Can we change the title to Queer Representation in the DWU? Currently, the title suggests only rep that appears in Doctor Who, when in fact, we are including spin-offs as well. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 19:57, February 13, 2020 (UTC)
- While not limiting the title to just Doctor Who is not a suggestion without merit, I oppose Queer representation in the DWU because for good or ill, the way this Wiki defines the term "DWU" excludes quite a few things that we do also cover on this page on par with "valid" stories, since this is a real-world page. (The Doctor's bisexuality in The Curse of Fatal Death being only one example.)
- Would "Queer representation in Doctor Who-related media" serve? It's a bit cumbersome, but the obvious phrasing one might use another Wiki ("Doctor Who franchise") doesn't actually apply to the Doctor Who Expanded Universe since it's, precisely, not a single business franchise/copyright owned by a single entity. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 20:17, February 13, 2020 (UTC)
