from http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:145487 "So Nine and Ten truly believe themselves to be Nine and Ten their entire lives, and Eleven thinks he is Eleven until what's basically his "Eleventh Hour".

If the narrative situation changes as we get into the Capaldi era — like, if he starts telling people that he's Thirteen — then we'll adjust accordingly. " - emphasis mine

(Oh and i know many people say that about the meta crisis - but isn't that still conjecture/theory - which goes against the 13 regeneration limit (hence i like to think that it either didn't count or that the 8th doctor taking the potion to become the war doctor didn't use up a whole regen if that makes sense... but ah well conjecture either way so i tend to just go with conjecture disregard until further info...)
