I understand the reasoning for the first move. While [[Cardiff rift]] identifies it specifically when talking broadly in the Whoniverse, [[the Rift]], with the definite article and a capital R, is how it is referred locally and, to date, perhaps the ''only'' way it has been referred. "[[Space-Time Rift]]" is odd when identifying a specific [[time rift]] and "[[the Cardiff Space-Time Rift]]" is just a mass of unneeded syllables. What other Cardiff rifts are there? --[[User:Nyktimos|Nyktimos]] 21:29, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

rationale for move

no one on Torchwood calls it anything except "the Rift", so I changed it. obviously not the only time rift in Wholand, of course. --Stardizzy2 23:00, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
