Forum:SJA and companions of the Doctor

Hello to everyone!

Since Sarah Jane Smith and Jo Grant are categorized on "Category:Eleventh Doctor companions" because of a single adventure along with that incarnation, I would like to add the categories:
 * "Category:Companions of the Doctor" and "Category:Tenth Doctor companions" to Clyde Langer, Rani Chandra and Luke Smith (see ''The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith)
 * plus "Category:Eleventh Doctor companions" for Clyde and Rani (see Death of the Doctor).

Am I right?

 * I wouldn't have thought you were right, no. Seems to me that SJS and Jo should simply have  dropped from their list of categories.  It's hard to argue them as companions of Eleven, in my mind. Since 2005, the role of "companion" has had much more to do with behind-the-scenes reasons (name in the titles, publicity announcements, etc.) than some sort of narrative litmus test.  Given that we're talking about SJA appearances, it's more that he's their companion than the other way around.  04:41: Thu 25 Oct 2012
 * If we follow this principle, then we should take off SJ and Jo from the category of the 11th Doctor companions, in order to be fair.--HarveyWallbanger ☎  09:49, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
