Talk:The Night of the Doctor (TV story)

Renaming

Not sure I agree with the proposed rename to "The Night of The Doctor (Minisode)" as other 'minisodes' use the '(TV story)' suffix (Good as Gold (TV story), Time Crash (TV story), Death Is the Only Answer (TV story), &c.). I don't know why a suffix is necessary at all (there are no other pages called Time Crash with which to distinguish the TV story from, for example), but apparently that's how you people do things here (= --92.24.43.75^{talk to me} 12:39, November 14, 2013 (UTC)

I agree. This may warrant renaming, given that I believe the story was originally intended to be shown on television first, but was released early online. Memnarc ☎ 23:33, November 14, 2013 (UTC)

Sensible. Red Button is TV.

Requested addition

Since someone - without apparent consensus, or at least lack of discussion on this talk page - has gone and locked the article, could one of the chosen few please add to the Story Notes section the fact this is the first time in Doctor Who history that a storyline exclusively featuring incarnations of the Doctor other than the present incumbent has been released? 68.146.70.124^{talk to me} 22:44, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Consensus or discussion aren't required when an admin needs to protect a page. It was protected for the same reason as The Doctor (The Name of the Doctor), and you can find the reasoning at that article's talk page. Shambala108 ☎ 00:41, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

TV Story

Since this is a TV story, why is it not in the Regeneration television stories cat? I'd change this myself, but the page is locked. 24.192.81.138^{talk to me} 14:18, November 16, 2013 (UTC)

Edit request

The footage of John Hurt is taken from I, Claudius, where he plays Caligula. Something of note to add. 86.144.31.253^{talk to me} 14:49, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
