Well, the whole title is conjecture really, since it's never named in the episode. I would say that "extracting room" seems like a bit of a vague title for a specific location. Maybe "Mire extracting room" (or "Mire extraction room") would be a good middle ground?

:There are examples - [[control deck]] and [[crew room]] for example - of the extremely basic title for a single location. This is perhaps a better case for that practice, as an extracting room is hardly a commonplace. I'd prefer to drop both Mire and spaceship. That said, a <nowiki>{{you may}}</nowiki> for [[extraction chamber]] would be needed.--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 03:09, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
Aha, I saw that come up in the recent edits and thought it could cause confusion. I'll change the page name and fix any links to this page on other articles (there's only one or two, I think). Can you handle the <nowiki>{{you may}}</nowiki>? I've never added one before, I don't want to mess anything up.

:Done. Thanks for that. Just in case you ever need it, to add <nowiki>{{you may}}</nowiki>, you just type <nowiki>{{you may|with the link here like so}}</nowiki> and if you want the text to read something else, you type <nowiki>{{you may|link|n1=alternate text}}</nowiki>. So <nowiki>{{you may|Planet of Evil (TV story)|n1=the Fourth Doctor television story}}</nowiki> for example. Thanks again.--{{User:Skittles the hog/sig}} 03:28, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
: Cheers! I'll keep that in mind, thanks. [[User:KingOrokos|KingOrokos]] [[User talk:KingOrokos|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:32, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Where does this name come from? Is it conjecture? It should be shortened to "extracting room" if so.--Skittles the hog - talk 02:36, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

Well, the whole title is conjecture really, since it's never named in the episode. I would say that "extracting room" seems like a bit of a vague title for a specific location. Maybe "Mire extracting room" (or "Mire extraction room") would be a good middle ground? KingOrokos 02:51, December 31, 2015 (UTC)

There are examples - control deck and crew room for example - of the extremely basic title for a single location. This is perhaps a better case for that practice, as an extracting room is hardly a commonplace. I'd prefer to drop both Mire and spaceship. That said, a {{you may}} for extraction chamber would be needed.--Skittles the hog - talk 03:09, December 31, 2015 (UTC)
