: Don't get me wrong I understand that and really i guess it just comes down to preference as well as a navigation issue when you type doctor who into the wiki you would expect to go to either the main summary of the series or the character, whilst if you typed in tv movie or a veriation of that you would expect to be directed in this articles direction. Ultimately if you really want to change it then i won't stop you but really it's just what people in general think we should do that matters and as long as you have people that are opposed to this move the disagrement will continue.

::Yeah, but changing the name of the article doesn't affect navigability. Moving the article name maintains the previous links to [[Doctor Who: The TV Movie]]. In fact, I would argue that ''additional'' redirects be created for [[Doctor Who: The Movie]] and [[Doctor Who: The TV movie]] and even [[The TV Movie]], [[the TV movie]], and [[the television movie]] are called for. Typing "Doctor Who" into the search box won't bring up [[Doctor Who (1996)]], but rather the [[Doctor Who|general series page]] | |||
::[I personally would argue that it ''should'' bring up a disambig page, because the three series are sufficiently distinct from each other that they should all have their own pages, along with a page for [[Doctor Who (character)]], which ''was'' the assumed to be a titular character for much of the first four Doctors' eras. It's still the assumed name by the general public, as evidenced by interviewers referring to David Tennant as "Doctor Who". But that's a separate issue, and it would honestly wreak havoc on the wiki to make such a change.] | |||
::The point is, the title of the page should be the most accurate name, while common, colloquial variants can be redirected there. As it is, the situation is precisely reversed.
