User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-26975268-20130407222910/@comment-7302713-20130412024843 We've got a problem where right now we're referring to Akhaten both as a parasite, and as the planet on which the Festival of Offerings takes place. Which seems like a big problem.

Also, it's been said on this thread that the Doctor definitively said that the parasite was a planet. I thought when he said the bit about where all life began he was specifically referring to the Pyramid, or the asteroid the Pyramid is on.

I think some of the problems are arising from the fact that we have a lot of locations, living things and events in this episode and some of those things overlap.

A parasite - also known as Grandfather. Appears and is thought to be either a planet or a sun. This is a living thing, a location and the center of a religion. If it is planet-like, is it one of the seven planets of the system?

The mummy - also known as the Old God. Resides in the Pyramid. The Doctor refers to the Mummy as an alarm clock for Grandfather.

The pyramid in which the mummy resides. Where a Chorister constantly sings the long song. (We see two Choristers switch. Presumably there are at least two living in the temple, but I'd guess more)

The asteroid on which the pyramid resides.

The unnamed planet where we see the Festival of Offerings. We see a stadium and a market on the planet. We're using Tiannamat in a couple places now, but it's main article is up for deletion because we don't have a properly sourced name.

the local system - referred to the Doctor as the rings of Akhaten. We're calling it "The Sun-Singers of Akhet" on this wiki and I'm not entirely sure why. The way the Doctor refers to them it's not clear if this is a name for the people of the system or for a prominent religion in the system. Either way, I don't quite understand how "Sun-Singers" is a name for a collection of celestial bodies and not a name for a people. Is there a particular reason why we aren't using the name "The Rings of Akhaten" to refer to the system?

Locations: the local system, the parasite, the asteroid which contains the pyramid, the unnamed planet. We also have the unnamed location where the Doctor and Clara first land in the system (could be part of the unnamed planet we see later, definitely a part of the system)

Beings: the parasite (Grandfather), the mummy (Old God)

In case anyone has lost track, these are the pages we have:
 * The Rings of Akhaten (TV story) - episode
 * Akhaten - parasite (Grandfather)
 * Mummy (The Rings of Akhaten) - mummy (Old God)
 * Tiaanamat - unnamed planet. Up for deletion because of it's name.
 * Pyramid of the Rings of Akhaten

This issue also affects the text of the following pages:
 * Long Song
 * Queen of Years
 * Festival of Offerings
 * Merry Galel
 * The Chorister
