Forum:Nomenclature debate for Children of Earth episode pages

as some of you will know, I usually favor an anal approach to naming articles about stories. on-screen, the titles say Torchwood: Children of Earth: Day One or whatever. (BBC publicity used a similar format.) I propose that we do a rename to (example):


 * 1) TW: Children of Earth: Day Two


 * 2) TW: Children of Earth: Day Two.


 * 3) TW: Day Two (the current option)

(apologies, by the way, if this has gotten discussed here before. I took a break so as not to get spoiled about the new Torchwood series.)

I personally favor Option 2--Stardizzy2 19:16, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * This is sort of in the same vein as The Trial of a Time Lord, which we deal with as separate stories with their own pages. Children of Earth like Trial is the over arching name of the season, whilst Day One etc are the individual names. I'm more for keeping what we've got at the moment referring to the episode titles as what they're called. --Tangerineduel 14:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I think Children of Earth functions much more as a continuous story, myself, versus Trial which splits more easily into four parts (never mind the number or individual episodes) or I wouldn't have suggested the change. (hope that doesn't sound too argumentative.)


 * anyway, do you favor option 1, 2 or 3?--Stardizzy2 19:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The main concern I see is that it needs to be clear whether "Day One" will refer to Children of Earth or to the second episode of series 1. I like the way option 1 looks, but would it be clearer if the actual pages were named that as well? By which I mean, the page titles would be "Children of Earth: Day Whatever"?

 * Perhaps Children of Earth: Day One might be an option, considering we do have two day ones.
 * Option 1 is good, however it may introduce complications and confusion with various editors not knowing the particular format for this.
 * Option 2 makes more sense and it is a style that is sometimes used with short story anthologies, so that would make some internal sense. Although sometimes for audio dramas that are adaptions of NAs the tunnelling is just left off so it would just be referenced as TW: Day One (Children of Earth) without anything else, which is also an option. This last option would mean the least amount of alterations (and also less confusion throughout our referencing system). --Tangerineduel 15:52, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
