In the choice between something which does uncontrovertibly exist, versus a page with a name of our devising, the former always wins. Puffin Eshort is a name which can be verified by a valid source. "Fiftieth Anniversary" can't.

What does the term "Fiftieth Anniversary" mean? The Fiftieth Anniversary of Donald Baverstock commissioning the report that led to Doctor Who? C. E. Webber and company's initial concept idea? Verity Lambert's hiring? Hartnell's casting? The recording of the Pilot? The recording of the first episode? The transmission of the first episode? Is it the whole year? Is it everything that happened in the year 2013 vaguely in connection with the year 1963?

We'd literally be making it all up. It's much better to just have a page on each range or story released in 2013 and then note, as appropriate, that it was a special related to the fiftieth anniversary of the programme.

Oh, and pull yourself together, man: we don't take our cues from the freakin' Power Rangers.
