Having thought this over some more, I wonder if maybe including details from foreign dubs may be more hassle than it’s worth, if only due to the sheer number of foreign versions that are out there.

Sometimes foreign dubs completely change certain lines to change the tone of the scene (e.g. I happen to know the French dub of The Poison Sky replaces the Doctor’s “are you my mummy?” joke with a sterm reiteration with his dislike for firearms), so I don’t know if it’s humanly possible to be that thorough. It could also be confusing for people reading since we can’t exactly tag a paragraph with something like (TV: The Ghost Monument- Brazilian-Portugese dub only).

On a related note: I have always liked the idea of doing articles that cover the histories of Doctor Who output in other countries ("Doctor Who in France", "Doctor Who in Germany", "Doctor Who in China", etc.)
