:      That's a good idea, but think about how long DWM has been runnng for, 31 years. That makes 31  pages of magazine covers? Couldn't there be an easier solution such as creating it for every era of Doctor Who, so from 1974 to 1981 etc if you get what I mean. Really, creating and moving a new page isn't that hard so I don't get why we can't just carry on with the current system instead of doing the above? I mean, the system already is simple, there aren't any flaws. Thanks. [[User:Ghastly9090|Ghastly9090]] 15:48, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, the first thing I want to say is the the Doctor Who Magazine page really needs updating regularly. Not only are the covers released monthly, but pages need to be made as soon as the issue is realeased.

Secondly, the covers of diiferent magazines are split up into 3 different sections:

  1. Doctor Who Magazine (Issues 107 - 163)
  2. Doctor Who Magazine (Issues 164 - 237)
  3. Doctor Who Magazine (Issues 237 - Present)

As some of you may have noticed, 2 and 3 finish and begin with DWM Issue 237 while 3 should begin with DWM Issue 238. Also, the gap between DWM Issue 107 and DWM Issue 163 is 56 issues, the gap between DWM Issue 164 and DWM Issue 237 is 73 issues and the gap between what should be DWM Issue 238 and the current issue, DWM Issue 431, is 193 issues. That's 120 issues more than the gap between 164 and 237. If you ask me, a new page needs to be created by next issue, named Doctor Who Magazine (Issues 432 - Present) and Doctor Who Magazine (Issues 237 - Present) needs to be re-named Doctor Who Magazine (Issues 238 - 431).

I think that this has been over-looked over the last few years and we need to do the above as soon as possible. This is just my opinion, and some of you may think we should wait until Issue 438 and make the gap a round 200. Please may and admin have a look at this. Thanks.

I think we really need to look wider as to why these pages exist at all.
If they're just a page of the covers, much like the Doctor Who video covers (and the DVD and Blu-ray) pages, then they should just be named like that. Have one main page called "Doctor Who Magazines covers" and then have a sub-page off this main article for every year of DWM, that would keep the naming and numbering system simple. --Tangerineduel / talk 14:21, February 15, 2011 (UTC)
