Generally speaking, we [[T:DAB|disambiguate]] out-of-universe pages while leaving in-universe ones undabbed. That's why we have [[Castrovalva (TV story)|Castrovalva]] while  the undabbed [[Castrovalva]] is for the city. However, this can be confusing when dealing with the in-universe counterparts and namesakes of out-of-universe things, such as [[Tom Baker]] and [[Tom Baker (in-universe)|Tom Baker]]. Therefore, to make the wiki easier to use, we employ the [[T:DAB TERM|disambiguation term]] "(in-universe)".
