Talk:Conversion (Cyberman audio story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Dab term[[edit source]]
Is there a reason to prefer "BFC audio story" over "Cyberman audio story" in the rename? Is there potential confusion with either option? This also affects the series 1 page, which is currently quite arbitrarily disambiguated Series 1 (CYBE).

- I think the "CYBE" dab term came from the production code, and made sense when trying to minimise the length of the term. Similarly, there's an ongoing discussion on whether to change Series 1 (GALL) to Series 1 (Gallifrey) at Talk:Series 1 (GALL). (I say discussion, but everyone seems to be in agreement so far) Personally, I support changing all three to their full titles, as it makes it more obvious what the page is for to new readers.

- To be perfectly frank, in retrospect, I should have suggested "Cyberman audio story" instead of "BFC audio story" for the rename. I agree with Danochy that full titles could be used considering that it's only one word. GusF ☎ 10:16, November 15, 2019 (UTC)
- Funnily enough, BFC originated on the wiki in 2011 with the category move to category:BFC audio stories. Nonetheless, as series 2 is simply Cyberman 2, and since only one story so far needs further disambiguation, employing BFC for those two pages alone would be unnecessarily confusing things. Unless there is another audio series called Cyberman (which, to my knowledge, there isn't), I support instead using (Cyberman) and (Cyberman audio story) for disambiguation here. (BFC audio stories would become Cyberman (audio series) audio stories, which is cumbersome, but no individual articles are in there at the moment, and it's a solution we have used before.)
