I think the problem here (and the point of contention) is that the template categorizes based off of two major things, the broadcast period (Season/Series) and Doctor Number. So far they have always meshed well together. Now we have one that doesn't fit the mold, and hence the question is which of those two items is the true purpose of the list. If its broadcast period, then Night of the Doctor belongs with Series 7 (which unfortunately would list it under the Eleventh Doctor). If its by Doctor number, then it belongs with the Eighth Doctor.

As it stands right now it is somewhat confusing. I think it would be best for a consensus to be reached and the template groups modified to remove the other.

i.e. - If it is supposed to be by broadcast period, then remove the Doctor number as it has no purpose in the header. Conversely, if it is by Doctor number, then the Season/Series should be removed from the group title as it would have no basis.

Please give this some serious thought, as the current layout seems to be at odds with itself, especially around the transition from Peter Davidson to Colin Baker, Season 21.
