:: ''"If it were up to me, we WOULD list An Unearthly Child (TV story) as 100,000 BC. And I have the feeling that we may someday soon."'' I wanted to respond to this separately from up thread, to say I hope not. I feel this would be a step backwards. This Wiki has long used those titles now and has arguably helped more fans get to know those stories with those titles. I won't go into the whole debate here, but if/when a fan goes to buy the "Beginning" DVD boxset, I feel it would be strange if we're referring to "100,000 BC" when the most widely agreed title these days is "An Unearthly Child" (with the DVD, and presumably to-come blu-ray cementing that). Is there no way we could somehow add an infobox or a disclaimer at the top of appropriate 1960s stories page to inform readers that some stories have different titles according to different sources, to alleviate confusion?

: I would like to note that the latest DWM issue once again uses ''The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve'', so I '''support''' renaming the page to have the "long" title. [[User:Pluto2|Pluto2]][[User talk:Pluto2|<span title="talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:29, 6 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
