The '''Torchwood website''' is a term with two principal meanings, owing to ambiguity about the word ''Torchwood''.
The '''Torchwood website''' is a term with two principal meanings, owing to ambiguity about the word ''Torchwood''.


Its primary meaning is "the site hosted at {{tt|http://bbc.co.uk/torchwood}}". That is, the "Torchwood website" is the real world site for the television series, ''[[Torchwood (TV series)|Torchwood]]''. This site has been active since the [[British]] premiere of [[series 1 (Torchwood)|series 1]].

However, early in the show's run, there was another site hosted at {{tt|http://www.torchwood.org}}. This site was the fictional, in-universe website of [[Torchwood Three]], the branch of Torchwood depicted in the ''series'' ''Torchwood''. During [[series 1 (Torchwood)|series 1]], the site offered a virtual tour of [[the Hub]], case files and character biographies of the team. This content was replaced by the interactive [[Torchwood Mission Game]] during the British broadcast of [[series 2 (Torchwood)|series 2]]''. The Torchwood fictional website was not updated past [[series 2 (Torchwood)|series 2]] for [[Series 3 (Torchwood)|series 3]] or [[Series 4 (Torchwood)|series 4]].

The distinction between these two sites was blurred further when {{tt|torchwood.org}} was simply redirected to {{tt|bbc.co.uk/torchwood}}, where the series 2 content of {{tt|torchwood.org}} continued to reside, at least in part.
