As it has been said many a times above, who cares what it was on the show, this isn't that, this is a Wikia about Doctor Who, we can call it what we like. I like the name. It doesn't matter if somepeople call it the 'TARDIS wikia', because that's just a colloquial name, even I use it to call it shorthand, but officially, it should stay 'TARDIS index file Wikia'.

Agreed. The point just doesn't stand much ground; so what if it wasn't used in a narrative? What's the problem with that? Basically you should just drop that argument now...

To Sichamousacoricothingmabob, I would just point out that that isn't what the name of the wiki is at the moment. It is the TARDIS Index File, the Doctor Who Wiki. Wikia is the company/organisation that hosts all the wikis.

To OttselSpy25, this is a discussion not an argument. The problem is that we should be internally consistent and be able to explain to new users why things are the way they are, either through internal show logic or as this discussion may show through community discussion.
