Template talk:Companions of the Eleventh Doctor

Rory
Okay, apparently several episodes with different settings feature a character named Rory, played by Arthur Darvill, who appears to be a companion. But I would support leaving this off til a official announcement. --Golden Monkey 00:37, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Work?
How exactly does this template work? We're trying to get something liek this on the Animal Crossing wiki, but it's not working. I mean, I copied the source into our Sandbox, but the 'Show'/'Hide' thing doesnt appear. -- Dragonfree  11:28, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Kazran Sardick and Abigail Pettigrew
I left them under the heading of see also, as they are not really companions but are in the same category as Jackson Lake and Rositia. Mini-mitch 19:45, 27 December, 2010 (UTC)

Possible merging of Auton Rory?
Day of the Moon includes dialogue confirming that Rory Williams remembers his time as an Auton. That would seem to make them the same character. I propose removing "Auton Rory Williams" from the single-adventure category and just leaving the main Rory Williams listed. It's almost like listing young Amy separately, really (and a case could be made for the alternate timeline Amelia featured in The Big Bang using the same criteria as Auton Rory). 68.146.78.43 15:00, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Any reason why Canton was removed?
I added Canton Delaware to the list of Single Adventure companions, but someone removed it. Canton was with the Doctor for a single adventure, and traveled in the TARDIS several times during said adventure.

Comic book section needs to be added
IDW's Doctor Who #8 ends with Kevin - a sentient robotic dinosaur introduced in the When Worlds Collide story arc - joining the TARDIS crew. IDW has confirmed he will be serving as a companion in at least issue #9. So since we include comic strip/comic book companions it's time to start one for the comics. 68.146.71.145 04:04, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Kevin also appears in the short strip "Your Destiny Awaits" which chronicles several adventures he takes part in following When Worlds Collide, so that pretty much confirms him as full companion, Frobisher effect or not. 68.146.71.145 13:23, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Why is Craig Owens not included?
Craig appears in two episodes and is exclusive to the 11th Doctor's incarnation.


 * Moreover, it is implied in DW:Closing Time that he is a companion, a fact that Craig's page on the official site backs up. I think he is definitely a companion of the Eleventh Doctor. Dakovski talk to me 04:40, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * He is listed as a companion on the pages DW: The Lodger and DW: Closing Time. So isn't he supposed to be considered a multi-story companion? He should definitely be added to the template.  Eternal Meister   Talk 12:21, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree. Maybe it's time template was unlocked so people can add Craig (as well as begin a comic strip/book section for Kevin). Also, if there's a Single-Adventure section, then we need to include the companions introduced in A Good Man Goes to War (at the very least Vastra). 68.146.80.110 21:36, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

To answer the original question, yes, I think Craig Owens should be included. The template should not be unlocked as that would just result in any old rubbish being added to it and discussions like this would just be bypassed. I completely disagree with the idea that Vastra or any of the AGMGW-exclusive characters being considered companions. They just turned up, screwed around for a bit, failed to further the plot and then ran off home.-- 15:24, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
