Well, back then "Dr. Who" was his name in many mediums, so it is correct in that aspect. Changing Dr. Who to "The Doctor" would be like changing Doctor Who and the Silurians into The Doctor and the Homoraptilia.

I think we only change Dr. Who to Doctor in-universe because we've basically decided just to see it as an over-glorified typo.

Anyways, while I think for summaries cutting out o.o.u. stuff makes sense, for recaps I think it would be fine to leave it in. If a recap says "In the last issue..." that's how we should write it.
