd really, really appreciate some input on "The Masters" category. I basically have no idea how to organize it. Alphabetically by nickname/fandom nickname (EG "Missy," or "Crispy Master," instead of "Gomez Master" and "Beevers Master"? Or in order or regeneration sequence? Or assumed regeneration sequence? I'm kinda lost here. Not sure if all this fiddling is really helping or not....

Alrighty, should have everything fixed up soon. Managed to remove the bulleting... again, please let me know if you notice any formatting issues.
I also slightly restructured things. So, now, everything should be organized this way:
Category Range, ft. primary actor(s) └ Main Release (E.G. boxset) └ Individual story
Category should be size 5 bold; range, size 3 underlined; everything else size 2 plaintext.
This produces some duplication, but not too much, I think. I am not including any Main Range releases in the Doctors' categories, because that would definitely be far too much; likewise I am ignoring the CCs and LSs because my understanding is that they are not told from the Doctors' POV, and thus don't have any of the "primary" actors. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding that, please; or if I'm mostly correct, and there are exceptions. I'm mostly just going by what I see on the wiki.

...Okay, so apparently there's a character limit for posts here, and adding links for the duplicate entries EASILY makes the opening post exceed that limit. So I will be deleting the duplicate entries, which should by some time before BF simply outputs so many stories that they won't all fit on the page.
