So, as those of you who have seen ''Smile'' will know, this group of colonists have escaped the same catastrophe as those from ''The Ark in Space'' and ''The Beast Below''. One character calls themselves a "MedTech" (I forget which one exactly), which is the same occupation as Vira from ''The Ark in Space'' and [[Liv Chenka]]. With all of these people being "MedTechs", is it worth creating a page simply to document this terminology or would it just link up to "doctor" or another synonym? Just raising this to check what people think. :) [[User:Thefartydoctor|<font color="blue">The</font><font color="silver">Farty</font><font color="red">Doctor</font>]] [[User talk:Thefartydoctor|<small><sup><font color="green">Talk</font></sup></small>]] 02:18, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

"Medtech"[[edit source]]

So, as those of you who have seen Smile will know, this group of colonists have escaped the same catastrophe as those from The Ark in Space and The Beast Below. One character calls themselves a "MedTech" (I forget which one exactly), which is the same occupation as Vira from The Ark in Space and Liv Chenka. With all of these people being "MedTechs", is it worth creating a page simply to document this terminology or would it just link up to "doctor" or another synonym? Just raising this to check what people think. :) TheFartyDoctor Talk 02:18, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

Tardis:Redlinks clearly states that users "[should]n't unlink a redlink unless you're sure that the word does not appear in a valid source." In other words, most things in valid stories can have pages, especially something like that. 😊 OS25 (Talk) 14:55, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

Credits[[edit source]]

I forgot to pay attention to the credits on original airing. Are they exactly as transcribed here? Is Kaizer Akhtar (Praiseworthy) excluded from the broadcast credits?

I've had another look and he was credited. I've corrected the page. --Borisashton ☎ 11:32, April 23, 2017 (UTC)

Enemies[[edit source]]

Are the Vardi and Emojibots really enemies? They were just trying to help and it seems like the Doctor wasn't against them by the end of the episode, once he found out what was going on.

Infobox[[edit source]]

What is wrong with the infobox? All that is displayed are multiple videos and nothing else. Scoobydooman90001 ☎ 12:30, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

Don't worry, I've fixed it now. Someone changed the infobox from the Story infobox to the Person infobox, so I put it back to how it should be. Scoobydooman90001 ☎ 12:39, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

Article missing a trailer[[edit source]]

Emojis not showing up[[edit source]]

A few of the emojis on the list are not showing up properly. Missing are the "thoughtful face" (is that the one with the eyebrows?), open-armed smiling face, the key and pound sterling. 23skidoo ☎ 18:05, May 7, 2017 (UTC)

Probably the device/system you're reading it on does not support some of them yet. They all show up properly for me. JagoAndLitefoot ☎ 23:52, May 7, 2017 (UTC)

Ear implants[[edit source]]

So, The Doctor and Bill get ear implants automatically in this episode. They never use them again through the end of the series. Can we infer that the communicators would only operate on this planet? - UtherSRG ☎ 16:36, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
