:::Well, for what it's worth people didn't seem to think so [[Forum:The Question|the last time this came up]]. I think that ''context'' matters here: when "Doctor who?" is asked in the context of the religious beliefs of the Silence, it's "the Question", but when it's asked in other contexts it isn't, necessarily. Saying that every time "Doctor who?" is asked it's invoking the Question is a bit like saying that every time someone mentions an [[eagle]] they're talking about [[wikipedia:Eagle (comic)|the comic book]]. —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] [[User talk:Josiah Rowe|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:08, February 1, 2013 (UTC) | :::Well, for what it's worth people didn't seem to think so [[Forum:The Question|the last time this came up]].

::::I don't think these in-joke comments are relevant. We have to draw the line somewhere, and there's a clear distinction between the Series 6+ plot-arc and the jokes. They're not tied to the plot-arc at all. Anyone reading this page will be looking for information pertaining to that plot-arc, and don't need to be confused by irrelevant material. | |||
::::In addition, The Question being "hidden in plain sight", and "the first question" actually alludes directly to the title of the series. If we're going to count the in-jokes as being a part of this, we'd also have to list every single Doctor Who episode that falls under the banner of "Doctor Who". It makes more sense to have this page specifically for the "The Question" that pertains to the Trenzelore arc only.
