 ::I agree with Fractal here. Nobody actually calls that movie ''Doctor Who''. Also, off-topic answer to Aquanafrahudy about Hartnell episodes: I would very much be against splitting those episodes. Not a good idea. You simply can’t hold 60s stories up to today’s standards and ways of doing things.

+:::Ease of search is ''also'' brought up in the 2008 discussion. With the exact same conclusion reached as in [[Forum:Relaxing T:HONOUR]], that the most accurate name should be used, and the less accurate "fan names" used as redirects as this still allows people to adequately search for the article.
+:::This is also a rather extreme misunderstanding of how that discussion actually proceeded. It wasn't "oh, only the DVD used it, so we can just ignore the DVD". It was "only the DVD used it, and the DVD was released '''''years later''''' and it's a real headache for The BBC to have this be the official title in retrospect, so they have motivation to try and change it, but we care about accuracy in the context of the time, so we just ignore that, it's not relevant." By the lights of the ''latter'' framing, the second novelization is similarly irrelevant. The BBC's changing feelings don't impact our policies.
