Forum:Change name of wiki to Tardis Wiki

Introduction
Following on from the Forum:Updating the Tardis Wiki logo this is a proposal to change the wiki's official name.

Currently we have a mix of names, which even admins sometimes are a little fuzzy on.


 * Tardis Data Core
 * Tardis Data Core, a Doctor Who Wiki
 * The Tardis Data Core Wiki

Going back to 2010 with Forum:Name of the wiki - revisit, which was re-visiting this 2009 discussion, and the change in 2013 to Data Core and its associated logo discussions is in Thread:117468 at User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon I

While I always liked 'Tardis Index File' our long gone name for the wiki, it's not how anyone refers to the wiki, and I also now realise that I didn't offer any real objections back in 2013 to Data Core, which I've found since then a little awkward.

Now, 10 years or so on, I'm a little more pragmatic with regard to what the wiki is named. That there is what we think it should be named as a reference to something in-universe and then there is how people refer to it, and how it's used by others. And the latter is more important to getting more people to come here, to use it and talk about it. --Tangerineduel / talk 03:18, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Proposal
Change the name of the wiki to Tardis Wiki – The Doctor Who Wiki, which is how it's represented at the top of the banner at the moment.

The short name would remain Tardis, so all in-brower page titles would remain looking the same.

This will mostly only affect documentation throughout the wiki, and intros to things like this very forum which need to refer to the wiki. --Tangerineduel / talk 03:18, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

 * While I find the extended history of the site's name very fascinating, and I do understand the appeal of an in-universe name, at the end of the day Tardis Wiki is the best way to refer to the site. Tardis Wiki, the Doctor Who Wiki or Tardis Wiki, Home of the Doctor Who universe would both be fine "extended names" for the banner. OS25🤙☎️ 03:46, 14 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Agree with the name change, it's how people refer to us, and how we refer to us, as well. I like having an in universe name, but to be honest, this one makes a lot more sense. Aquanafrahudy  📢  08:12, 14 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree. It's short, easy to remember and it's already how most users refer to the wiki anyway. 66 Seconds ☎  11:26, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
