Rename[[edit source]]

I think the rename is justified, and I furthermore think the claim that we "always use the original title" is simply not true. Where's our page on Doctor Who Weekly? We call The Eighth Doctor: Time War by that title in spite of the original title being The Eighth Doctor: The Time War. 1 Sure, these are all series, but effectively so is this app. It's just one medium to tell a long series of stories, and as the rename happened while the game was ongoing I think the rename is justified.

I did mean for stories, yes. I don't think the fact that this is "effectively" a series is really a valid argument — if it's a series to the extent that we'd be applying series jurisprudence instead of stories jurisprudence to it, well, we shouldn't be covering it as a story instead of a series in the first place!
But the fact that it's still ongoing is a more persuasive argument to my mind. Shades of Invasion of the Dinosaurs, perhaps…
