From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

I've now moved these titles, with the following exceptions. I'll be adding on to this list as I slowly vet each proposed page move.

Doctor Who: A New Dimension A New Dimension

Redirect of the below
Hard to argue for deletion when you're confronted with this

Doctor Who: A New Dimension (CON episode) A New Dimension (CON episode) Doctor Who: Origins Origins Doctor Who: Rewind Rewind

Not touching, because it's the onscreen title. The main reason for dropping "Doctor Who:" in this exercise is because it's usually just a bit of branding on the cover. This is different. It's demonstrably the name on the title card, not just the logo on the cover or frontispiece.

Alien Armies Alien Armies (trading cards)

Pointless redirect of Alien Armies which needs to be deleted (TBD)

Doctor Who: Battles in Time (Comic Strip) Battles in Time (Comic Strip) Doctor Who: Battles in Time (Magazine) Battles in Time (Magazine) Doctor Who: Battles in Time (Trading Cards) Battles in Time (Trading Cards) Doctor Who: Battles in Time (comic strip) Battles in Time (comic strip)

TBD

Doctor Who: Cybermen Cybermen Doctor Who: Endgame Endgame Doctor Who: Regeneration Regeneration

Retaining, because in these cases Doctor Who: disambiguates

Doctor Who: Destiny of the Doctors Doctor Who: Evacuation Earth Doctor Who: Here Come the Monsters

TBD

Intergalactic Survival Guide Intergalactic Survival Guide Intergalactic Survival Guide (2) Intergalactic Survival Guide (2)

already moved — the (2) thing is pointless and already deleted

Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack: Series 4- The Specials Original Television Soundtrack: Series 4- The Specials

TBD (typo)

Doctor Who: Original Television Soundtrack: The Specials Original Television Soundtrack: The Specials

This will be moved, and the Doctor Who: version will be retained, but all present links will be changed to Doctor Who - Series 4 - The Specials. These damned soundtrack albums have such verbose titles! We need to have a lot of redirects to them so as to facilitate searching.

Doctor Who - Original Soundtrack: Series 3 Original Soundtrack: Series 3 Doctor Who - Original Soundtrack: Series 4 Original Soundtrack: Series 4 Doctor Who - Original Soundtrack Recording Original Soundtrack Recording Doctor Who - Original Television Soundtrack Original Television Soundtrack

Pointless to move; redirects

Doctor Who: Return to Earth Return to Earth Doctor Who: The Beginning Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock The Eternity Clock Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock (video game) The Eternity Clock (video game)

Already changed

Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia The Encyclopedia

Keeping, primarily for dab's sake. This would be confusing in the light of Torchwood: The Encyclopedia and Encyclopedia of The Worlds of Doctor Who: A-D, et al. (Note to self: in a separate run, all these "Encyclopedia of The Worlds" things need to be moved to "Encyclopedias of the Worlds", and an article needs to be created at Encyclopedias of the Worlds of Doctor Who as a simple dab page.)

Doctor Who: The First Adventure is moving to The First Adventure (video game)

Therefore, a redirect needs to be created at The First Adventure, as is standard for this sorta situation.

Doctor Who: The Last Time Lord The Last Time Lord

Not touching, because this was written when there wasn't a show on, and therefore this couldn't have been a "logo" situation. The full name unambiguously includes "Doctor Who:" (And knowing RTD, he actually was using Doctor Who as the name of the character.)

Doctor Who - The Handbook: The Fifth Doctor The Handbook: The Fifth Doctor Doctor Who - The Handbook: The First Doctor The Handbook: The First Doctor Doctor Who - The Handbook: The Fourth Doctor The Fourth Doctor Handbook Doctor Who - The Handbook: The Second Doctor The Handbook: The Second Doctor Doctor Who - The Handbook: The Seventh Doctor The Handbook: The Seventh Doctor Doctor Who - The Handbook: The Sixth Doctor The Handbook: The Sixth Doctor Doctor Who - The Handbook: The Third Doctor The Handbook: The Third Doctor

I'm just not touching these. The typography of the frontispiece and back page cover is clear that the full title is "DOCTOR WHO THE HANDBOOK", with smaller type for the particular Doctor. We've already got redirects at The Sixth Doctor Handbook, et al. The Handbook: The Xth Doctor might be a secondary redirect, I guess, but I'm not comfy making it the actual, technical PAGENAME.

Doctor Who - Special Effects

moving to Doctor Who Special Effects. It's not mean to be separated by punctuation like that. It's Doctor Who Special Effects in the sense of "special effects found on Doctor Who".

Doctor Who - The Lost Episodes The Lost Episodes

Not touching, because there was no logo branding here. This was an audio documentary, and the words "Doctor Who" were heard in all advertising in the run up to transmission and were seen on website.

Doctor Who: The Movie The Movie

Pointless to move, because it's just a redirect. If anything Doctor Who: The Movie should just be deleted to future proof the site against an actual theatrical film.

Doctor Who: The TV Movie The TV Movie Doctor Who: The TV movie The TV movie

Pointless to move these redirects either

Doctor Who: The Script of the Film The Script of the Film

Because we are going to move to Doctor Who-less names here, having a redirect at the colon version of the name is pointless.

Doctor Who: The Scripts

The overview page won't move, because the Doctor Who: bit is a useful distinguisher given the presence of Dalek Empire: The Scripts, an article that we don't, but should, have. All of the constituent books in this series, however, will move to Name (script) in the same way that we use (novelisation) even though novelisation is not part of the actual title. A script is just another medium so to bring all these scripts into harmony with our overall naming practices, we'll just veer away slightly from a literal title in this instance. Also, as a note to self, I'm going to have to add a line in {{Infobox Story}} to accommodate a script link.

Doctor Who - Frederick Muller Frederick Muller

These will have to merged with everything being redirected to Frederick Muller. I'm not sure why these developed as separate articles cause there's practically no difference in the information covered. It should be like how Target novelisation (the nominal range) redirects to Target Books (the publisher) — except there is no real name for the series cause Muller didn't get far enough in their publishing to have a range, per se.

Doctor Who - Variations on a Theme Variations on a Theme

This should be kept with the Doctor Who: prefix, because it's about the theme music called "Doctor Who".

Doctor Who: David Tennant and the Regeneration Years 2005-2010

Deleted redirect

Doctor Who - Series 1 and 2 Original Television Soundtrack Doctor Who - A Christmas Carol Original Television Soundtrack: A Christmas Carol Doctor Who - Series 3 Original Television Soundtrack: Series 3 Doctor Who - Series 4 Original Television Soundtrack: Series 4 Doctor Who - Series 4 - The Specials Original Television Soundtrack: Series 4 - The Specials Doctor Who - Series 5 Original Television Soundtrack: Series 5 Doctor Who - Series 6 Original Television Soundtrack: Series 6

Blah. I hate soundtrack naming. It's just so cumbersome. But in fact we have to keep the Doctor Who: prefix because of the presence of Torchwood - Series 1 and 2 and Torchwood: Original Television Soundtrack - Children of Earth, articles we don't have yet, but should.

The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter The Writer's Tale: The Final Chapter

Doesn't link anywhere except to this page really.
