This template merely announces to readers that we've had to make up a name for a thing because story writers failed to. The perfect example is the article [[stingray]], which is about the main threat in the story ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]''. [[RTD|Davies]] and [[Gareth Roberts|Roberts]] did not flatly name the creatures in the Easter 2009 special, yet they clearly exist in the DWU and so are worthy of an article here. We had to name the article ''something'', so we picked a logical name and went with that. | This template merely announces to readers that we've had to make up a name for a thing because story writers failed to.

This template does ''not'' attempt to correct the situation. It is not a sign of a problem, any more than {{tlx|real world}} or {{tlx|notdwu}}. It is saying that there is no correct name. | This template does ''not'' attempt to correct the situation. It is not a sign of a problem, any more than {{tlx|real world}} or {{tlx|notdwu}}.
