:::Think of this policy as the "Peter Davidson Rule" — after the time when [[Peter Davison]] was famously said to be Peter ''Davidson'' on the cover of DWM, prior to the transmission of his first episode. If DWM can make a typo with such a well-known actor — and on a cover that proclaimed them an award-winning magazine, no less — then they simply cannot be trusted as accurate spellers. Spelling is at the very heart of a wiki, because links depend upon having the precisely correct spelling of a topic. Waiting until an episode is broadcast won't completely eliminate our spelling errors, but it does give us at least the '''chance''' of getting the article name correct from the start. | :::Think of this policy as the "Peter Davidson Rule" — after the time when [[Peter Davison]] was famously said to be Peter ''Davidson'' on the cover of DWM, prior to the transmission of his first episode.
