:The comic ''[[The Tides of Time (comic story)]] treats the Maelstrom quite differentky to how the Maelstrom is used within Iris Wildthyme stories. In the Wildthyme stories, "Maelstrom" appears to just be a colloquialism for the [[Time Vortex]], as they work identically, whereas the Maelstrom in ''The Tides of Time'' is an unnatural time anomaly | :The comic ''[[The Tides of Time (comic story)]]'' treats the Maelstrom quite differentky to how the Maelstrom is used within Iris Wildthyme stories. In the Wildthyme stories, "Maelstrom" appears to just be a colloquialism for the [[Time Vortex]], as they work identically, whereas the Maelstrom in ''The Tides of Time'' is an unnatural time anomaly that is later destroyed. What I think could work is if the info about the Maelstrom from Iris Wildthyme to be moved to the [[Time Vortex]] page, and this page to be possibly renamed to ''[[Maelstrom (The Tides of Time)]]''. | ||

::That ''certainly'' can't be done. To begin with, there's no guarantee that anything that ''works'' like a DW thing in an Iris story will be the ''same'' thing; Iris, after all, works significantly like the Doctor. And we know that the [[Very Fabric of Time and Space]], which you might also assume is a stand-in for the Vortex, is distinct from it, so why not the Maelstrom as well? | |||
::Additionally, there's an issue of licenses. Even if we knew for sure that the Maelstrom was intended to be the DWU Time Vortex, a lot of the stories which use the Maelstrom don't have the license to use ''Doctor Who''{{'}}s Time Vortex, so we can't acknowledge them as the same thing. (Unless, of course, a story licensed to use both "the Maelstrom" and "the Vortex" acknowledges them to be the same in so many words.) | |||
::I can see us splitting the Maelstrom page between one about the ''Tides of Time'' Maelstrom and about the Magrs Maelstrom, although I feel like the two ''may well'' be the same; it would fit Iris's style to use a random anomaly to travel, wouldn't it? But we cannot cover Iris's Maelstrom on [[Time Vortex]]. Absolutely not. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 09:11, June 21, 2020 (UTC) | |||
:::Having looked at depiction of Iris's Maelstrom in other stories, I think it's clear that it's neither the Time Vortex ''nor'' Melanicus's Maelstrom. I'm in favour of a split between [[Maelstrom (The Tides of Time)]] and [[The Maelstrom]], with the page [[Maelstrom]] instead being about the concept in general. --[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:09, July 18, 2020 (UTC) | |||
