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)

Yeah, that'd work. Just wanted to get permission. Thanks. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived 20:38, February 13, 2020 (UTC)

My phone accidently published it before I typed the whole edit summary. Please don't use "retitle" to change a title of an article unless it's for technical reasons (such as putting something in italics, adding underscores to the title, and stuff like that).

On a related note, please note that only admins are allowed to actually rename pages. It you think a page requires a change in the title, use the {{rename}} template. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 20:50, February 13, 2020 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Sorry bout that. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived 20:57, February 13, 2020 (UTC)

Given that the term used in the Fan Show video at the top of the page and that "queer" is not a totally accepted term - some, such as myself, finding it offensive - I propose moving this page to LGBTQ representation in Doctor Who. -- Saxon (✉️) 20:15, June 12, 2020 (UTC)

I suggest LGBTQ+, actually, to include ace people, gender nonconforming, those who don't like labels, etc, but likewise dislike "queer". Najawin 20:20, June 12, 2020 (UTC)
