Sorry, but Troughton’s hat never was a “stovepipe”, and if it was called that in prose stories, it was simply misidentified. | Sorry, but Troughton’s hat never was a “stovepipe”, and if it was called that in prose stories, it was simply misidentified. | ||

Troughton’s Doctor wears a “Paris Beau”, a hat which has a diminishing diameter from bottom to top, verging on the conical, with a rounded top, and a distinctive brim which curls up at the sides and down at the front and back. It’s from at least a generation before the stovepipe came to prominence, and was popular during the Regency period in England, and favoured by the “Aristos” of pre-Revolutionary France.{{unsigned|86.143.62.163}} | Troughton’s Doctor wears a “Paris Beau”, a hat which has a diminishing diameter from bottom to top, verging on the conical, with a rounded top, and a distinctive brim which curls up at the sides and down at the front and back.

:So how we do things on the wiki is that if something is labeled as 'x' in the DWU and there's no conflicting thing also labeled as 'x', the in-universe summary and the title for the page will treat this labeling as if it were correct. Strictly speaking, the behind the scenes section will do so as well, it will just note that things differ in the real world. So instead, we might have: | |||
:: In the real world, some fashion experts might say that it's not actually a stovepipe, as it doesn't have a flat top. | |||
:instead of what we currently have. But we don't usually say that the DWU is ''wrong'' per se. (I've been corrected on this myself, so I understand the tendency to want to say this.) [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 09:51, July 18, 2020 (UTC) | |||
