Given how many times the master keeps reverting back and forth between his crispy appearance, i would suggest making Beevers the main section and all possessions a subsection (like suggested above, although maybe a generic name "out of regeneation"/"end of cycle"/"fight for survival" or something).

One advantage is that we can put all the conflicting/unclear case under Beevers still without having to clarify more than that. (Five Master's crispy, Tipple, Eight Doctors, I am the Master, Master(To confirm but I don't think it must be before the movie), ...)

Regarding the Tipple debate, although it conflicts with established continuity by VNA, Eight Doctors really seems to imply that Ainley=Tipple; and furthermore, the game "destiny of the doctor" was intended to lead directly to the TV movie with Ainley sent on trial.

One note: until last month, all appearances following the movie were put in the Roberts sub. That's why you could still see the DWM preacher or some Morphant Beevers.

One example whould be:

...
 * Delgado
 * Survival
 * Beevers [1] (Two Masters, Assassin, Legacy, Dustbreeding, Mastermind, I am the Master, ...)
 * Ainley
 * VNA
 * Tipple [2]
 * Roberts
 * DWM
 * MacQueen
 * unclear: (Harvest of time) [because of the female Master written a decade before Gomez was cast]

And inside the template, much like we do with Template:Regeneration_stories, we add something like the following: "According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley.

While fighting to extend his life after the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation but all kept somehow reverting to his real being."

The last bit is a phrasing used by Big Finish

(e.g. Dust breeding part 4:

DOCTOR: It stripped his borrowed body from him. Degenerated him. This is the Master as he really is.")

I don't want to impose my opinion but I hope it could address all concerns in this thread (related to the cripsy master raised as per the OP's wishes)?
