Minor issue, but I've just noticed that this template references new series 6 and 7 as having a "Fall half" rather than an "Autumn half". Just wanted to check if the Americanism used was related to the spacing of the template or something?, or can it be altered to BrEng?

White test on very pale blue/lavender (the odd Doctor titles and the season/series group headers), unused link text and the background being the same color (series 6 regular episodes), used link text and the background being the same color (seris 7 autumn), and the footer(black text, blue link text, and a dark blue field).

: Added ''The Flux is Coming…''. Less sure about ''[[The Universe is Calling (TV story)|The Universe is Calling]]''; it's {{tlx|invalid}} at the moment, and we don't seem to be including ''all'' the invalid narrative trailers broadcast on TV, so why this one in particular?

:: I mean, there aren't all that many invalid narrative trailers/mini-episodes (a lot of these really are identical to the other mini-episodes that aren't called trailers, the difference is really just a word), so I reckon they all should be added. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 16:31, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
So we have a new Eighth Doctor story. On TV, of all things. A proper, brand new story featuring the Eighth Doctor, broadcast by the BBC (albeit via their Red Button service) and also slapped up onto YouTube, because why wouldn't they? Massive bit of telly, that. Very important.


Which raises the question: Does it belong on this template? Should it get wedged in, and if so, where?
== Series 14/Season 1 (2023)  ==


I'd argue that yes, it absolutely does belong here, and yes, it belongs under the Eighth Doctor category. Now yes, that presents some interesting questions and problems for the wiki - this is the first and, to date, only time that a past Doctor has appeared in a standalone story, and rather ruins the chronological broadcast nature of the template.
Someone with edit permissions on this page (which I do not have) should update this template to change [[Season 1 (Doctor Who 2023)|Series 14]] to either just plain Season 1 or Season 1 (2023), to be consistent with the rest of the wiki, updating the season labels for classic doctor who (or even NuWho) should also be considered to prevent confusion and make it consistent


But, and I think this is worth noting, this is an important story. Blisteringly important. Mind-meltingly important. This story has ''huge'' ramifications, and it absolutely belongs on this template.

:No. This template is fundamentally based on the premise of the respective Doctor's ''original run''. For instance, we don't add ''The Three Doctors'' and ''The Five Doctors'' to the First Doctor's section of the template. Nor do we add ''Time Crash'' to the Fifth Doctor's part. Make sense? --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 01:14, November 30, 2013 (UTC)
