Let me try a different tack, because you're just not getting it.

An article's name must indicate precise content.


 * The article stovepipe hat is about a particular kind of hat — not all hats.
 * The article called Jacksonville, Kentucky is not about Jacksonville and its environs. It's just about Jacksonville.
 * The Third Doctor Handbook tells us about that volume — not the whole series.
 * DWM 230 doesn't tell us about the rest of the issues from that year.

An article's title must be specific. Fiftieth anniversary of Doctor Who is not specific. It means many different things. it means the observation of the several different milestones I've pointed out, and others that I haven't. It means celebratory events. It means the actual story which is meant to commemorate the event, in the same way that "the twentieth anniversary" means to many people The Five Doctors.

And then there's the matter of the precedent it sets. I'm extremely wary of allowing this simply because I don't want a page called Tenth anniversary of Doctor Who or Twentieth anniversary of Doctor Who or 45th anniversary of Doctor Who.

And beyond that, T:SPOIL will not allow you to do what you think it will. Even if you have this page, it does not fit into the exceptions. it will not be a series page, so spoilers will not be allowed on it.

You cannot reasonably imagine that I will allow some poor, innocent user to click on a link to fiftieth anniversary of Doctor who and suddenly be in the middle of spoilers.

This idea is totally DOA. Move on, please.
