::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) | ::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.

::: I'd also add that it doesn't seem that ''Terror of the Vervoids'' was the actual name of the story. It was commissioned as ''The Ultimate Foe'' and Pip and Jane referred to it as ''The Vervoids'', but the novelisation was later released as ''Terror of the Vervoids''. There's "pure revisionism" with several story names. [[User:Jack "BtR" Saxon|Jack "BtR" Saxon]] [[User talk:Jack "BtR" Saxon|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 17:03, 19 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
