Well, that goes explicitly against [[T:TARDIS]]. The wiki is Tardis, the craft is TARDIS. The distinction is of course arbitrary, but it's necessary to have a clear rule, given the fact that [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] was capitalised "Tardis" for about the first 30 years of the print franchise, and that capitalisation remains the most common in the 21st century press. The presence of ''Tardis'' in the Dalek movies is by far the ''minority'' usage of that capitalisation. Many ''Doctor Who'' writers seem to feel that it's somewhat like the situation with ''radar'', another lower-case acronym. | Well, that goes explicitly against [[T:TARDIS]].

Small difference that I'm probably being particular about but the case difference is notable and is partially the difference between Dr.Who's Tardis and the Doctor's TARDIS.
Well, that goes explicitly against T:TARDIS. The wiki is Tardis, the craft is TARDIS. The distinction is of course arbitrary, but it's necessary to have a clear rule, given the fact that the Doctor's TARDIS was capitalised "Tardis" for about the first 30 years of the print franchise, and that capitalisation remains the most common in the 21st century press. The presence of Tardis in the Dalek movies is by far the minority usage of that capitalisation. Many Doctor Who writers seem to feel that it's somewhat like the situation with radar, another lower-case acronym.
