According to an issue of Doctor Who Adventures, in the comic, the Doctor said that nearly every species was part of the Time War (although not at the same time and not for the whole of the Time War, I think only the Daleks and Time Lords were in the Time War for the whole war). I'm usure where to put this infomation. anyone?---[[User:Sichamousacoricothingmabob|Si]] <span class="plainlinks">[http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/user:Sichamousacoricothingmabob/Human_Time_Lords http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/e/e4/Si_HTL_Seal_Leader.PNG]</span> 16:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
{{ArchCat}}
All the species were involved, sure, because they're all involved in time. Not all species fought, however; take the Sontarans, for instance.


Is there any information as to which Doctor was involved in the Time War? I'm assuming it was the Eighth Doctor, unless he regenerated before the Time War. [[Special:Contributions/82.46.190.172|82.46.190.172]] 01:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
==Shouldn't "The Parting of the Ways" be in the main History section?==
The conventional wisdom may be that the Doctor ended the Time War when he destroyed (or [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|"destroyed"]]) Gallifrey and the Daleks using the Moment. The article as written seems to reflect that.


Could someone remove the obvious vandalism here? I would, but I don't even watch Dr. Who.[[Special:Contributions/98.201.35.10|98.201.35.10]] 00:20, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
However, there's significant in-universe evidence that the [[Dalek Emperor (The Parting of the Ways)|Dalek Emperor]]'s survival and schemes as seen in ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'' and ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'', and his destruction at the glowy hands of the [[Bad Wolf (entity)|Bad Wolf entity]], ought to be considered the actual last battle in the Time War.


== When did the war happen ==
The first quote is right in ''The Parting of the Ways'': as she is about to disintegrate the Emperor, Bad Wolf Rose declares that "the Time War ends", present tense.


I have just gotten back into Dr. Who. Watched it as a kid on PBS and now that Scifi has it, I have gotten back in. In whatch many old episodes i saw the time lords still alive and have yet to figure out when the time war happened. Can any one tell me at least what Dr. fought in the war I know it had to be the 7th to 4th, but want to narrow it down.
The second is from ''[[Utopia (TV story)|Utopia]]'': the Doctor thinks Jack's "ultra-resurrection" by the Bad Wolf Entity has a twinge of poetic irony about it, because it means that "the last act in the Time War was Life" — which shows even more explicitly that such a major player in the War as the Doctor thinks it only ended on the Game Station.  


:The Time War happens off screen at some point after the [[Doctor Who (1996)]] film with Doctor number 8 and [[Rose (TV story)]] at the start of the revived series with doc number 9 - it has not yet been shown on TV, just something that is reffered to.

Hello,
::Best to keep in mind, I think, that human <small>(well, sentient-beings, in a ''Doctor Who'' context)</small> events like wars don't have ''objective'' beginnings and ends; it's a matter of convention, decided upon after all is said and done. Just like Wikipedia would report the controversies among historians of a real war, so should we report that the Bad Wolf Entity and the Tenth Doctor said one thing, but later the Eleventh Doctor said another thing. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:43, June 30, 2019 (UTC)


I must ask this question. Why does this article suggest the doctor implied he played a great part in the Time war(sourcing Dalek) then suddenly following up that he only suggested it because the Beast called him killer of his own kind(Satan Pit). These two episode are not related and did not even happen to the same doctor.
: I had been meaning to bring this up because the [[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|novelisation]] of ''Day'' establishes that there were many days the Doctor considered to be the "last" of the Time War. Honestly, to chronicle all of these days I considered creating [[Last Day of the Time War]] which included the fall of Arcadia, the Eighth Doctor's regeneration, the War Doctor visiting the barn, the Tenth Doctor kissing Queen Elizabeth, the Doctors being trapped in a cell, and the Eleventh Doctor and Clara visiting the National Gallery. Obviously, other sources where a "last act" is mentioned are also relevant. Here is the relevant passage:


Doctor Who IX didn't imply a major role, he outright states he watched the ship burn, then stresses that he made them burn. This does not say implication to me.
:{{quote|The last day of the Time War. That was wrong, he suddenly realised. Because somehow all those different days, spread across his life, were also the last day. Somehow the last day had become millions of days, each of them, impossibly, the last. ''No such thing as last'', something screamed in his mind, laughing at him.|Eleventh Doctor|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}} 


Doctor Who X has built on that admission through implication, such as the Satan Pit, when the Beast calls him Killer of his own kind, the Doctor doesn't challenge him implying that he is right.

