With the introduction of the Twelve, and new discussions of of this very same subject on the Eleven's talk page, it might be a good time to bump this, so more readers can see a more complete discussion.

Bringing the point of "the Twelve is now the most recent and so the page name should reflect that" that sparkled the discussion again: with the release of Ravenous 2, trying to define a "most recent" incarnation is not something that can be done, at least for the purpuses of this Wiki: the one that appeared in the latest-released story is now the Eleven, and we can't just switch back and forth every time Big Finish decides to use one of these two in a story. Also, given that the "most recent" (the Twelve) appeared during the early days of the Time War and the Time War is far concluded by the time of the Thirteenth Doctor, "recent" really doesn't make sense in this discussion.

Still, I mantain my opinion that the less messy way to deal with this Time Lord would be to give each incarnation their own page, specially because we have a non-ambiguous in-universe name for each of them.
