The "Time Field" page went through much discussion over the name being changed from "the cracks" or "cracks in time" to it's current name, which seemed to only be mentioned by the Eleventh Doctor in one episode. We later find out that these cracks, this Time Field, is caused by a Total Event Collapse. I want to propose that the two articles are, in essence, the same thing and, while not merging the pages, information should be transferred from one to the other.

It occurred to me that, if the TEC made every star go nova at every point in time, thereby causing the whole universe never to have existed, then how/why would it leave cracks, two parts of time and space that should never have touched? I think the War deals with this, where parts of an event can drift backwards in time, so that would make sense. But this is almost like classifying an explosion and the flames from it as two different things (I understand they are different, but they are connected as well). I also wanted to suggest this because the bulk of "Time Field" is centered on the cracks, when there are multiple sources that refer to other time fields, in another context separate from the cracks. "Time Field" would become like "time stream," with multiply references listed, while the primary information concerning the cracks in time be moved to "Total Event Collapse" as that's the event that creates them. What do people think?
