Use of THE

Someone has objected to use of the definite article in the title, because "we don't include 'the's in our titles." Isn't this a Wikia dedicated to adventures of THE Doctor? Movsar 16:37, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Well from what I've seen, the use of the definite article is saved for when the title refers to a specific item. That's the difference between let's say Doctor and the Doctor. The first is the generic term for any type of doctor who has been in the show, such as Harry Sullivan or Martha Jones whereas the latter uses the "the" because he's the Doctor. The definite article, you might say. hehe
Relating it to this page, I think the title requires the definite article. There's only one Cyberiad, to our knowledge, and the title "The Cyberiad" refers to the specific one used by the Cybermen in Nightmare in Silver.
