TV movie? Frontier in Space
Since the TV movie begins on Skaro, features the voice of the Daleks, and the Daleks are mentioned by name later, is there any reason why it shouldn't be included? Similarly why isn't Frontier in Space listed? Any objections if I add them? 23skidoo 04:10, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- They are Appearances so they should be added Dark Lord Xander 04:19, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if I goofed and forgot to include the TV movie with Frontier or if someone took it out. I've added the TV movie to the template (again?) at any rate. 23skidoo 05:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Pandorica?
Should "The Pandorica Opens" be counted as a minor appearence instead? I would venture to say "The Big Bang" is, also. They're not the major villians of the episode. Glimmer721 17:13, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
Bad Wolf - Major?!
I think Bad Wolf should be a minor appearance. True, they are the cliffhanger at the end, but that is also what happens in both Frontier in Space and Army of Ghosts, and both of those are minor... -184.45.111.41talk to me 19:30, May 24, 2013 (UTC)
What makes a "Dalek story"?
I wanted to open up a debate about removing certain stories due to the questionable criteria of what qualifies as a "Dalek story", as opposed to a television story that features the Daleks.
By the reasoning that I understand from other "villain story templates" (pat pending), a "(villain) story" is one where said enemy has a major role in which the story does not work without them, or, plain simple, they are the sole antagonist. Stories in which they serve as a cameo appearance or as a minor threat, or appear only through archive footage, are instead put on their complete appearance pages.
As such, I have listed a handful of stories I believe should not be on the "villain story template" for the following reasons;
- Cameo: The Space Museum • Doctor Who • Army of Ghosts • The Wedding of River Song • Hell Bent
- Minor player: The Five Doctors • The Waters of Mars • The Pilot
- Archive footage/Images: The Man from MI.5 • The Wheel in Space • The Lie of the Land
I eagerly await a counter argument for this debates, Sincerely, BananaClownMan 04:34, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
