Speculation
I'm not sure this page passes the wiki's rules about speculation on in-universe pages. Namely, I contest the idea that any in-universe source indicates that the giant TARDIS + battlefield on Trenzalore is an alternate timeline. In fact, if we look at out-of-universe sources, Moffat unequivocally declared that, in keeping with the rules of time travel established in TV: The Angels Take Manhattan, the battlefield, the gigantic TARDIS, and the Doctor's timeline scar thing still exist in Trenzalore's future, even after The Time of the Doctor. In fact, Moffat notably places these words in the Doctor's mouth, not his own, so this might actually count as an in-universe source?

This is an extremely well-written page, and it should definitely be preserved in some form, but I don't think the "alternate timeline" interpretation is based on in-universe evidence. Am I missing anything? – N8 ☎ 18:16, January 17, 2018 (UTC)
