Talk:The Doctor's TARDIS (Tales of the TARDIS)

"Memory TARDIS"
I would contend that "The Doctor's TARDIS (Tales of the TARDIS)" is a better name than "Memory TARDIS", as the dialogue keeps it ambiguous as to what this TARDIS really is, if it's real, a memory/dream, etc.; the Doctor is just guessing, and is unsure.

 * "Memory TARDIS" is explicitly used in the Curse of Fenric one, though it is called "a" memory TARDIS, so it ought really to be at Memory TARDIS (Tales of the TARDIS). Aquanafrahudy   📢   🖊️  14:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * "Remembered TARDIS" is also explicitly used in dialogue, by Davison. — Fractal Doctor @  14:31, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * And that name is also used in publicity material. Danniesen ☎  14:32, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I guess this is the question: does there need to be confirmation that this TARDIS is a memory, or is the TARDIS being called that reason enough? And on a similar note: the status of the characters themselves is nebulous, whether they're real, or memories, psychic avatars, etc. So that's why I thought making pages like Fifth Doctor (Tales of the TARDIS) could be a sensible proposition.

 * I don't think so. I'm fairly sure it's intended to take place in the ordinary Doctors' and companions timelines. (For example, the Seventh Doctor gives an explanation as to why he's old, which they probably wouldn't bother doing otherwise.) Aquanafrahudy   📢   🖊️  14:45, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Sure, but the implication here is the room may or may not be a physical location; it's left open that it could be entirely mental or imaginary. So it does complicate things somewhat. TheGreatGabester ☎  14:47, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Oh, entirely. But I don't think it's Twelfth Doctor (Shadow World) level. We just document it in an ambiguous manner on the respective characters' pages. Respecting the integrity of the ambiguity of the narrative, as it were. Aquanafrahudy   📢   🖊️  14:52, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * At least we have a clear vision of when it takes place for the companions in their timelines. Danniesen ☎  15:06, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I am in favor of going with Memory TARDIS if it is indeed called that both in dialogue and in promo materials. Time God Eon ☎  18:09, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Both work for me, and are far better choices than what we currently have. It is explicitly called those things, and even for navigation purposes it makes a lot more sense to choose one of them. StevieGLiverpool ☎  20:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Central console
The page currently says "The console room was a small chamber with no central console". Should the console in the middle of the ceiling count as a central console or not? The time rotor is just visible in the interior image currently on the page and there's a clear shot of the whole console at 3:40 in TotT Earthshock