In essence, I think this article needs to be cleared up in that respect.
:: More seriously, this quote alone warrants… well, if not a ''page'' on the Last Day, then at least a hefty section on "Last Great Time War".

Also I don't know how cannon a comic book store is to the overall story of the Doctor. I have doubts about the peace treaty that allowed the Doctor to take the Master's remains from Skaro. If you watch the movie, you see that the Daleks judge the Master for all his evil crimes...almost as if they were acting as fair and impartial judges, strange when the Master has worked with them. I think some of the movie is confusing enough without mixing in questionable cannon of comic books. That, however, is mere opinion.

Hi,
 
I have always believed that as the first mention of the actual time war seems to be in the 9th doctors series that either the 8th Doctor (Paul Mcgann) or the 9th Doctor took place in the time war, though I;'m not sure if the time or Doctor has actually been decided yet. That my view anyway, thanks for listening.
 
== Where did the pic in this article come from? ==
It shows an explosion below and a bunch of saucers (Dalek ships, most likely) being swallowed up in the blast and exploding. Was this the Doctor sending an explosive to the surface of Gallifrey and blowing it up to kill the Daleks? I've never seen an actual flashback segment of the War on the tv series so where does this pic come from? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 01:31, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

== Survivors ==
 
As is, this article says there were only two Time Lord survivors. Yet before the Master's return we would have said there was only one survivor. So we have no way of knowing for sure just how many survivors there are. Shouldn't this be 'possibly two' instead?

Look, unless there's narrative proof somewhere that these are "early strikes" of the Time War, we can't use any of this. Even in the 2006 Annual article (which [[Tardis:Valid sources|we can only use provided it's in the behind the scenes section]]), it mentions the story of the war is hard to piece together, and the exact cause of the escalations and the start of the war isn't clear at all. -- [[User:Tybort|Tybort]] ([[User talk:Tybort|talk page]]) 19:27, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
 
: The Time Lords predicted that in one possible [[timeline]], the Daleks would "destroy all other life forms and make themselves the dominant creature in the [[universe]]." The [[Time Lord]] [[Ferain]] sent the [[Fourth Doctor]] on a mission to [[Skaro]] during the [[Thousand Year War]] with certain objectives:
:* If possible, to avert the [[creation of the Daleks]]
:* Otherwise to alter their development and make them less aggressive
:* To find some intrinsic flaw or weakness to exploit in the Daleks

That said, in ''Night'' the War Doctor is clearly only vaguely familiar with the Moment's conscience and can't even operate it, so I don't think there will be any real complaints considering ''The Forgotten'' as irreconcilable.

Shouldn't "The Parting of the Ways" be in the main History section?[[edit source]]

The conventional wisdom may be that the Doctor ended the Time War when he destroyed (or "destroyed") Gallifrey and the Daleks using the Moment. The article as written seems to reflect that.

However, there's significant in-universe evidence that the Dalek Emperor's survival and schemes as seen in Bad Wolf and The Parting of the Ways, and his destruction at the glowy hands of the Bad Wolf entity, ought to be considered the actual last battle in the Time War.

The first quote is right in The Parting of the Ways: as she is about to disintegrate the Emperor, Bad Wolf Rose declares that "the Time War ends", present tense.

The second is from Utopia: the Doctor thinks Jack's "ultra-resurrection" by the Bad Wolf Entity has a twinge of poetic irony about it, because it means that "the last act in the Time War was Life" — which shows even more explicitly that such a major player in the War as the Doctor thinks it only ended on the Game Station.

