== Final warning to all Users about Doctor Who TV ==
This is a one and only warning regarding ''Doctor Who TV''.
It '''cannot''' be used as a source. The only ''Doctor Who'' related sites that can be used are Gallifrey Base (accessible via the news feed on the front page) and the official website.
All casting, filming, rumours must come from media (newspapers etc) and news sites (digital spy) - where everything has a base source. ''Doctor Who TV'' uses sources that are 'fans', with nothing to back them up. If they do have a source, please link via the source and not ''Doctor Who TV''.

:Well someone keeps uploading it as a source and creating rumors. Whoever is doing this needs a ip ban... I'm starting to lose my calm... -114.76.1.117
::The episode 7 thing that got reverted twice recently did have a source, they just neglected to link to it. I've now added said source (a website of a crew member which has a CV on it - a first party source). They don't always report bullshit. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|17:32,10/8/2012}}
== Clara Oswin ==
Is the Mirror really a suitable source? Tabloids print wrong info all the time. The Sun's TV Magazine included the same name in an article, but in light of [[Asylum of the Daleks]], in which Jenna-Louise plays somebody called Oswin Oswald, it seems that Clara Oswin was incorrect. Either they're different characters, or she's not called Clara at all. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|19:40,9/1/2012}}

Despite Moffat stating in DWM and other BBC sources stating this, the article continues to treat The Snowmen as a standalone, whereas Moffat, etc have said it was considered a "regular" episode. I'm aware there are rumors that Snowmen might not be in included in the Part 2 DVD/Blu-ray release, but that's beside the point. The episode count should be adjusted accordingly. (And in an earlier thread, now archived, I also questioned whether the 2011 Christmas special, which we now know is not being released or circulated in any way with Series 7 shouldn't be moved to the Series 6 article instead...

Just wondered, since the series has now started airing, should the relevant parts of the article be converted to past tense, e.g. "Series 7 ''began'' airing on the 1st of September 2012" rather than "Series 7 ''will begin'' airing..."; "Toby Whithouse ''wrote'' episode 3" rather than "Whithouse ''will write''..."?  Or do we wait for the last episode to air before converting the article?  I'd be happy to do the editing; just wanted to check before rushing in there.  [[User:The Colclough|The Colclough]] [[User talk:The Colclough|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 18:48, September 18, 2012 (UTC)

Should ''[[The Night of the Doctor]]'' be considered part of this run or Series 8? [[User:Silent Hunter UK|Silent Hunter UK]] [[User talk:Silent Hunter UK|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:28, November 14, 2013 (UTC)


So, given the season-arc nature of the series, and the prevalent themes that crop up over the course of a season, I wonder if perhaps the revived series' season pages should describe the relevant arc and/or theme(s) present in the series.  The ones that come to mind I've listed below:
== No "doctor2" in this series ==
*Series 1: "Bad Wolf"
*Series 2: Torchwood
*Series 3: Vote Harold Saxon
*Series 4: DoctorDonna, Disappearing Bees, There's Something On Your Back
*2009 Specials: He Will Knock Four Times
*Series 5: Cracks in Time
*Series 6: Silence Will Fall, Death of the Doctor
*Series 7: Christmas, Flickering Lights
Obviously, not all of these necessarily warrant mention, but some are deliberate, relevant season arcs (Bad Wolf, Vote Harold Saxon, DoctorDonna) that have more to do with the season as a whole than they do individual episodes.


As it is, almost all of the season pages are unique (read: inconsistent) and could use some reorganization, so I thought it might be good to bring up the possibility of a Themes section as we approach a three-month hiatus and can afford to do some spring cleaning. Thoughts?

=="Introduction of Clara Oswin" needs to be reworded==
There is another minisode, based during Series 7B.
As I understand the policies here, we don't announce character names, etc until the episode airs. The statement "Introduction of Clara Oswin" next to the Christmas special therefore is improper, plus may be outdated since presumably it was added before Asylum of the Daleks raised a question mark as to whether ''that'' might be the true introduction to the character (putting aside controversy regarding the name, remembering that the BBC has yet to officially confirm the character's name going forward from the Christmas Special). It should be removed and perhaps replaced with "Jenna-Louise Coleman joins as a series regular." With "Introduction of "Jenna-Louise Coleman" added to Asylum's entry - note I didn't say mention the character's name as we do not know yet whether she'll play a new character or Oswin Oswald.

:This is exactly what I said above - Clara Oswin is wrong. Surely if anything, it would be Clara Oswald (an ancestor of Oswin, perhaps? We can only speculate so far). Fact is, her surname is unknown and shouldn't be on the page. {{User:Digifiend/SigReal|00:58,10/7/2012}}

The Night of the Doctor[[edit source]]

Should The Night of the Doctor be considered part of this run or Series 8? Silent Hunter UK 19:28, November 14, 2013 (UTC)

No "doctor2" in this series[[edit source]]

For those who think that the War Doctor should be added to the infobox in the "doctor2" field, here is an explanation why it must not be done:

The doctor2 variable is only for Doctors who actually had a solo adventure in [the] year. Thus, there is no doctor2 in season 10, season 20, or season 22, but there is one in season 21 and season 4. The doctor2 should be considered the one that has the minority of episodes in the season. So in season 4, doctor2 is the First Doctor.Documentation for the Infobox Series template [Template:Infobox Series [src]]
