Born Again

I would like to re-propose this page be renamed to "Born Again" (source: Doctor Who Companions and Allies). It is also now a relatively widely used title online and amongst fandom. (Also, the very first panel of Liberation of the Daleks says "Born Again. Again." which is a deliberate wink to the first time we saw the Doctor looking like David Tennant.)

I'd consider this a hard "no". It has never been released under any title other than Children In Need Special. bwburke94 (talk) 10:15, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Children in Need special is far too ambiguous. People usually think of Dimensions in Time or Time Crash when those words are uttered. It’s as useless as naming The Christmas Invasion - Christmas Special. RTD refers to it as Born Again in almost every source. He wrote it. That’s what most people know it is as. The current title makes the wiki look silly.

I don’t think them not being bothered to put the title on the dvd release is a valid enough reason to ignore its title. – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.108.82.15 (talk • contribs) .

I agree that Born Again would be a better title. LauraBatham ☎ 11:52, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, alright. This isn't a TV Movie situation where there was a formal production title that's just inconveniently vague, and where, although most of the fandom calls it "the Movie" or "the TVM", it's (arguably) not precisely an official "title". This is just an otherwise-genuinely-untitled work, given an actual, tangible, consistent title in later promotional and documentary material. Perhaps there was once not enough evidence, but given the confusion likely to be caused by something as vague as Children in Need Special, the time has come to carry out this rename once and for all. The redirect can however be retained; anyone looking for a different CiN Special will get Children in Need suggested to them by the search bar, so it's not an issue.
