Protection

Is it really appropriate that this page be protected for an entire year?--75.49.216.182 11:26, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

• Yes. Just because it's a miniepisode doesn't mean vandals won't attack it. --The Thirteenth Doctor 00:55, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
  • Okay then, a couple weeks or a month seems appropriate. As an unregistered contributor, unable to log in in my current position, am I really not allowed to edit anything that was released over the past year?--75.49.216.182 05:34, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
    • If you really think that it isn't appropriate, then please take this up in the forums. But I personally do think it is appropriate. Even if you are a regular contributor, you are still unregistered. We don't know that it's always you as IP addresses change frequently. So if a vandal comes along one day and vandalises, they can be blocked, but then the next day they could have another IP address and vandalise again. If you really want to edit these pages then I suggest you do register. The reason for it being a year is because vandals will want to get as much attention as possible to ruin the wiki. Vandalising pages from a year ago doesn't do much, because nearly everyone has seen the episodes and knows whether it is true or not. However, if we only locked it for a week or so, they could then edit this, and anyone who came and looked at this page could see whatever the vandal placed here. That's why we lock it for a year. --The Thirteenth Doctor 16:03, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Numbering

Does this really count as a new story? None of the Children in Need Specials did, and yet Time/Space counts as two for some reason. If anything, it should be 214a and 214b, but in reality neither would be more consistent.

• Which Children In Need Special didn't we count? --The Thirteenth Doctor 14:35, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

• • None of them count towards the story counter. Parting of the Ways (166b) leads directly towards Christmas Invasion (167) and Time Crash skips right between the Utopia/Last of the Time Lords arc to Voyage of the Damned, with the story number replaced with 'Children in Need special'. Therein, the logical thing to do would be to have this simply say 'Comic Relief Special' in the story number slot.
    • I see what you mean now. Yes, they didn't count as individual stories, but each of them were in-between two specific episodes, hence they could be numbered with a and b. This one, however, has no placement, and has it's own plot too. But I see what you mean. I'd number them as a + b episodes after the Christmas Carol number. --The Thirteenth Doctor 00:55, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Logopolis

Was there a space loop in Logopolis? I haven't seen it in a while, but I thought that it was just the Master's Tardis parked inside of the Doctor's Tardis, and a real police box inside of the Master's Tardis. Unless there is a Tardis parked inside of itsself, then it isn't really a spaace loop.Icecreamdif 22:12, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

I kind of understand what you mean. If it's just a police box inside the Master's TARDIS and the Master's TARDIS inside the Doctor's, then that wouldn't be a space loop. However, if it was The Master's in the Doctor's and the Doctor's in the Master's, then that would be a space loop. It would have the same principle, but simply with two rooms to switch into, instead of just one. They still wouldn't be able to escape either of the TARDISes, so would be a space loop. --The Thirteenth Doctor 00:55, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, it was never referred to as a space loop, but it was a recursive loop of TARDISes within TARDISes.----Skittles the hog--Talk 16:20, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Suggested additions

As an IP unable to log in and, therefore, edit, I'd like to suggest somewhere in the story notes section the fact be added that unlike the last Comic Relief DW special, Curse of Fatal Death, that Space and Time are considered canon as per Moffat's comments in DWM. Also, the question Amy brings up at the start never is resolved and several fan sites are reporting that Moffat has said that this is important and will be addressed in Series 6. One other addition request: the opening credits are actually slightly longer than usual; normally, we don't get to see the time vortex without the TARDIS in it for so long - it's something we see at the end of The Big Bang, but never at the start of Smith-era episode until now. Go ahead, look them up to compare. 68.146.64.9 06:14, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Typos

Even though I logged in, I cannot seem to edit the page. The last bullet under CONTINUITY has the word, "travles." It should be "travels." --Who is Dr. Who? 17:53, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
