::: 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.

::::My understanding is that ''all'' the "stories" of season 23 were named conjecturally based on the novelisation. Similarly, Najawin I'll note that "An Unearthly Child" unambiguously refers to the first episode of the serial either way, and allowing episode pages a la comic book episode pages, in addition to properly-named serial pages, might let us square that circle while also going into more detail in our coverage (see [[User:NateBumber#Ideas]] for elaboration). But we're drifting ''way'' off-topic here; let's save it for the forum thread. The fact is that ''The Massacre'' is much more straight-forward than any of these other cases, as it's a simple abbreviation of the proper name rather than something wholly different. I don't think there's any theoretical or practical reason standing in the way of adoption. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 17:23, 19 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
