The Millie leaving rumor.

You guys do realize the Russell T Davis and Millie Gibson haven't confirmed that Ruby Sunday's isn't leaving the tardis yet and you do realize the new companion might be traveling with the doctor and ruby instead of replacing, so whoever thought that might be legit check all your facts before confirming it's true. 198.217.122.254 (talk) 00:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the talk page you're looking for is over yonder. This article doesn't even mention Gibson outside of the infobox. Rhain (he/him) 00:49, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There's also the relevant discussion over wild (blue) yonder. Summary: "official" announcements by "official" people are not the only valid/reliable source. -- Alex_21 TALK 02:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 25 February 2024

Add the follow citation for the paragraph "The 2006 series introduced a new variation of Cybermen. These Cybus Cybermen were created in a parallel universe by the mad inventor John Lumic; he was attempting to preserve the humans by transplanting their brains into powerful metal bodies, sending them orders using a mobile phone network and inhibiting their emotions with an electronic chip.": https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/doctor-who-guide/rise-of-the-cybermen-the-age-of-steel/ Lanceconstablecuddy (talk) 23:22, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thank you! Irltoad (talk) 21:34, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change the citation needed tag following the aftershows paragraph to https://www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series/doctor-who-confidential Emojiman7557 (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. This edit falls under Original Research. Thickynugnug (talk) 03:59, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

iPlayer - Original Network?

With today's announcement that the new series/season will premiere on BBC iPlayer/Disney+ before it's transmission on BBC One, is it prudent to add iPLayer to the "original Network" parameter in the infobox? Etron81 (talk) 23:53, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's why I rather think it should list a network rather than a channel, i.e. BBC. Interested to hear others' thoughts. U-Mos (talk) 15:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The United Stares should not be included as a country of origin. Disney money doesn’t change the origin of the show. 90.246.99.203 (talk) 00:52, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who#Request for comment: original network/country of origin in infoboxes. The fact is, Disney+ contribute far more than just money, they are officially a co-producer. -- Alex_21 TALK 00:55, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
