Talk:Clue: Doctor Who
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Clue or Cluedo?
I don't know much about Doctor Who's history with the Clue/do brand, but shouldn't British English take priority with the naming here?
For what its worth, this exists; I have no idea if it's the same specific game just with the Cluedo name and entirely different graphics, or a different version altogether. WaltK ☎ 16:59, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- As per most policies on the Wiki, they're only concerned with in-universe information, but the closest relevant policies are Tardis:Use British English and Tardis:Spelling (which are interestingly somewhat at odds with each other regarding just how much non-British English is allowed). However, in this case, I think it should use "Cluedo". 17:05, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Both this version and The Hunt for Gallifrey version linked by Walt both seem to have distinct stories behind them and I see no reason why they shouldn't be covered as proper sources, potentially even valid ones in the aftermath of the multi-path forum thread.
- To this end, my preference would be to create Cluedo (franchise) as a "Real world series with DWU connections" page (using the British name as per policy) in addition to the source page The Hunt for Gallifrey (game) for the currently-uncovered version. Meanwhile, this article should be dabbed, either as Clue: Doctor Who (game) or simply Clue (game). T:SPELL states "In the case of products aimed at a non-British market, their spellings and word choices should predominate" so unless this version was also released in Britain I see no cause to include "Cluedo" in the title.

- That seems reasonable and I feel that, unless if there is a compelling argument otherwise, doing as you propose is the best option. 19:45, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
