Any claims for either being "Romana III" should be relegated to a behind-the-scenes section, shouldn't they?

If we're agreed that they're two different incarnations, split them into "Romana (Renaissance)" and "Romana (Shadows of Avalon)". Treat them the way that future/unknown Doctors (ie. Cabinet of Light, Good Companions) are treated.

If we don't agree on that, the merged page for all Romanas makes a lot more sense than creating a vague "these two future incarnations that may or may not be the third Romana" page. Romana II explicitly says that "my time is over and Trey's has begun" in Renaissance, indicating that at the very least she believed that Trey directly regenerated from herself. Similarly, prose Romana is implied to be the third incarnation in The Ancestor Cell.
