Talk:Trakenite/Appearances

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Is this needed?[[edit source]]

This is just Nyssa - list of appearances by another name! I mean, all the Trakenites are dead, how likely is it we'll see one in a story without Nyssa? Actually, come to think of it, all appearances of the Ainley Master should be on this list! He has a Trakenite body.

This seems really unnessecary to me. CoT ? 14:07, April 17, 2017 (UTC)

I don't know, if we can have separate pages for both Slitheen family - list of appearances and Raxacoricofallapatorians - list of appearances which are exactly the same, I don't see why this is an issue. Xx-connor-xX 14:10, April 17, 2017 (UTC)
Raxacoricofallapatorians - list of appearances must exist because some stories, like Doctormania, feature Raxacoricofallapatorians who do not belong to the Slitheen family. Is the situation here that all Trakenite appearances are Nyssa appearances? More importantly, though, I think, even if they overlap 100%, are there appearances of Trakenites which aren't Nyssa? These are the questions we need to bring up. Perhaps this could list appearances of Trakenites that are not specifically (just) Nyssa, and link to Nyssa - list of appearances in the introduction.

Doctormania does feature the Slitheen? Xx-connor-xX 20:20, April 17, 2017 (UTC)
I created this page because The Astronomer's Apprentice doesn't feature Nyssa. I'll add Ainley's appearances if you want. --Borisashton 14:13, April 17, 2017 (UTC)


No no no no, I definitely don't want it! The point of pages is to be useful to readers. How about we do the same thing we do for Time Lords - list of appearances? Only count appearances by Trakenites that are not Nyssa or the Master and then link to Nyssa - list of appearances and The Master - list of appearances. What'll that leave us; The Keeper of Traken (TV story), Primeval (audio story), The Astronomer's Apprentice (short story), and maybe that Big Finish Lost Story with the Sixth Doctor, Peri, and a Melkur (can't remember the name or whether it hadn't Trakenites).

A decision like that would require a small discussion, not just one person's personal opinion. Xx-connor-xX 14:46, April 17, 2017 (UTC)
Well yes, that's why I'm proposing it here and not just editing the page myself. CoT ? 15:06, April 17, 2017 (UTC)
Ah, I see we've come to rather the same conclusion down here, as well.
