Hey. So, I'm not a user here and haven't touched Wikia in a long time (long enough that I still call it Wikia), but I couldn't help noticing that this page deadnames a trans character. As a trans person myself, that hurt to read. I shouldn't have to explain how inappropriate it is to use any trans person's deadname without their consent, even a fictional one. I hope the editors at Tardis Data Core will consider changing the article to be less triggering for trans readers who just want to browse cool Doctor Who lore.

: As you point out, Eleanor is a fictional character and we can't pretend that the one story she appeared in didn't tell us the name she was given at birth.

::So as discussed as [[Talk:Kiev]] (of all places) it's been pointed out that we don't actually have a real "deadname policy", we just have [[T:ACTOR]] which doesn't cover all cases. Hopefully Czech meant this coming Monday when he said the forums will be up and he didn't miss the deadline - we'll likely discuss the issue when the forums are up. With that said, I don't think it likely that we'll remove the info from this particular page, for the reason that Jack mentioned.
