More to the point, there are endless (and I mean endless) debates, on the Wiki and elsewhere, over which BBC Wales stories form a two- or three-parters, and which are just narratively connected because of a series arc. Just from last season, there are already disagreements on the Internet over whether there's a three-part finale (The Haunting of Villa Diodati/Ascension of the Cybermen/The Timeless Children) or a two-part finale consisting of just Ascension and Timeless Children.

Plus, what would we even title those lumped-in pages? Hartnell-era serials have agreed-upon collective titles, even though they were not all used on broadcast. But there is no consensus on what to call most New Series multi-parters, even ones that are universally agreed to be multi-parters. Aliens of London/World War Three, say. What's the collective title for that? Colloquially we say things like "the Series 9 finale" or "the Slitheen two-parter" or "the Monk Trilogy", but we can't call a Wiki page that.

Tl;dr, I completely get the impulse to want to lump in multi-part NuWho stories, but it really isn't practical, I think.
