From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Well, we should probably create a category first. It could contain the episode pages that make use of verse.

And as for the page title--that depends on what we want the page to say. Is it going to be a list page of some sort? It could be a list of when verse appears in Doctor Who containing basic details about each one. Media it showed up in, character/actor that did the voice and so on. It could be much more comprehensive, containing the full texts. There are also list pages that wouldn't really be list pages. If a page had all of these verses and also discussed the way that this element was used in the episode, then it wouldn't be so much a "List of verse used in Doctor Who." I'd then probably go with "Verse in Doctor Who" or "Uses of Verse in Doctor Who". Verse is used to advance plot, to give a sense of history and passage of time, to colour the mood and so on. It deals with time issues particularly well.

Anyway, I'd go with either "Verse in Doctor Who" or "Uses of Verse in Doctor Who". I think for each instance we should include:

  • full text
  • specifications as to how it appeared
  • media it appeared in (tv, audio, etc)
  • actor/character who did the voice
  • purpose and thematic uses

Sorry, my brain's gotten a bit muddled by now. Hopefully this will be clear enough.
