Hey. So, I'm not a user here and haven't touched Wikia in a long time (long enough that I still call it Wikia), but I couldn't help noticing that this page deadnames a trans character. As a trans person myself, that hurt to read. I shouldn't have to explain how inappropriate it is to use any trans person's deadname without their consent, even a fictional one. I hope the editors at Tardis Data Core will consider changing the article to be less triggering for trans readers who just want to browse cool Doctor Who lore.

: As you point out, Eleanor is a fictional character and we can't pretend that the one story she appeared in didn't tell us the name she was given at birth. [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Jack "BtR" Saxon]] [[User talk:Jack "BtR" Saxon|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:51, 24 November 2022 (UTC) | |||
