:I think it's a case of "whenever the Doctor is in a story, the doctor variable '''must''' be used, when in fact (at least that's how I see it) it is merely an equivalent to "main character". So, given that the Doctor is definitely not the main character here, it should be used at all imo.

Revision as of 18:20, 25 September 2019
Infobox
I'm wondering why the infobox was changed back from showing Susan as the main character. The Doctor, Ian and Barbara do not actually appear in this story, though they do play a part in the plot. Susan recalls the events which took place while she was with them, but she's lost them for most of the story. At the end, they've been located, and Susan is waiting for them to arrive. At most, we might call the 2-minute flashback towards the start an appearance, meaning those three should stay in "featuring".
Is there a particular reasoning for using the doctor and companions variables even when most of them do not appear, or barely do so?

- I think it's a case of people assuming "whenever the Doctor is in a story, the doctor variable must be used", when in fact (at least that's how I see it) it is merely an equivalent to "main character". So, given that the Doctor is definitely not the main character here, it should be used at all imo. OncomingStorm12th ☎ 18:18, September 25, 2019 (UTC)
