::Maybe a good middle ground would be allowing the use of square images? Those wouldn't look so out of place, but making a shift to full-on portraits might be too much, as far as this wiki is concerned. I don't think using promotional images are the way to go, personally, better to keep it in-universe when possible.

:::As much as I like the portrait images, I think we would struggle to maintain that style due to the type of show that ''Doctor Who'' is. ''Stranger Things'' has a regular cast across multiple episodes, hence most characters will usually have a promotional image or a screengrab of reasonable quality. ''Doctor Who'' changes its cast episode-by-episode, and has been running since 1963, so a lot of characters won't have promotional images; many are also on screen for too little time to obtain a decent screengrab of the size/quality that we would need. Plus we also have the comics/audios/games to consider. Having portrait images on some pages and landscape images on others might look a little chaotic. With this in mind, I would be against using both portrait and promotional images (unless in such cases where promo images are the only images available). However, as [[User:TheGreatGabester|TheGreatGabester]] says, square images might be a good way to go.
