::::::Not to be all nit-picky and grammar-y, but "Last day of the Time War" isn't a noun, it's a phrase. I still don't get what's so wrong with writing a full treatment on this page, where a section already exists, instead of making users go to another page to get the full information?

:::::::Nit-picky and grammar-y is exactly what we need :) I still think [[Last Day of the Time War]] is appropriate, if just because "Last Day" is given as a proper noun in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', but you've persuaded me that it's no longer as clear-cut as I originally saw it. I look forward to following the further conversation on this page. – [[User:NateBumber|N8]] [[User_talk:NateBumber|☎]] 14:34, July 1, 2019 (UTC) | :::::::Nit-picky and grammar-y is exactly what we need :) I still think [[Last Day of the Time War]] is appropriate, if just because "Last Day" is given as a proper noun in ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'', but you've persuaded me that it's no longer as clear-cut as I originally saw it.

::: I think an article like Last Day of the Time War makes sense as this article presents the Time War in a linear sense (as much as that can be achieved) but the Doctor doesn't see it like that, many days throughout the war are the last day. In my opinion, if we were to put all the last days in the [[Last Great Time War#Nearing the end|last days section]] it would be incredibly jarring to readers. Imagine following the war chronologically down the page and when coming to the conclusion of the war you are greeted with the events of ''[[The Night of the Doctor (TV story)|The Night of the Doctor]]'' and ''[[Bad Wolf (TV story)|Bad Wolf]]'' / ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'', stuff that is repeated in its entirety in the [[Last Great Time War#Involvement of the Eighth Doctor|Involvement of the Eighth Doctor]] and [[Last Great Time War#Aftermath|Aftermath]] sections. It would be ridiculous! | |||
::: In short, putting it all on a single section within the main part of this article wouldn't work because the last days as the Doctor sees them are actually multiple events spread across their lives and the war itself. --[[User:Borisashton|Borisashton]] [[User talk:Borisashton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:10, July 2, 2019 (UTC) | |||
