Hi there. I can see you have some displeasure in the Meta Crisis Doctor being named "Corin". For the purposes of this wiki, all forms of media are considered valid, and if the Meta Crisis Doctor has been given this name in a story, then it is this name which we shall be using to refer to him as on pages. The difference between this and the "Doctor Basil Disco" nickname you referred to on the Twelfth Doctor page is that this is the name the Meta Crisis Doctor chooses himself to be called by, even if someone else did give him the name in the first place. I know you may not like this, but the story has been released now, and there's no coming back from that. Please do not change these articles again. --[[User:Revanvolatrelundar|Revan]]\[[User_talk:Revanvolatrelundar|Talk]] 18:52, October 25, 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. Yes, I don't like it. However, there is no call for ALL references to this character to be changed to "Corin." On balance, 3 out of 4 of the stories that the Metacrisis Doctor is in refer to him as "Doctor." For ONE story to give him a name should not hold that much weight. Not to mention that it is a confusing name and most will not recognize him by that name- I personally had to click on the link in an article to figure out who in the world was being spoken about. The majority of stories should win out over one small story in the new book. I get that it's a story that is recognized and published by the BBC now, but it should not have that much weight. He is the Doctor and should be called as such unless that story is being referred to in particular. It only adds confusion. Not to mention that the Big Finish stories are NOT connected with this story.

Revision as of 19:14, 25 October 2019

Welcome to the Tardis:About Oimatchstickman

Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

Corin

Hi there. I can see you have some displeasure in the Meta Crisis Doctor being named "Corin". For the purposes of this wiki, all forms of media are considered valid, and if the Meta Crisis Doctor has been given this name in a story, then it is this name which we shall be using to refer to him as on pages. The difference between this and the "Doctor Basil Disco" nickname you referred to on the Twelfth Doctor page is that this is the name the Meta Crisis Doctor chooses himself to be called by, even if someone else did give him the name in the first place. I know you may not like this, but the story has been released now, and there's no coming back from that. Please do not change these articles again. --Revan\Talk 18:52, October 25, 2019 (UTC) Hi there. Yes, I don't like it.
