::::I agree that just using the start date doesn't look great, but I think also including "Doctor Who" makes it much better: "Season 21 (Doctor Who 1963)", "Season 26 (Doctor Who 1963)", "Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)", "Series 7 (Doctor Who 2005)", "Series 11 (Doctor Who 2005)", "Season 1 (Doctor Who 2023)", etc. [[User:Bongolium500|<span title="aka Bongolium500">Bongo50</span>]] [[User talk:Bongolium500|☎]] 11:13, 31 March 2024 (UTC) | ::::I agree that just using the start date doesn't look great, but I think also including "Doctor Who" makes it much better: "Season 21 (Doctor Who 1963)", "Season 26 (Doctor Who 1963)", "Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)", "Series 7 (Doctor Who 2005)", "Series 11 (Doctor Who 2005)", "Season 1 (Doctor Who 2023)", etc. [[User:Bongolium500|<span title="aka Bongolium500">Bongo50</span>]] [[User talk:Bongolium500|☎]] 11:13, 31 March 2024 (UTC) | ||
:::::I admit that this does look better, but I’m still not a fan of using the start date for all seasons.

In all our experience at the Russian Wiki, the Series 1 (2005) / Series 2 (2006) / Series 3 (2007) system has never led to any such confusion. Frankly, the idea that Series 2 (2006) leds somebody to believe there's Series 1 (2006) seems a bit ridiculous, like too much overthinking it. I want to give another example of such system - just look at how Wikipedia puts the season names at their lists of episodes [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_episodes_(1963%E2%80%931989) classic] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Doctor_Who_episodes_(2005%E2%80%93present) new], it clearly works. Same goes for other internet sources - [https://thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/doctorwho/episodes/ one example]. I believe it's traditionally agreed upon that when a year is noted in parentheses, it means the release year of this particular thing. --[[User:Dmitriy Volfson|Dmitriy Volfson]] [[User talk:Dmitriy Volfson|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 07:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC) | |||
