rationale for move
no one on Torchwood calls it anything except "the Rift", so I changed it. obviously not the only time rift in Wholand, of course. --Stardizzy2 23:00, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
- Except the problem is that you didn't change/move it, you copied the information from one page to another, therefore not preserving the page history (which is the only way we can track changes in the page right back through its edits). In future please request an admin to perform a merger of articles (which involves deleting, undeleting and moving the articles in order to combine the page histories).

I understand the reasoning for the first move. While Cardiff rift identifies it specifically when talking broadly in the Whoniverse, the Rift, with the definite article and a capital R, is how it is referred locally and, to date, perhaps the only way it has been referred. "Space-Time Rift" is odd when identifying a specific time rift and "the Cardiff Space-Time Rift" is just a mass of unneeded syllables. What other Cardiff rifts are there? --Nyktimos 21:29, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
- Moving The Cardiff Space-Time Rift to Cardiff Space-Time Rift in keeping with article naming conventions; no "the" is necessary. Rob T Firefly 01:16, March 16, 2010 (UTC)
