Usually, the way we deal with naming novelisations is dabbing them if they have the exact same name as the serial they're based on, and leaving them plain if they start with "Doctor Who and" instead. After all, you're not gonna find another "Doctor Who and the Invisible Enemy", are you?[1]
- ↑ Technically, the DW production team prefixed story titles with "Doctor Who and" on official documents and scripts until around Doctor Who and the Silurians, so if you want to get overly technical, you will find another Doctor Who and the Ice Warriors, for example.
Then, though, I came across Doctor Who and the Stones of Blood (novelisation). It being the only of its kind, my first thought was of course to nominate it to be {{rename}}d, or maybe just move it myself. But then I saw the rename summary user:CzechOut wrote when he moved the page on 14 March 2012: "forgot to dab term these novelisations; doing this one for now; will come back later for the rest".
It's of course been a year and a half since then, and clearly no action ended up being taken on the others, but I think he's raised a valid point. So here's the question: does Forum:Story names should be automatically disambiguated apply to novelisations?
