Actually, why do T:ROMANA use roman numerals anyway? Simply because it's a fan convention, right?

Please do anything but fuse all Romana's pages (i don't want it to be as tedious as the Master's page).

My humble opinion is:

Prose Romana is implied in the story as following Romana II, and explicitely stated as the third one by the author, which should be enough for our name convention.

If Cornell literally called her "Romana III" (a source would be nice), then we should use that name, explicitely being the third one or not, the same way we use credits-only name (like we did for Arthur Candy for exemple).

Anyway we use Romana II, but going stricly by TV naration, we could also call her Romana VI, given the infamous regeneration scene of Destiny of the Daleks.

Trey is currently implied as the audio Romana III, but we should wait for the next Gallifrey release before doing anything. Maybe Romana will adopt Trey as her new name, maybe Trey was just the name of the Matrix manifestation, maybe audio Romana III will be portraid as someone else. Maybe Trey is something like The Watcher. We simply don't know.

My suggestion is that we don't have enough information at the moment, so let's not do something hasty. But we should keep the III for prose Romana, since these numbers are non-narrative anyway.
