I agree with [[User:The Light6|The Light6]] and [[User:SilverSunbird|SilverSunbird]] above. Calling them Season 1 (Doctor Who 1963), Season 2 (Doctor Who 1963); Series 1 (Doctor Who 2005), Series 2 (Doctor Who 2005); Season 1 (Doctor Who 2023), etc. makes the most sense to me. Google "Doctor Who (2005)" and you'll get information relating to all 13 series. It's how most sites differentiate between reboots, including Wikipedia, so I think it's the best option. If we start going our own way then it all gets a bit confusing, especially if users then have to know the difference between the BBC and BBC Wales.

:But how do these sites handle the reboot? Do they consistently use 2023 or 2024?

:: The year in the dab could be the year (or the range of years) the season/series was broadcast. That would seem to eliminate the disatisfaction with dabbing sesons/series with a year that they weren't broadcast in, and using a range of years would also seem to satisfy Najawin's concern. I still think that a year in some consistent form is the clearest option.

With the new series rapidly approaching, it is definitely time to get this closed. While every proposal has their issues, we do need something. Based on the discussion and the votes table, it is pretty clear that a dab that includes the start year or start and end year of the run the series is part of is preferable. Of these, option 1, "Run year", is most popular, and, of the options voted for, most inline with [[T:MAGS]] which is the most relevant existing precedent. It also sidesteps the discussion of whether the TV movie is part of the 1963 run and whether the 2023 Specials are part of the 2005 run. As such, this is what we will go with. To make this completely clear, here are some examples: | With the new series rapidly approaching, it is definitely time to get this closed.
