Title[[edit source]]

I strongly think "25" is the intended title. It's a shot that lingers for ages on the number, it's relevant to what it is and I think it's just a title card trough a narrative device. 81.108.82.15talk to me 21:39, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm not sure I agree. I'm not keen on taking a diegetic part of a story and treating it as a real world title. Yes, untitled pages suck, but I prefer it to extrapolating a title from a shot from a respective story. 21:45, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
It's a narrative device employed in lots of media where the title card will be part of the narrative. I just think from the way it is there, from the fact it's the first shot, from the fact it lingers and the fact it is 25 years of Who with no real reason for 25 to be there in universe. That's my take. 81.108.82.15talk to me 22:00, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
I like this line of thinking. And that is also what Wikipedia has settled on as a name for it on this list. Danniesen 21:42, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
Gonna have to strongly, strongly object to that Wikipedia page being used to support the rename. Apart from T:EVIL TWIN, that specific revision of wikipedia:List of supplementary Doctor Who episodes was added by the same IP user who suggested its rename here.
Even if there exist similar narrative devices for other stories, I don't feel we can just assume that's the intended title. 22:10, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Okay so now that the mini episode has been broadcast as part of the announcement trailer of The Collection Season 25, I feel like we should open up this discussion again. Danniesen 16:44, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Either that or closing it because that rename template needs to go. Danniesen 17:04, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
I have seen no compelling argument for its rename so the template should be removed. 18:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
