Many wikis of works of fiction have this policy. The idea is to use the same tense everywhere as it decouples the fictional timeline from our time. Since a story takes place over a period of time, there is no singular in-universe ‘now’. For consistency they choose to write everything from the perspective of an observer in the far future.
Will given that Doctor Who is literally about time travel, I think they should fuck with the system by having completely inconsistent tenses in every article.
Heck, have it change several times within the same article!
“The penis was a reproductive organ. It is used for poking holes. It will be a tool for creating babies.”
