Going back to the template, this refresher on said novel has changed my opinion on a Tipple section. Without a "full" appearance in The Eight Doctors, he essentially becomes equivalent to the Clements Master from "Sympathy for the Devil", who says a single line then regenerates. We don't give him a section, so we shouldn't give Tipple a section either. Not only that, but I don't believe we should even list Doctor Who under "Incarnation Unclear". The story is already listed as a Roberts appearance, so I don't feel we need to devote space to Tipple at all unless he shows up in his own legitimate appearance in the future.

In violation of policy, BananaClownMan has made edits before this thread has been closed. I have undone them. However, I will open one of the edits he made up for debate: the placement of "I Am the Master". Big Finish's production notes for it state it happens after "The Keeper of Traken," which means that the Doctor and Master are meeting out of order for no good in-story reason, but I believe we should respect stated production intent. However, I don't believe we have any way of knowing whether the Master in this story is the "Dust Breeding" or "Mastermind" Master, hence its original placement in "Incarnation Unclear".

BananaClownMan moved the story to the "Dust Breeding" Master. Is there any strong evidence supporting this over "Mastermind"?
