Visual navigation doesn't really work given the multiple formats companions have appeared through (with many not having an image to be used). Also the alive/dead thing, as this wiki is written in the past tense and from a POV from the end of the universe everyone is dead. --Tangerineduel 12:52, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

The alive-dead thing from the POV of the last time the character was seen, as mentioned above the key. I could see good reason for it to be removed however. And I would say that over two thirds of the characters have pictures. A lot of the popular wiki's use a lot more visual navigation than us (Lostpedia, Heroeswiki, Mass Effect Wiki ect.) and I think it makes them a lot easier to navigate than this site.

We have actually been through this (more than once) in the past. All your examples have images across their various sources, Doctor Who whoever goes across visual media (TV, comics etc), prose (novels, short stories) and audio (audiobooks, audio dramas, radio plays) so any visual based page will cut out a lot of the companions and other elements that could be included.

Given the amount of information and the various repeating of images (for TV, novel, audio, comic, short story) it would mean a very image heavy page.

Christmas cheer

Happy holidays!

As this fiftieth anniversary year comes to a close, we here at Tardis just want to thank you for being a part of our community — even if you haven't edited here in a while. If you have edited with us this year, then thanks for all your hard work.

This year has seen an impressive amount of growth. We've added about 11,000 pages this year, which is frankly incredible for a wiki this big. November was predictably one of the busiest months we've ever had: over 500 unique editors pitched in. It was the highest number of editors in wiki history for a year in which only one programme in the DWU was active. And our viewing stats have been through the roof. We've averaged well over 2 million page views each week for the last two months, with some weeks seeing over 4 million views!

We've received an unprecedented level of support from Wikia Staff, resulting in all sorts of new goodies and productive new relationships. And we've recently decided to lift almost every block we've ever made so as to allow most everyone a second chance to be part of our community.

2014 promises to build on this year's foundations, especially since we've got a full, unbroken series coming up — something that hasn't happened since 2011. We hope you'll stick with us — or return to the Tardis — so that you can be a part of the fun!
