I feel that the TARDIS Index File needs major improvement. Some qualms I have:

  • The inclusion of myriad non-canonical sources. IMO this is to the detriment of the TIF as we end up with articles on things like the life of the Master where we have three contradictory reasons for the Master going evil; one televised, one from a book and one from an audio play. We could probably just cut a lot of the spin-off media loose.
  • Severe lack of detail, grammatical errors, spelling mistakes anhd plain misinformation in the majority of articles.
  • Flawed character profiles- Home Era? Race? There is nothing on families or occupations.

Have a look at Memory Alpha for an idea of the direction this wikia can take. 124.184.174.192 03:20, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
