as some of you will know, I usually favor an anal approach to naming articles about stories. on-screen, the titles say ''Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day One'' or whatever. (BBC publicity used a similar format.) I propose that we do a rename to (example): 1) ''[[Day One (Children of Earth)|Children of Earth: Day One]]'' or alternatively, 2) ''[[Children of Earth]]'': ''[[Day One (Children of Earth)|Day One]]''. I would prefer the first approach. (and, yes, these do follow different naming conventions.) we can call the current way option 3.

(apologies, by the way, if this has gotten discussed here before. I took a break so as not to get spoiled about the new ''Torchwood'' series.) --[[User:Stardizzy2|Stardizzy2]] 19:16, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
:1) [[TW]]: ''[[Day Two|Children of Earth: Day Two]]''


:This is sort of in the same vein as The Trial of a Time Lord, which we deal with as separate stories with their own pages. Children of Earth like Trial is the over arching name of the season, whilst Day One etc are the individual names. I'm more for keeping what we've got at the moment referring to the episode titles as what they're called. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 14:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
:2) [[TW]]: ''[[Children of Earth]]'': ''[[Day Two]]''.


::I think ''Children of Earth'' functions much more as a continuous story, myself, versus ''Trial'' which splits more easily into four parts (never mind the number or individual episodes) or I wouldn't have suggested the change. (hope that doesn't sound too argumentative.) so do you favor option 1, 2 or 3?--[[User:Stardizzy2|Stardizzy2]] 19:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

as some of you will know, I usually favor an anal approach to naming articles about stories. on-screen, the titles say Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day One or whatever. (BBC publicity used a similar format.) I propose that we do a rename to (example):

1) TW: Children of Earth: Day Two
2) TW: Children of Earth: Day Two.
3) TW: Day Two (the current option)

(apologies, by the way, if this has gotten discussed here before. I took a break so as not to get spoiled about the new Torchwood series.)

I personally favor Option 2--Stardizzy2 19:16, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
