::: I would also like to note that I’m very against "Doctor Who:" titling because we’d end up with a similar situation as ''Doctor Who: Legacy'' and ''Doctor Who: Lost in Time''. There was an old ruling that said anything with that kind of titling should get rid of "Doctor Who:", meaning "Doctor Who: The Film" or "Doctor Who: The Movie" would have to become just "The Film" or "The Movie", and that would be bad titling for this subject.

::::The statement was '"The TV Movie" is the title of the official novelisation and its reprint.' This is strictly not the case. Moreover, I note that the novelization didn't ''have'' to say "Doctor Who - The Novel of the Film". Its front cover just says "Doctor Who". On the spine it says both the title and subtitle. | |||
::::As for the soundtrack, I'm not sure why SOTO chose that name for the bot run. I can't speak to someone else's intent when they don't elaborate on it. It wasn't the original page title. It was changed during a bot run to "Standardi[ze] soundtrack names". Prior to that it was some version of "Doctor Who: Original Soundtrack Recording" for 7.5 years. I'm not sure how this is particularly strong evidence for the idea that we should change this page - at best it's a good reason to change that one. And, of course, even if it ''does'' establish that on the wiki we've been less than consistent, (which itself is dispositive of nothing) it damns to oblivion your idea that the film itself was untitled. It had a title. It's just one that's a headache for us. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:34, 25 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
