Talk:Clue: Doctor Who

Clue or Cluedo?

I don't know much about Doctor Who's history with the Clue/do brand, but shouldn't British English take priority with the naming here?

For what its worth, this exists; I have no idea if it's the same specific game just with the Cluedo name and entirely different graphics, or a different version altogether. WaltK ☎ 16:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)

As per most policies on the Wiki, they're only concerned with in-universe information, but the closest relevant policies are Tardis:Use British English and Tardis:Spelling (which are interestingly somewhat at odds with each other regarding just how much non-British English is allowed). However, in this case, I think it should use "Cluedo".

Both this version and The Hunt for Gallifrey version linked by Walt both seem to have distinct stories behind them and I see no reason why they shouldn't be covered as proper sources, potentially even valid ones in the aftermath of the multi-path forum thread.

To this end, my preference would be to create Cluedo (franchise) as a "Real world series with DWU connections" page (using the British name as per policy) in addition to the source page The Hunt for Gallifrey (game) for the currently-uncovered version. Meanwhile, this article should be dabbed, either as Clue: Doctor Who (game) or simply Clue (game). T:SPELL states "In the case of products aimed at a non-British market, their spellings and word choices should predominate" so unless this version was also released in Britain I see no cause to include "Cluedo" in the title.

That seems reasonable and I feel that, unless if there is a compelling argument otherwise, doing as you propose is the best option.

I hadn't seen this when making a series page for it, I don't know enough about all of it to make the other pages, but if they have their own stories, I support them being used as sources. Cookieboy 2005 ☎ 10:36, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

I think the series page should be at Cluedo (series) with a redirect, but not this page. Aquanafrahudy 📢 12:47, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, the general franchise should definitely be at "Cluedo", while this specific game should remain at "Clue" as that is literally what it’s called on the box. Danniesen ☎ 13:14, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

"This specific game should remain at "Clue" as that is literally what it’s called on the box" -unless there is also a British release. WaltK ☎ 23:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

Can we get an admin ruling on what to do here, maybe? I must admit it's a little frustrating (and potentially causes unnecessary cleanup work) that pages for both Cluedo-the-series and The Hunt for Gallifrey have been made while this discussion is ongoing.
