: Just dropping in to highlight [[T:PERIOD]], which tells us that we have to uniformly use "[[UNIT]]", for example, not "[[U.N.I.T.]]", even when sources use the latter. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 18:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC) | : Just dropping in to highlight [[T:PERIOD]], which tells us that we have to uniformly use "[[UNIT]]", for example, not "[[U.N.I.T.]]", even when sources use the latter. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 18:28, 19 December 2023 (UTC) | ||
::I myself wholeheartedly agree with this statement and I disagree that saying Dr.Who and the Doctor I plus they are different characters especially when it is on that characters biography or for anyone even vaguely familiar with the classic comics of novelisations (many of which have been reprinted or had audio readings in the audio annuals) not to mention several sources imply that the Doctor’s Real Name is Dr.Who. I am a strong Dr Who supporter. And in any article we should use the name given for that in that source. To avoid confusion we have the alias section of the info box if anyone is confused they can just click a link one tap away and see the alias info box under the first Doctor lists Dr. who (I myself believe the alias should be split into “other names:” for other names they are called which also happen to be their true name (as in Dr. Who and the Doctor) and keep “alias:” for nicknames and false identities I.e. John Smith. Is the whole function of that part of the info box to avoid this kind of confusion? We should just call someone what they are called in that source. On a side note judging by the new Faction Paradox website it seems they are moving away from the name Lolita toward Lilith for upcoming releases and this alias is just as true and Lolita.)[[User:Anastasia Cousins|Anastasia Cousins]] [[User talk:Anastasia Cousins|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:17, 20 December 2023 (UTC) | ::I myself wholeheartedly agree with this statement and I disagree that saying Dr.Who and the Doctor I plus they are different characters especially when it is on that characters biography or for anyone even vaguely familiar with the classic comics of novelisations (many of which have been reprinted or had audio readings in the audio annuals) not to mention several sources imply that the Doctor’s Real Name is Dr.Who.

::: Personally, I just think that having an article switch between UNIT and U.N.I.T. at complete random doesn't serve any purpose except making the sit look ugly and inconsistent to casual readers. Same for K*9, K9, K-9 and so on. And I again insist upon my previous point - having some sections on an article say "Dr. Who did this" will only lead to confusion and readers presuming "oh, this bit isn't canon then." We can discuss Who as a potential last name without having to reinforce it every single time one of these old stories comes up.
