I'm honestly not sure. The way I saw it was — we are taking this to a proper name for this place in particular, not a general cyberconcept of "a cyber-foundry" in the same sense that there are cyber-ships and cyber-controllers and so on. So, the name has to use Foundr''ies'', not Foundr''y''. But this ''looks'' to the untrained eye like a violation of the rule about page names having to be singular. Therefore including the "The" in the title makes it clear that this is a singular name called "the Cyber Foundries", not a page about the concept of cyber-foundries. This is all very esoteric, though, so if you still think the "The" is more confusing than not, feel free to suggest another rename.

== Re: Dalek appearances == | |||
I'm not sure, actually. [[Davros (Palindrome)]] is a different person from [[Davros]]. But [[Dalek]]s is about Daleks as a species, not about any specific group of them. Indeed, genetically different Daleks like [[humanised Dalek]]s and [[Imperial Dalek]]s count as appearances of "the Daleks". I think [[Dalek (Masters of War)]] should be viewed as a page about a (nameless) ''Dalek variant'' from a parallel universe, not as an alternative and equal to [[Dalek]]. Accordingly, parallel-universe Daleks belong on [[Daleks - list of appearances]]. But if we had e.g. a parallel universe [[Black Dalek Leader]], ''that'' wouldn't belong on [[Black Dalek Leader - list of appearances]].
