I know it sets up their doing so, but if it only implies that The Two Doctors takes place immediately after it, and there is a possibility that it doesn't, then I imagine we can comfortably set it within The Black Hole. If it clearly states that they most definitely are going to Chimera to find Dastari, or in any other way makes clear that only TTD could take afterwards, then I imagine we may need to reason this out further.

Yes. They are sent on their way to the space station with direct orders to do it. They don't explicitly show scenes from the story or anything, but it's all set up.

Stop trying to reconcile the continuity errors here. Our job is not to find a cohesive narrative. There is never going to be one canon we can live by and one universe that all fits together like a puzzle. So we need to avoid trying to find speculatory "answers" to our quandaries and instead decide how we're going to cover this continuity problem which shows no solution in the near future.

One option is to simply put the section on the Two Doctors at two different points in the article and to make it clear that the two contradict each other. Another is to separate The Two Doctors from both accounts and have the article link to them, a suggestion which I am not a fan of. I put forward that most stories listed under the Season 6B section need reconsidered, for instance most comics under that section need to go much earlier than that, before The Dominators. ETC.
