That's definitely a valuable page to have even if it doesn't strictly fit the arbitrary rules about what can be called a "disambiguation page".

| Hello, I don't really even go here & I'm fairly new to Misplaced Pages so there's a lot to learn, but I came across ] that is... kind of bizarre? It's not titled as a disambiguation thing which is one thing, but the page itself seems to be entirely pointless? It's assigning acronyms to television episodes that, as far as I can find, don't even go by those acronyms? I'm part of the Doctor Who community on here and I have actually never heard any of the three DW episodes mentioned be referred to as "VOTD" ever. According to the page statistics, there have been 874 viewers since it was created in 2010. | |||
