If another Doctor appears in a single scene, he should not be listed in the infobox as a second main Doctor, because only the central cast should be there. If we did decide to include a secondary Doctor variable, it will likely be misused. Are there any stories out there where a main Doctor cannot be named?

Time Crash has to list the Fifth Doctor as "featuring" even though both Ten and Five play equal roles in the story. The Day of the Doctor also features Eleven, Ten, and War with equal roles in the story. Four Doctors features Twelve, Eleven, and Ten in equal roles. I'm sure there are more, but those are off the top of my head. Really the only difference is who happens to be the incumbent actor/Doctor at the time the story is released. And that doesn't even work for things like Big Finish releasing multi-Doctor stories where the incumbent Doctor doesn't feature, because then who should get to be listed as the "main" Doctor?
