I'll freely admit that I'd forgotten about [[T:DAB OTHER]] when I put up the rename template; I was just going off of the precedent of [[The Doctor (Auld Mortality)]], [[Third Doctor (Exile)]], etc. (And my complaints against DAB OTHER in general still apply, of course, but [[T:BOUND]] is [[T:BOUND]].) For a while now, I've tried to catalogue my rename reasons on [[User:NateBumber|my user page]]; officialising such a thing in regards to the Talk page would make a lot of sense, I think. – [[User:NateBumber|N8]] [[User_talk:NateBumber|☎]] 16:12, October 31, 2017 (UTC) | I'll freely admit that I'd forgotten about [[T:DAB OTHER]] when I put up the rename template; I was just going off of the precedent of [[The Doctor (Auld Mortality)]], [[Third Doctor (Exile)]], etc. (And my complaints against DAB OTHER in general still apply, of course, but [[T:BOUND]] is [[T:BOUND]].)

Okay, so I'm looking at the page and it says, "in an alternate universe", but on a lot of the character's pages, it states that it takes place in the main? Like, I know it doesn't fit with the continuity, but when has ''Doctor Who'' ever?

Recent rename
Correct me if I am wrong, but the previous name, "The Doctor (The Infinity Doctors universe)" was in line with Tardis:Disambiguating other realities. Amorkuz ☎ 22:12, October 30, 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, from my understanding of the policy this page shouldn't have been moved.
- It's part of an overall problem where some users are using the speedy rename tag in cases where the rename isn't obvious to the admins that will be performing the move. This page had a speedy rename tag, and User:Doug86 moved it. (I've been trying to clean up the speedy renames, and specifically avoided this one because I didn't know if it deserved the speedy tag or not.)
- I think that we might want to consider requiring users to give a reason for the speedy renames on the talk pages so admins who aren't familiar with the articles in question have enough information to decide if the article deserves a speedy rename tag, a rename tag, or no tag. Shambala108 ☎ 22:55, October 30, 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, supplying speedy renames with (short) reasons is a very good idea. The situation I ran into several times was when a speedy rename had been placed because of a conflict with a character from a newly released story, and the page for this character had not yet been created. In such cases, to understand what is going on, the admin must either be psychic or have in-depth knowledge of the exact new story that is never mentioned in the speedy rename tag.

Alternate?
