Image placement issues

Still think the RTD image would look much better placed on the left-hand side; I will die on this hill...TheGreatGabester 20:38, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Edit war

Protecting this page for an hour to let the edit war cool down. Tardis:Don't over-wikify is explicit in saying one link per section, (unless the article has no sections, which does not apply in this case). User:Jack "BtR" Saxon's edits and reasoning are correct and should not be reverted. Shambala108 01:08, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Too literally interpreted. Seasons/Series pages are huge and therefore each section is huge, therefore a link should be there more than once if the thing linked to is mentioned more than once, as long as these links are not too close together and too often. The notion that you can’t do that is ridiculous as it requires you to scroll, something that very policy actually says in the very text of it that linking prevents. Furthermore most pages on the wiki has at least one section and require you to scroll, and those without sections are 3 paragraphs long at most and doesn’t require the readers to scroll, and therefore would not require multiple-linking. In conclusion the policy is out-dated and needs to be changed. —Danniesen 01:44, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
I agree, but hopefully this will be something we can discuss within a week or two on the forums. Najawin 01:58, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
Careful . . . spoilers!

This page absolutely does contain spoilers either about the behind-the-scenes or narrative elements of stories which have not yet been published or broadcast. Please see our spoiler policy for our rules governing articles about such subjects.

Rename

I agree that this should be renamed to "60th Anniversary Specials" rather than "2023 Specials". No further notes. — Fractal Doctor @ 18:30, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

I disagree. As per the precedent of the similarly named 2013 specials. Those are not officially called thus either. The 2022 specials are also such named on the Series 13 (Doctor Who) page, and their page would have been such named as well if they were treated seperately to that series.

Uncertain about the 2022 specials, but I think renaming this page makes sense; the home media releases refer to the trilogy as "60th Anniversary Specials", and this set of specials notably does not contain The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"], a special releasing later this year. However, I do see the argument in keeping things consistent. 13:02, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
