From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Based on the discussion, the following understanding has emerged.

  1. Names given in novelisations and not contradicting the original story should be considered for the page title on a case-by-base basis, following T:CHAR NAMES mandate to find a name that is most easily discoverable.
  2. Redirects from the alternative names are encouraged.
  3. Full name is to be given in the lead of the article.
  4. BTS note should explain the origin of the full name from the novelisation.
  5. In the current version of inboxes, the infobox variable "name" should not be entered at all. The infobox code handles it by itself and will strip the dab term in the name atop the infobox.
