:::The problem, though, is that with the advent of IDW, we have to come up with a good trans-Atlantic term.

If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
In a similar vein to Forum:Audio play, audio drama, audio story, I need to move for standardization on disambiguation in comic titles.
For instance, we now have
but
And this is making the bot's life miserable. It forces a minimum of two runs, or some very clever bot programming, when it could all be so straightforward. I think it should be comic story, becuase, well, that's what it is. Comic strip defines the medium, whereas comic story is more accurately used with the title of a story in the comic strip medium. Moreover, all the categories use "comic story". Since this is such a minor issue, I think it's one in which a poll might serve us well. (Also, I just kinda want to test the poll command.)
<poll>
How should we disambiguate: comic strip or comic story?
comic strip
comic story
other (define below)

Note that the results of this poll will not obligate you personally to change anything. You are not voting to give yourself more work. I'll change things on the basis of this poll, which closes one week from its start date.

- I think 'comic story' works best, because 'comic' seems a little vague to me and 'comic strip' makes me think of Garfield and the like. --Bold Clone 22:23, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
- I would tend to support the original source description as featured on both covers and contents pages which is 'comic strip' in both Doctor Who Magazine and Doctor Who Adventures. Additionally I find those involved in the making of these stories refer to themselves as 'comic strip artists' not 'comic story artists' The Librarian 23:07, February 4, 2011 (UTC)

- Comic story.
- While I see The Librarian's POV and understand it (I think I've used both in different situations throughout my time editing here). The original source description can still be used on article, this discussion is more relating to categorisation and disambiguation.
- Let's though not get into a discussion of what The Forgotten is (would it not be a "graphic novel" rather than a "comic book"? Comic books make me think of thin publications filled with comic strips.) --Tangerineduel / talk 14:40, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
