If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
Opening[[edit source]]
When putting together a gallery of different character actors for infoboxes, I think we need to be cautious of depictions in photographs and "home video" footage, for lack of a better word. It's not uncommon for legitimate childhood photos/footage of the main actors to be used for these things; they don't count as "different actors".
I previously made this point for Ruby Sunday's page when someone implemented her childhood photos from TLoRS, but I've also noticed Clyde Langer's page has the same issue. WaltK ☎ 15:01, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
Discussion[[edit source]]
I agree with this completely. I never add childhood photos unless I can verify they are a different actor, but the childhood photo of Clyde Langer definitely isn't Daniel Anthony. There is a flashback scene near the end of The Mark of the Berserker where they are seen running in a playground, and plenty production photos where the same child actor is seen. Also, checking DWMSE 23 credits them as Jon William Carter. BlueSupergiant ☎ 15:16, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

- I don't think so?
Although not limited in scope to Doctor Who Adventures, let me clarify that it must not be construed as applying to real-world pages about minors when such pages are otherwise called for: we clearly do not want William Hughes's page changed to "William (actor)" or any such nonsense.
- I certainly understand the concerns. A baby obviously wouldn't be entirely aware that they're portraying a character, but even that works with the conclusion in regard to influence in the DWU. I would say that portraying a companion on television, even if briefly, is very different from writing into a children's magazine and having an in-universe article dedicated to you.
