Before we get too far into the run of the ''magazine'' ''[[Doctor Who Insider]]'', we need to decide how we're going to handle the mini-documentary series on [[BBCA]], also called ''Doctor Who Insider''.  I personally think that [[tardis:disambiguation policy|disambiguation policy]] would say that they both should be disambiguated — hence [[Doctor Who Insider (magazine)]] and [[Doctor Who Insider (documentary)]].  Anyone got any particularly strong feelings in another direction?  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''00:49:31 Tue&nbsp;'''07 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>

:The documentary series is titled "Doctor Who: Insider" (with the colon) on BBCA's official YouTube.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQyf4oDJFQE], or simply "Insider" on BBCA's own site [http://videos.bbcamerica.com/video/27982471001/Doctor-Who/836176502001/Season-6/930877509001/Doctor-Who-Insider-Ep-2--Karen-Gillan-on-Guns-Body-Bags/]. Perhaps either of those titles would be enough to keep the two articles distinct, with the standard "you may be looking for" line atop each article pointing to the other?

::Problem is, though, there's no colon in the acutal logo that appears on the programme itself.  I don't think we can insert a colon just on the basis of a YouTube labelling, even if it ''is'' the official channel.  Neither the doc or mag logos have a colon.  Anyone got a scan of the [[indicia]] of an issue of the magazine?  Does the official name of the magazine have a colon or a dash or anything?  I also don't think we can use just ''Insider'', because it's only called that on the part of the BBCA webiste that's already dedicated to DW.  Thus, in that context, the ''Doctor Who'' is redundant.  I say if the indicia of the magazine doesn't give us any kind of punctuation, then we've got two equal names, and we've got to go to parenthetical disambiguation.  Anyone else got a thought? {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}&nbsp;<span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">'''17:33:45 Fri&nbsp;'''10 Jun 2011&nbsp;</span>