This would be a pretty major edit to the page, though, so I thought it wiser to write this up here and get a second opinion or five. So… thoughts? --Scrooge MacDuck 12:29, June 30, 2019 (UTC)

This is compelling, but that evidence is a bit in tension with The Day of the Doctor's explicit identification of the Fall of Arcadia as occurring on "The Last Day of the Time War". – N8 20:32, June 30, 2019 (UTC)
Good point, but nothing we can't cover with "another account" language, if even that. All it would take would be to preface the section about the Game Station with something along the lines of:
"Although the day upon which Arcadia fell and Gallifrey disappeared was often referred to as the last day of the Time War (TV: The Day of the Doctor), the Dalek Emperor survived the destruction of his fleet, and......(TV: The Parting of the Ways)."
Don't you thinK?
Best to keep in mind, I think, that human (well, sentient-beings, in a Doctor Who context) events like wars don't have objective beginnings and ends; it's a matter of convention, decided upon after all is said and done. Just like Wikipedia would report the controversies among historians of a real war, so should we report that the Bad Wolf Entity and the Tenth Doctor said one thing, but later the Eleventh Doctor said another thing. --Scrooge MacDuck 20:43, June 30, 2019 (UTC)
I had been meaning to bring this up because the novelisation of Day establishes that there were many days the Doctor considered to be the "last" of the Time War. Honestly, to chronicle all of these days I considered creating Last Day of the Time War which included the fall of Arcadia, the Eighth Doctor's regeneration, the War Doctor visiting the barn, the Tenth Doctor kissing Queen Elizabeth, the Doctors being trapped in a cell, and the Eleventh Doctor and Clara visiting the National Gallery. Obviously, other sources where a "last act" is mentioned are also relevant. Here is the relevant passage:

The last day of the Time War. That was wrong, he suddenly realised. Because somehow all those different days, spread across his life, were also the last day. Somehow the last day had become millions of days, each of them, impossibly, the last. No such thing as last, something screamed in his mind, laughing at him.Eleventh Doctor [The Day of the Doctor (novelisation) [src]]

What do other people think? --Borisashton 20:54, June 30, 2019 (UTC)
What I think? Right now, I'm thinking two things, "bless good ol'Steven Moffat clearing up Wiki problems before we even think of them" and "I should really buy the Day of the Doctor novelisation already".
More seriously, this quote alone warrants… well, if not a page on the Last Day, then at least a hefty section on "Last Great Time War". No questions about it, far as I'm concerned. --Scrooge MacDuck 21:03, June 30, 2019 (UTC)

It's why Template:Main exists. And isn't our wiki's policy that any noun is eligible for its own page? I might be misremembering! – N8 00:50, July 1, 2019 (UTC)
Not to be all nit-picky and grammar-y, but "Last day of the Time War" isn't a noun, it's a phrase. I still don't get what's so wrong with writing a full treatment on this page, where a section already exists, instead of making users go to another page to get the full information? Shambala108 02:31, July 1, 2019 (UTC)
Nit-picky and grammar-y is exactly what we need :) I still think Last Day of the Time War is appropriate, if just because "Last Day" is given as a proper noun in The Day of the Doctor, but you've persuaded me that it's no longer as clear-cut as I originally saw it. I look forward to following the further conversation on this page. – N8 14:34, July 1, 2019 (UTC)
I think an article like Last Day of the Time War makes sense as this article presents the Time War in a linear sense (as much as that can be achieved) but the Doctor doesn't see it like that, many days throughout the war are the last day. In my opinion, if we were to put all the last days in the last days section it would be incredibly jarring to readers. Imagine following the war chronologically down the page and when coming to the conclusion of the war you are greeted with the events of The Night of the Doctor and Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways, stuff that is repeated in its entirety in the Involvement of the Eighth Doctor and Aftermath sections. It would be ridiculous!
In short, putting it all on a single section within the main part of this article wouldn't work because the last days as the Doctor sees them are actually multiple events spread across their lives and the war itself. --Borisashton 16:10, July 2, 2019 (UTC)
