: ''Doctor Who Magazine'' uses ''100,000 BC'', ''The Mutants'' and ''Inside the Spaceship'' for the first three stories of season 1. These are the original names, but that's not how they're remembered. They're now known as ''An Unearthly Child'', ''The Daleks'' and ''The Edge of Destruction'', which are the names that the DVD releases and the wiki uses, so their usage isn't always typical.

::In general I prefer using the correct names for things, but at a certain point the false memory of a community takes on a life of its own and no amount of wiki editors trying to insist that the correct name is something else will change that. This happens with words and phrases as well (cf "begging the question", it hurts me every time). I don't know if "The Massacre" is one we can fight. But there's absolutely no way we're changing people's minds on "An Unearthly Child" and "The Daleks". Erase that from your mind. No. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 16:56, 19 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
