What is the official name of this wiki? That should be a fairly simple question, but I've seen several different variants of it used. The [[Tardis:Manual_of_style|Manual of Style]] really needs to specify one or at best two correct versions (one for the full formal name and a shorter version that can be used in more casual contexts). And then the various help and policy pages should be cleaned up to consistently use only those correct names. Right now, looking at the logo, most casual users will probably assume the formal name is the Doctor Who TARDIS Index File, but many of the help pages have an extra "Wiki -" in the middle, which makes it rather ungainly. And I've seen all sorts of variants used for a shorter casual name. Given that there are other Who-related wikis out there, I think it's rather important to establish a clear unambiguous identity for this wiki. And, of course, speaking as a copyeditor, inconsistent usage makes me cry. | What is the official name of this wiki?
