Right, yes. So. About the name: I do kinda agree that [[Guardian of Time]] would better befit current policy.

I understand they are Guardians and use the Key to Time, but where exactly did the name "Guardians of Time" come from? I'm just curious as to why this page isn't simply called "Guardians" as that's all they're called in most media. Is there a story where the phrase "Guardians of Time" is used?

The Quantum Archangel, chapter six, the Master calls them that. "The Guardians of Time? They will thank me for ridding the multiverse of their bastard children, the Chronovores." P&P talk contribs 20:21, May 1, 2015 (UTC)
