The link for Marco Polo actually takes you to the person's page; it should really go to Marco Polo (TV story). -- Bold  Clone  03:15, June 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Something else I noticed is that there is a redlink to "Let's Kill Hitler," and Series 6 isn't split into a Spring half and a Fall half. -- Bold  Clone  17:28, June 28, 2011 (UTC)

Tooth and Claw
Someone change Tooth and Claw to Tooth and Claw (TV story)? -- Tybort (talk page) 12:57, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Locked?

Series 6 Fall Half
Night Terrors, The Girl Who Waited, The God Complex, Closing Time and The Wedding of River Song should be credited.95.148.97.127 07:59, August 25, 2011 (UTC)

Grammar
"Excluded" would be a better word than "unincluded".

The words "Second Doctor" are missing. Sean Fennel talk to me 22:44, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Capitalisation
The word "undead" in "Mawdryn Undead" should be capitalised, but it is not. Memnarc talk to me 08:26, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Series 7 Mistake
The episode The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe has a spelling mistake on this template, please could you fix it. Thanks --Ryan0ry talk to me 17:49, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Replacement Seven pic
I'd like to suggest this as a replacement picture for the Seventh Doctor section since the previous one was taken down. Memnarc talk to me 02:56, June 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Added. Thanks. —Josiah Rowe talk to me 05:43, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Picky, but...
Vengeance on Varos is listed as "Vengeance OF Varos". Sean Fennel ☎  16:52, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed that. And don't worry about being picky. It's the little things where we'll often make mistakes. Thanks for pointing it out. --Tangerineduel / talk 16:59, July 28, 2012 (UTC)

Series 7 additions
Currently, only two regular episodes of series 7 are in the template. TV: A Town Called Mercy, The Power of Three, and The Angels Take Manhattan need to be added. Memnarc ☎  10:14, September 30, 2012 (UTC)

Replacement Eleven pic
The current Eleven picture is much too small. I'd like to suggest this as a replacement. Memnarc ☎  10:22, October 7, 2012 (UTC)

Autumn/Fall?
Minor issue, but I've just noticed that this template references new series 6 and 7 as having a "Fall half" rather than an "Autumn half". Just wanted to check if the Americanism used was related to the spacing of the template or something?, or can it be altered to BrEng? Baziel ☎  19:07, December 25, 2012 (UTC)

No Prequels?
Have they been removed? I've been gone for a while. It seems like they should be here, since they're woven in between episodes. Memnarc ☎  11:14, March 31, 2013 (UTC)

Colors
Just wondering if it's me, but did someone noodle with this to the point that it's illegible?

White test on very pale blue/lavender (the odd Doctor titles and the season/series group headers), unused link text and the background being the same color (series 6 regular episodes), used link text and the background being the same color (seris 7 autumn), and the footer(black text, blue link text, and a dark blue field).

- Byfield ☎  20:38, May 12, 2013 (UTC)

Nice to see the bulk of the box is now legible... however... there's still the black and blue links on dark blue backgrounds in the headers... - Byfield ☎  10:56, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

"Daleks in Manhattan" is misspelt as "Daleks in Manhatten". 76.94.191.105talk to me 00:52, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

The Night of the Doctor
So we have a new Eighth Doctor story. On TV, of all things. A proper, brand new story featuring the Eighth Doctor, broadcast by the BBC (albeit via their Red Button service) and also slapped up onto YouTube, because why wouldn't they? Massive bit of telly, that. Very important.

Which raises the question: Does it belong on this template? Should it get wedged in, and if so, where?

I'd argue that yes, it absolutely does belong here, and yes, it belongs under the Eighth Doctor category. Now yes, that presents some interesting questions and problems for the wiki - this is the first and, to date, only time that a past Doctor has appeared in a standalone story, and rather ruins the chronological broadcast nature of the template.

But, and I think this is worth noting, this is an important story. Blisteringly important. Mind-meltingly important. This story has huge ramifications, and it absolutely belongs on this template. Ben Paddon ☎  08:02, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * No. This template is fundamentally based on the premise of the respective Doctor's original run. For instance, we don't add The Three Doctors and The Five Doctors to the First Doctor's section of the template. Nor do we add Time Crash to the Fifth Doctor's part. Make sense? -- Bold  Clone  01:14, November 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * I would argue that Multi-Doctor stories aren't a proper comparison for the Night of the Doctor, as they feature previous Doctors in a current Doctor story; because of this they are included for the main Doctors (ie, Three is included under Pertwee, Time Crash with Tennant, etc). Unlike Multi-Doctor Stories, this is an original TV adventure for a previous Doctor during another Doctor's era, but which doesn't feature them. This is something that is unprecedented and could not have been predicted when this template was devised, and as such surely requires more debate. Geek Mythology ☎  19:51, December 7, 2013 (UTC)


 * I tried adding The Night of the Doctor in the infobox at the bottom of the template, but this was deleted as well. As a valid Doctor Who TV story, if it isn't included in the template itself, surely it should be at least mentioned???

Unbroadcast Episodes
The Tardis spoiler policy clearly states that "A spoiler is any information — in-universe or behind-the-scenes — coming from a story which has not yet been officially released in its entirety. Even if released by the BBC", which includes "Information from an official website about a future episode".

As such, even episode titles of unbroadcast episodes are in violation of this, and should not be added to this template.

Bottom of the table
I made a few edits, adding the fact that the 12th Doctor was in Day of the Doctor, but specifically where the new 12th section had been added, and making sure the appendices regarding what is not included were at the very end. Unfortunately this has resulted in some of the code being visible on the table itself, and I am unaware of how to fix this. My apologies for this, if someone knows how to do so (and could point me in the direction of a guide to teach me how to better use the code) it would be appreciated.

12 is gone (and it's my fault)
After adding "War Doctor" into the template, 12th doctor stopped working after I moved the numbers by for each Doctor. Tried to fix the problem but couldn't find the source, I suppose it's either something very complicated or I'm just blind and stupid. The latter is more possible. If anyone could have a look at it and get 12 to work, it would be great. Thanks!
