message: Hi, not sure how to patch this up due to my lack of technical expertise, but the listing of Doctor Who Good Topics on the Project Page all link to Season 1 instead of the respective Season.  Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 12:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

message: You are invited to join the discussion at Talk:Doctor Who series 14 § Season 1 vs Series 14: Arbitrary break.  This discussion relates to the location of season/series articles, based on the latest being retitled to a "Season 1" format, based on the current and common naming of the season. A list of moves has been proposed, based on a series of debated questions. -- Alex_21 TALK 11:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a rather obscure notice, and it misses the lead. Which is adding the primary broadcast years for each season to the title of the article! Nfitz (talk) 23:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: Fourteenth is a little iffy since we've reached the extent of his appearances and they are limited. My only argument for potentially keeping it would be the fact that it exists for the other doctors and there is a case for consistency (I am fully aware of OTHERCONTENT, just bringing the point up). While it may be slightly TOOSOON for fifteen, I don't necessarily see the point of going through a TFD only because I think we will get to a point where it is necessary as Gatwa is already filming series 15.

text: I would keep them both, because the other Doctors have their own templates also. It also makes it easier to navigate each of these Doctors's episodes. Lotsw73 (talk) 08:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think maybe the fourteenth doctors template could easily be replaced by the standered episode template. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 15:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Fifteenth I'd say is a necessity since he's already got at least two more seasons confirmed. Fourteenth is iffy, but per above I definitely feel like it would navigationally be useful due to the other numbered Doctors having one.  Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

text: I agree that  is a bit too early, but its creation was inevitable so it might not even worth reverting again.  is a bit excessive, though; it's practically identical to , and both are used on mostly the same articles anyway. Due to the obvious similarities between their eras, might it be worth merging with  instead? It's already linked there, so it seems logical to simply add it to the bottom. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: That could lead to confusion between the two incarnations Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 22:21, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it would any more confusing than the show already presents it. Here's a quick example of what it could look like (though I'm sure there are even better ways to do it). Just an idea. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 22:36, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't have any objection to merging the two but I think I'd like to suggest this as a viable alternative too. I assume the episodes would be the primary target for most people over something like The Forever Trap or The Eyeless. It would also properly fall under the "television" subheader.
