Shouldn't we add other Doctors to the infobox? We have three leads in ''The Day of the Doctor'', the War, the Tenth and the Eleventh Doctor. Unless in this case we're only counting by the latest Doctor. ''The Last Day'' have no Doctors so I'm not gonna talk about that one. ''The Time of the Doctor'' have the Eleventh in lead so I won't talk about that one either, but shouldn't we add the Eighth Doctor as the lead of ''The Night of the Doctor''?, because this would be correct. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:54, November 18, 2014 (UTC) | |||

Shouldn't we add other Doctors to the infobox? We have three leads in The Day of the Doctor, the War, the Tenth and the Eleventh Doctor. Unless in this case we're only counting by the latest Doctor. The Last Day have no Doctors so I'm not gonna talk about that one. The Time of the Doctor have the Eleventh in lead so I won't talk about that one either, but shouldn't we add the Eighth Doctor as the lead of The Night of the Doctor?, because this would be correct. --DCLM ☎ 13:54, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Any infobox that has the Doctor field can only take one name. It was designed that way. So we can't put other Doctors in the infobox. As long as they're mentioned in the article, it's fine, because infoboxes are only meant to be short bits of information, not substitutes for articles. Shambala108 ☎ 15:37, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
