Doctors
Shouldn't we add other Doctors to the infobox? We have three leads in The Day of the Doctor, the War, the Tenth and the Eleventh Doctor. Unless in this case we're only counting by the latest Doctor. The Last Day have no Doctors so I'm not gonna talk about that one. The Time of the Doctor have the Eleventh in lead so I won't talk about that one either, but shouldn't we add the Eighth Doctor as the lead of The Night of the Doctor?, because this would be correct. --DCLM ☎ 13:54, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Any infobox that has the Doctor field can only take one name. It was designed that way. So we can't put other Doctors in the infobox. As long as they're mentioned in the article, it's fine, because infoboxes are only meant to be short bits of information, not substitutes for articles. Shambala108 ☎ 15:37, November 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Given a renewed interest to this question, let me give a more detailed answer. As explained in Template:Infobox Story/doc/TV story, the “Doctor” variable is reserved for the current Doctor. Situations with multiple current Doctors within one series/season are rare but exist, for instance, Season 4, where a regeneration happened midseason. But this specials season is not one of those cases. Amorkuz ☎ 18:20, December 30, 2017 (UTC)
- Agreed. Makes the most sense to me. Snivystorm ☎ 18:29, December 30, 2017 (UTC)
