User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-1783865-20200302103744/@comment-33762526-20200316035402 I'm with HarveyWallbanger, that categorizing the "fugitive," Timeless Children and maaaaybe Morbius Doctors as "ambiguous" is inaccurate and mis-leading to readers. The only sources we have on the Timeless Children and Jo Martin's Doctor are clear in their contention that they are incarnations of the individual who currently calls themselves the Doctor and to label them as ambiguous is confusing to readers. Something like "Other incarnations" could work. It's neutral enough that it indicates they're presented as incarnations of the same person, but doesn't assume anything further. Just spitballing here. The Valeyard is good under "More ambiguous" because several competing expanations about his true nature is, well, ambiguous.

And not to complicate things further, but I'd also like to re-visit the idea of adding The Other. A navbox isn't really about what incarnations/aspects of the Doctor we think are most "legitimate," it's to help readers easy access other pages relevant to the topic they're reading about. So our key questions should be "What incarnations' pages are visited most?" and "What incarnations will best help readers understand who the Doctor is/has been/will be?" So reasons similar to why we've removed the Dream Lord, I think it would benefit readers to add the Other.
