Potential rename[[edit source]]
I think the other terms that have been used (4DA, 8DA, EA) are fine as they're acronyms of the series title, and are also commonly used by fans of the show, so they are recognisable. (GALL) on the other hand I have not seen used to describe this series, and when I saw the page title I had to open the page to see what it was actually on. The capitalised letters also suggest that it is an acronym, which could lead to further confusion. I'd suggest we change it to Series 1 (Gallifrey) instead. 0003c9fe ☎ 20:53, February 8, 2018 (UTC)
- I agree with 0003c9fe as I was similarly unsure what the page title referred to when I first saw it. "Series 1 (Gallifrey)" seems like it would be the best option. --GusF ☎ 22:47, February 8, 2018 (UTC)
