I understand they are Guardians and use the [[Key to Time]], but where exactly did the name "Guardians of Time" come from?

Right, yes. So. About the name: I do kinda agree that [[Guardian of Time]] would better befit current policy. The Guardians are not ''just'' an organisation, they are a species/class of beings unto themselves, usually defined (including in the original memos) as being the rank above [[Time Lord]]s in the cosmic pyramid hierarchy, as it were.

: I agree that it would be renamed to the singular. The Guardians of Time are hardly a monolithic organisation. -- [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Saxon]] ([[User talk:Jack "BtR" Saxon|✉️]]) 10:44, July 16, 2020 (UTC) | |||

I understand they are Guardians and use the Key to Time, but where exactly did the name "Guardians of Time" come from? I'm just curious as to why this page isn't simply called "Guardians" as that's all they're called in most media. Is there a story where the phrase "Guardians of Time" is used?
