- I think 'race' is generally used to refer to sentient creatures, which would limit that category to Daleks, Thals, Kaled humanoids, apocryphally Dals, and exclude the Magnedons, Terrorkons, Vaaga plants, etc. I would use 'Species native to Skaro' as the category title.

- the first Daleks story gave the "official" name, which I forget.
- "Species native to Skaro" seem like the best name to me. Of course, I'm always against these really specific categories. Azes13 19:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
