:: Or, to be more informal, if you say 'the Rani', most fans will say 'renegade Time Lord, played by Kate O'Mara, chemist, odd dress sense, Pip 'n' Jane' etc. Whereas if you say 'Ushas' the majority even of Dr Who fans will probably say 'who's that then?' (or 'gezundheit', and offer you a handkerchief...) --[[User:Gai-jin|Gai-jin]] 15:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC) | :: Or, to be more informal, if you say 'the Rani', most fans will say 'renegade Time Lord, played by Kate O'Mara, chemist, odd dress sense, Pip 'n' Jane' etc. Whereas if you say 'Ushas' the majority even of Dr Who fans will probably say 'who's that then?'

In general, all this is current policy. [[The Master]] is "the Master", [[the Rani]] is "the Rani". But we've had a subsequent [[Forum:Mortimus name change|discussion]] to decide that [[the Monk]] is "the Monk". These Time Lords can of course have redirects for names gained in other media. See [[Tardis:Manual of Style#Referring to certain characters]] for more. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''21:24:26 Sun '''05 Jun 2011 </span> |
