What's the base for calling Raxacoricofallapatorians "humanoids"? In the television show, so far as I can tell, the term is generally used for everyone who looks like a normal person. So Time Lords and Trakenites and Alzarians and Peladonians are humanoid, but, say, Alpha Centauri, the Ice Warriors, and the Silurians are not. This seems to be giving a broader definition.

:As is the case for all [[Tardis:In-universe perspective|in universe]] articles, we try to use definitions from the stories. The first paragraph in this article clearly states a definition given by the [[Tenth Doctor]], so that's what we use. The Raxas, Ice Warriors, Silurians etc have four limbs and a face, and therefore qualify by at least Ten's definition.

As is the case for all in universe articles, we try to use definitions from the stories. The first paragraph in this article clearly states a definition given by the Tenth Doctor, so that's what we use.
