Talk:Rassilon

(Partial) split
In light of the recent splittings, I've taken interest in seeing how many pages could feasibly be split into their respective incarnations. Rassilon proved to be a particularly tricky case, in the sense that everything currently covered from their "early life" to their (first) death (covered now by the "Supposed death and survival" section) is extremely contradictory, and, honestly, makes it nearly impossible splitting.

However, from the moment Rassilon gets transferred to the Matrix onwards, his lives are far less contradictory (well, basically not at all) and are easily "splitable". Therefore, I'm proposing that we do exactly this. Leave all the contradictory/messier stuff here, where we currently make it into a coherent structure, and split only his post-death/resurrected incarnations, as follows: Now, finally, as these are not "oficial" names, we'd use conjecture on the top of the pages. Even then, as our pages of the Monk, the Rani and all the others have by now proved, splitting by incarnations when possible improve our coverage of the stories these Time Lords are involved with, so I propose we do the same for Rassilon.

 * The overall page, which deals with everything up to "Supposed death and survival", and then link to his following incarnations
 * Matrix Rassilon, which deals with all the stuff from his Matrix projections, until the moment of his resurrection during the Time War
 * Resurrected Rassilon (fittingly), the incarnation that was resurrected on the early days of the Time War, but which soon regenerated into...
 * War Rassilon (very obviously, not the only incarnation of Rassilon to be involved in the war, but then again so aren't the War Doctor and the War Master, and it's all-too-clear who we're talking about when we say these names, I think the same could be said about this one once we get used to the names)
 * Ultimate Rassilon, who lived the final days of the Time War, and whose "biggest" act was trying to bring the Ultimate Sanction
 * Banished Rassilon, as the two stories he appear in are partially motivated by his banishment from Gallifrey


 * My only real issue with this is that I'm not sure about the names of the "War" Rassilon and the "Ultimate" Rassilon. As someone who is not familiar with the Gallifrey audio series, when I first saw the "War" title, I thought of Timothy Dalton's incarnation. And if I hadn't already read the list to get some context, I wouldn't have even guessed which Rassilon the "Ultimate" one was, being more familiar with the term "Final Sanction".


 * Also, at what point in the Time War is the "War" Rassilon from? Is it possible that they are a younger version of the "Ultimate" incarnation? LauraBatham ☎  03:02, 13 July 2021 (UTC)


 * An excellent point made by User:LauraBatham. Didn't the individual Rassilons get nicknames in Pandoric's Box? Maybe they could be used, since they are used in-universe and in a licensed stoiry? BananaClownMan 03:16, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
