For dabed names, would you create [[Person (Worlds in Time)]] or [[Person (Doctor Who: Worlds in Time)]]. Which is "correct"? -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 21:26, March 17, 2012 (UTC) | |||
:Name (Worlds in Time). We probably need to have a broader discussion about consistent use of the term "Doctor Who" when it's naming something in its franchise. Sometimes, it seems, we want to put "Doctor Who: <name>" and sometimes we don't. I've never particularly understood why we ''ever'' do so. The whole article should probably be at just ''Worlds in Time (video game)'', but maybe someone has a compelling argument for keeping the ''Doctor Who:'' on the front? For the purposes of disambiguation, though, there's absolutely no use in the prepending ''Doctor Who:'' {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">21:59: Sun 18 Mar 2012 </span> | |||

I know I have not edited in ages, but I started playing Doctor Who; Worlds in Time, after seeing it advertised in Doctor Who Magazine, I typed in on google Doctor Who WIT (Short for WorldsInTime). I began an account and started playing, it is a really good game. I decided to do a search on here, but found an article had not been made, It is a really good game, in the game, you can play as a male or female and any of these four species, Human, Silurian, Catkind and Forest of Cheem member. You start of in earth and battle the Autons, then Ember and fight the Clockwork droids (Ember featured, in A Christmas Carol in 2010), New New York where you save ood from being sold and Mars where the Judoon try to find you guilty of messing with the time line. I also have not reached starship UK, but that is also featured. Hope you can help Catkind121 23:29, February 18, 2012 (UTC) | I know I have not edited in ages, but I started playing Doctor Who; Worlds in Time, after seeing it advertised in Doctor Who Magazine, I typed in on google Doctor Who WIT (Short for WorldsInTime).

:We're going to need to have a discussion on what "counts" in this game and what doesn't, anyway. We've never had to deal with an MMORPG, and it brings up a number of issues over what parts of the story happen canonically and which don't. Obviously, different players will have different experiences in such a game. So does your run through the game reveal the canonical "truth" of the game? It's an interesting question that Wookieepedia have to deal with on a regular basis, but which our particular fandom never has. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">02:41: Thu 23 Feb 2012 </span> | :We're going to need to have a discussion on what "counts" in this game and what doesn't, anyway.

Well this how canocity usually works in regards to MMOs. For starters, all the quests are clearly canon and aren't in anyway differed by the outcome. As for the players involvement, seeing as their gender and race is changaable, they can be simply referred to as 'an unknown traveller', 'spacer', 'unidentified companion' etc. which you can see acknowledges they exist but doesn't describe their appearance. --[[User:Victory93|Victory93]] <sup>[[User talk:Victory93|talk to me]]</sup> 01:42, March 4, 2012 (UTC) | Well this how canocity usually works in regards to MMOs.

See it has no mention of the player's involvement apart from the background of the mission. Why no mention of player I don't understand as it isn't breaking the fourth wall but this I suppose is as close to how it could work. --[[User:Victory93|Victory93]] <sup>[[User talk:Victory93|talk to me]]</sup> 03:08, March 5, 2012 (UTC) | See it has no mention of the player's involvement apart from the background of the mission.
