Talk:Queer representation in Doctor Who
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Can we change the title to Queer Representation in the DWU? Currently, the title suggests only rep that appears in Doctor Who, when in fact, we are including spin-offs as well. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 19:57, February 13, 2020 (UTC)
- While not limiting the title to just Doctor Who is not a suggestion without merit, I oppose Queer representation in the DWU because for good or ill, the way this Wiki defines the term "DWU" excludes quite a few things that we do also cover on this page on par with "valid" stories, since this is a real-world page. (The Doctor's bisexuality in The Curse of Fatal Death being only one example.)
- Would "Queer representation in Doctor Who-related media" serve? It's a bit cumbersome, but the obvious phrasing one might use another Wiki ("Doctor Who franchise") doesn't actually apply to the Doctor Who Expanded Universe since it's, precisely, not a single business franchise/copyright owned by a single entity. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 20:17, February 13, 2020 (UTC)
Yeah, that'd work. Just wanted to get permission. Thanks. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 20:38, February 13, 2020 (UTC)
- My phone accidently published it before I typed the whole edit summary. Please don't use "retitle" to change a title of an article unless it's for technical reasons (such as putting something in italics, adding underscores to the title, and stuff like that).

- On a related note, please note that only admins are allowed to actually rename pages. It you think a page requires a change in the title, use the {{rename}} template. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 20:50, February 13, 2020 (UTC)
Ah, okay. Sorry bout that. Never Forget The Day The 456 Arrived ☎ 20:57, February 13, 2020 (UTC)
Rename
Given that the term used in the Fan Show video at the top of the page and that "queer" is not a totally accepted term - some, such as myself, finding it offensive - I propose moving this page to LGBTQ representation in Doctor Who. -- Saxon (✉️) 20:15, June 12, 2020 (UTC)
