Talk:TARDIS

list of appearances and infobox
okay... a TARDIS does not appear in every Doctor Who story, believe it or not. aside from Mission to the Unknown it doesn't appear in a few of the Pertwees or in a couple of early Tom Baker stories except in the opening credits.

as for the actual list of appearances, as I said about the Gallifreyan list of appearances, we might as well concentrate on TARDIS'es that don't belong to the Doctor. The Doctor's TARDIS can have its own list of appearances and the list of appearances can just detail appearances of TARDIS'es owned by other people. (which would still come down to a really, really long list. not as long as the list of appearances by the Doctor's TARDIS, though.) for the same reason, the police box picture in the infobox really belongs in the article for the Doctor's TARDIS, rather than this one. a "generic" TARDIS without the chameleon circuit having changed it into anything, has never appeared in the television series, though they have some of the comics. (in The War Games, SIDRAT's, sort of like a TARDIS, do appear though, without disguise.) --***Stardizzy*** 07:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Are we going to add in occurrences of the Master's Tardis to this article or would that require another article? Azes13 14:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I think it would be good for the Master's TARDIS to have a separate article, after all he's had a few that could do different things.
 * Also it does differ in appearace quite drastically from the Doctor's (the whole black room thing in Keeper of Traken).

 * the Master's TARDIS should definitely have an article devoted to it (though, technicall, he must have had more than one TARDIS, but then, so has the Doctor [in the novels... it gets sort of complicated]). as should the Rani for that matter. remember, we can and should cover the Whoniverse in ridiculous detail. (that includes some ridiculous details.) --***Stardizzy*** 03:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Type 40 versus TARDIS
a lot of the information in this article pertains to the Doctor's Type 40 so I plan on going over this and putting almost all the information here in a Type 40. the military TARDIS'es from 4 Dimensional Vistas (from Doctor Who Magazine comics story) and Marie, the Type 103 sentient TARDIS (who looks like a woman) from Alien Bodies have very little to do with what we think of as a TARDIS, i.e. a Type 40. so this article could use a more general, overview kind of focus.--***Stardizzy*** 16:07, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Other Questions
Where did ST Capsule come from, I'm pretty sure in Deadly Assassin they say TT capsule, rather than ST...or is this a mondegreen as far as lines go? --Tangerineduel 12:01, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I remember it as TT capsule, too. --***Stardizzy*** 12:41, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've just checked About Time 4 (as I haven't got the Deadly Assassin on hand), it states (when discussing The Deadly Assassin) that "The Doctor's TARDIS is officially designated a type-forty TT capsule, described as obsolete and out of commission."
