::This page should stay as the only page for the Timeless Child as making more is just all the more confusing given that they only appear in 1-second glimpses apart from the dark-skinned little girl from the visions and the dark-skinned young boy that was recruited to the Division, and "The Doctor (The Timeless Children)" is not ideal either as they are not "the Doctor" yet. This one page is enough. However I'd suggest a template like "Docpic" that shifts between various images, showing each incarnation of the Timeless Child. --[[User:Danniesen|DCLM]] [[User talk:Danniesen|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 12:53, March 3, 2020 (UTC) | ::This page should stay as the only page for the Timeless Child as making more is just all the more confusing given that they only appear in 1-second glimpses apart from the dark-skinned little girl from the visions and the dark-skinned young boy that was recruited to the Division, and "The Doctor (The Timeless Children)" is not ideal either as they are not "the Doctor" yet.

=== Revisiting the "single-page/multiple-page" discussion === | |||
An official ruling was never given, but consensus was clear enough at the time to leave them as a single page. And, while I agree splitting the pages would leave us with small pages, I'd like to suggest that we split them. Not only based on our recent wave of page-splitting (Rani, Monk, Drax, etc.), but also: | |||
* Having a "small page" has never stopped us in the past. For the Doctor themselves, take a look at [[The Doctor 1 (Rose)]] and [[the Doctor 2 (Rose)]]. | |||
* That said, splitting the pages for each incarnation seen would give us two immediate advantages over a single page for them: directly stating which actor played that incarnation, as well as illustrating all of them with an image (which we can't do in this page, because our policies don't allow so many images per page, for an article this size, and because they literally don't fit here). | |||
As for concerns of how to name them... well that's pretty intuitive, right? [[First Timeless Child]], up to [[Seventh Timeless Child]] (with this page kept as an overall page). We already refer to them as being "first" to "seventh" incarnations through the wiki after all. Thoughts?
