The 'Enemies' tab on the main page is getting way out of hand. I think that it should only have the villains who appear the most, and we can just relegate lesser villains such as 'Timewyrm' and 'Magnus Greel' to the 'Fourth/Seventh Doctor enemies' categories.--Rotwang's Son 12:02, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

It's not really that many, it's 10 one theoretically for each Doctor.
As for 'appear the most'; Daleks are first obviously, then the Master, Cybermen....then? Sontarans come in next with 35 stories, Faction Paradox clock in with 22.
The enemies listed, some are unique to the Doctors, some made their mark, others have interesting well written articles that have a good selection of wiki links that are mostly active off to other articles.
Magnus Greel and the Timewyrm obviously didn't appear in as many stories as the others, but for the Seventh Doctor finding a good enemy that was carried through multiple stories is more difficult, but the Timewyrm article is well researched, as is the Magnus Greel page.
Though we're always open to suggestions to changing things. --Tangerineduel 14:23, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, can we please get rid of the Carrionites? I mean, what the heck have the Carrionites done other than that one episode?--Rotwang's Son 01:29, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Alrighty, I'll replace it with Sycorax as they're a Tenth Doctor specific enemy and the article has a good length, range of appearances and variety of links to other pages (though a few more red links than the Carrionite page). --Tangerineduel 12:12, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
