Talk:Doctor Who season 6

Season 6B not appropriate for this article
This is the article about Season 6 of the Classic television series Doctor Who. Season 6 ran from 1968-1969. The first notion of this Season 6B dates from 1995 in the Discontinuity Guide. The people who actually made Season 6 never intended there to be any ambiguity about the ending of The War Games, and the people who made Spearhead From Space(made in 1969, aired in January 1970) meant that story to follow on directly from the end of The War Games. If people feel there should be a section on "Season 6B" on Wikipedia, and can provide WP:RS, then fine. Absolutely. But it should not appear as a section on the Season 6 article. Nor for that matter should it appear on the articles for either The Five Doctors or The Two Doctors, neither of which were ever produced with any "Season 6B" reasoning in mind. This entire section needs to be transplanted to the Discontinuity Guide article, and the Season 6 article being about just that, and not some fringe 1990's theory that has nothing whatsoever to do with the 44 episodes that were produced during 1968/69 ranging from The Dominators to The War Games.

 * Actually, that's a very good point. I agree that Season 6b should be in the Discontinuity Guide article. DonQuixote (talk) 15:47, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Colour contrast problems
It seems that this article is using colours in the infobox which don't satisfy Wikipedia's accessibility guidelines. The contrast between the foreground colour and the background colour is low, which means that it may be difficult or impossible for people with visual impairments to read it.

To correct this problem, a group of editors have decided to remove support for invalid colours from Template:Infobox television season and other television season templates after 1 September 2015. If you would still like to use custom colours for the infobox and episode list in this article after that date, please ensure that the colours meet the WCAG AAA standard.

To test whether a colour combination is AAA-compliant you can use Snook's colour contrast tool. If your background colour is dark, then please test it against a foreground colour of "FFFFFF" (white). If it is light, please test it against a foreground colour of "000000" (black). The tool needs to say "YES" in the box for "WCAG 2 AAA Compliant" when you input the foreground and the background colour. You can generally make your colour compliant by adjusting the "Value (%)" fader in the middle box.

Please be sure to change the invalid colour in every place that it appears, including the infobox, the episode list, and the series overview table. If you have any questions about this, please ask on Template talk:Infobox television season. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 05:30, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Episode numbers for The War Games affected
Episodes 1 and 2 of The War Games have been combined into one episode on the serial listing chart for no apparent reason. The War Games is a ten-part serial, not nine. Even though information (air dates, ratings, etc.) for both episodes are present, this combination is misleading, and carries over to other articles using this template such as List of Doctor Who episodes (1963-1989). If there is a reason for this, I don't know what it could be. All other information that I can find, aside from the fact that they are two different episodes, lists episodes 1 and 2 separately. Otherwise, the new chart format works very well in explicitly stating the number of episodes. Theolimetwig (talk) 17:24, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
 * There was no reason, other than that my script didn't split them properly. I have now corrected it, thanks for bringing it up. -- / Alex /21  23:00, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

Two week gap?
Why were there no Doctor Who episodes broadcast 19 and 26 October 1968? The article could do with an explanation (and so could I!)2.24.71.78 (talk) 17:55, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

 * See The Evil of the Daleks. Wimbledon, apparently. DonQuixote (talk) 16:05, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
