I personally feel at that the links and associated pages need to be renamed "''Children of Earth: Day X''" rather than "''Day X (Children of Earth)"'' for the simple reason that that is the name given '''on-screen'''. I haven't seen ''Trial of a Time Lord'' but I can't imagine that it was on the titles, hence the argument with regards to naming. In this case the episode title is clearly given the title of ''Children of Earth'', and so we need to reflect that.
