::: Yeah, we should absolutely '''''NOT''''' be merging those pages into the series page itself. That’d be ridiculous, not least because if you take the Classic Who TV stories away, each ''Tale of the TARDIS'' is a story in its own right.

: I very much agree with merging them back into the parent article. There is no need for separate episode articles. Simply link them to a subsection of the primary initial serial.

Dab?
Surely this page needs a dab to differentiate it from the multiple existing things under the same title? WaltK ☎ 18:39, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- No other subject exist under this title. Multiple subjects exist under the title Tales FROM the TARDIS. Similar title, but distinguishable from that one word being different. Danniesen ☎ 19:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
- Well, it's not just a case of it currently being a subject with nothing to be disambiguated from, but future proofing too; I think it would be likely we could get Tales of the TARDIS (reference book) down the line... 20:10, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
Bi-generation
Since RTD's commentary on The Giggle revealed that the Tales of the TARDIS Doctors are the products of the Doctor's timeline splitting, shouldn't we create alternate pages for them as they're essentially from alternate universes? I feel like this franchise's timeline is confusing enough without feeling the need to condense information about characters from alternate timelines on one page. -- MattTheNerd42 ☎ 13:51, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think that's quite right; didn't RTD say it wsd his personal theory that previous Doctors have retroactively bi-generated? And even if he said that he actually, meaningfully intended for the past Doctors to have bi-generated, that doesn't necessarily mean that the TotT Doctors are the bi-generated Doctors. 14:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Merger of TotT TV story pages
Merge tags have been put on Earthshock (TotT TV story), The Mind Robber (TotT TV story), Vengeance on Varos (TotT TV story), The Three Doctors (TotT TV story), The Time Meddler (TotT TV story). There is a small discussion of the merge on Talk: Earthshock (TotT TV story), but wanted to add something here as it covers multiple stories. The merge tag claims they're framing devices, rather than stories. However they have a larger existence than just being a framing device. If it was considered they needed consolidating and moving away from how they're named at the moment, a solution could be making them a subpage of this page. --Tangerineduel / talk 12:57, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- That'd be a nightmare for citations, though. Aquanafrahudy 📢 🖊️ 13:46, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
- I very much agree with merging them back into the parent article. There is no need for separate episode articles. Simply link them to a subsection of the primary initial serial. Aw21212121 ☎ 03:50, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
