I'm noticing a lot of templates (like Companions of the Tenth Doctor) starting to combine comics and prose into a single category labelled "prose". This should be discouraged as comics aren't generally considered prose, as they rely on visual elements to tell their stories. Any instances of comics being considered prose on this wikia should be rooted out.

Some examples of various English speakers delineating between comics and prose:

So the "Companions of the ___ Doctor" templates just need a comics entry added. That's easily accomplished. Rob T Firefly 03:44, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
