I think the minimum info that is needed in a fic template, like the title, author, a link, maybe one sentence what it is about, would be in an article about the podfic too, after all for the podfic mentioning what inspired it is fairly central, and the plot usually is the same with an audio version. And if it looked really unbalanced, like, say, for some reason there was some huge kerfuffle about the podfic with a ton of opinions and an editor really wants to cover that and doesn't care about the fic, there could alway be put in a template for "this section needs expanding" and make it explicit that the article is weighed toward one.

I just think that unless there is a lot of ground to cover it is a bit of overkill to default to two pages for every fic/podfic combination, or even three or four if multiple podfic versions exist. Then, all fanworks being equal, another page for the mixtape inspired by it, another page for the fanart, another page for the other fanart, another page for the plushy, another page for the cosplay photo.... And that kind of scope actually wouldn't be uncommon for some moderately popular Big Bang novel.
