| Now that the casting of Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor is fair game, the behind the scenes section should be added to explain how his initial appearance was successfully kept secret (and in fact mirrors the pre-introduction of Clara). If it's been revealed when he filmed it, that should be added too. Both bits of info can be put in without violating spoiler policy re: the Christmas special.

| ::I should have been clearer. I was asking for someone to do the formatting for me since I was unfamiliar with the image rules here, which seem to contradict themselves in minor ways throughout the site after taking a look at them now.

| | Before we get into a full-blown [[T:NO WARS|'''edit war''']] about [[Special:Diff/2459640]], I just wanted to jump in and hopefully calm the waters a bit. First off, the IP editor is correct in his or her statement. Yes, Twelve did have a single red button on the hoodie-jacket worn prominently in S9. If using the US iTunes copy of ''[[The Witch's Familiar (TV story)|The Witch's Familiar]]'', you can quite clearly see this button on the left cuff at 46'28" and on the right at 46'37". |

|
| :::The image rules don't contradict each other; the issue is that so many people don't know the rules, and only admins can delete images so it's a tough job to keep up with. The image you mention above of Capaldi seems to be ok except that the name needs to be more clear. The current name tells absolutely nothing about the image. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 03:00, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
| | However, [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] used sound editorial judgment in excising it from the article. It's quite trivial to the Twelfth Doctor article. If we had an article called, say, [[Twelfth Doctor's apparel]] -- and really, maybe we should have an article like this for each Doctor -- then it would be much more relevant. So a part of the reason I'm writing this note is to preserve the information left by the IP editor so that it might be incorporated later into such an article. |

| :::: Amazing how after all that, an admin decided to use an image that does not conform to the image guidelines immediately after I was tersely quoted the rules here... "Total file size - Ordinary screenshots should never be more than 100kb; most are completely fine at 20-40kb." The image linked to in the infobox is 7 times that size, and the infobox scale down is STILL over 100kb. Why did I just waste time conforming my image to the rules when we can decide to use any old non conforming image? I don't WANT to be a dick here, but this is rather frustrating and does not encourage user submissions when approached like this. I'd be happy if someone else's image were used, assuming it followed the guidelines that I was just told were clear as day.

| | == The Day of the Doctor? == |
| :Hey everyone :) Bit of confusion here, so lemme clarify some points. First, Thor here encountered the changed environment of the VisualEditor. Unfortunately, it's temporarily possible to upload stuff and bypass our warnings. I don't have a good way to fix that yet, since the VisualEditor is in deep beta. So Thor's confusion was completely understandable. Equally, Shamabala's terse explanations would be more understandable in the ''usual'' uploading environment. We as admin have a right to expect that people are reading big signs with large letters. But, unbeknownst to Shambala and SOTO, those big signs with large letters aren't there for people using the VE. It's important to remember that admin are just as baffled by the vagaries of the new VE as are users, so confusion will occasionally arise.

| :One of the main questions asked here was simply about how to change the filename. We have an easy way to do that. Just use {{tlx|spelt|new name}}.

| :Finally, a little clarity on this statement: "...an admin decided to use an image does not conform to the image guidelines". Admin didn't place a policy violating image on the page; rather I deleted a bad image and substituted the current, policy-''compliant'' one. But don't worry about that; page histories are sometimes hard to read.

| | Currently, the Infobox image is this. |
| | <gallery> |
| | TwelveLooksAtMissy.jpg|The current image. |
| | </gallery> |
| | Now, I think this is a very ''good'' image, and I don't intend to try to change it. However, the crop... isn't ''optimal''. |
|
| |
|
| == Is he 12? ==
| | Firstly, there is a fair bit of "dead space" to the left of the image, which not only looks a bit skewed, it also causes the Doctor's head to be on the far right, making the thumbnail image crop out the side of Twelve's head. |
|
| |
|
| Is he truly Twelve? The Time Lords noted that all 13 Doctors were there, and after noting 13, we saw Capaldi's Doctor. further, with the acceptance of Hurt's Doctor, that would seem to imply that Hurt is now 9. Is this going to affect the conventions? I think it may be too early to definitely title this as The Twelfth Doctor just yet, it may be addressed at Christmas. [[User:RobbieNewton|RobbieNewton]] [[User talk:RobbieNewton|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 13:25, November 24, 2013 (UTC)
| | Secondly, the current crop is not compliant with [[T:GTI]] - the crop omits a good chunk of Twelve's forehead, and as the forehead is ''part'' of the face, it the crop should not go beyond that. T:GTI states that images should be cropped in on an individual's face, not just on the mouth, nose, and eyes. |

| In ''The Time of the Doctor'', the Eleventh Doctor confirmed to Clara that he is, in fact, the thirteenth incarnation because the Tenth's metacrisis regeneration was still a full one, in which he managed to keep his face out of vanity. He later calls the first of his new regeneration cycle "Regeneration Number Thirteen." Shouldn't we change the Twelfth Doctor's brief description at the beginning of the article to "fourteenth incarnation" to reflect this more accurately?

| ::No offense intended, but we will need to see that information cited specifically. The Doctor does not specify the numbering of incarnations in Time of The Doctor, just the number of regenerations. Do you have anything addressing the number of incarnations, or just related counts like regeneration and the commonly accepted numbering. If he is indeed clearly considered as such, it is going to need to be cited in the Wikia entry anyway. I haven't read recent interviews, so I am legitimately asking for that information.

| ::::"Thirteen versions" are what would happen under normal circumstances. He was speaking of the ordinary procedure, which is not how it turned out for him. The eleventh regeneration was siphoned away before it could change his body, and so the Tenth Doctor (eleventh incarnation) remained in his eleventh body. Regeneration does not produce an identical body, and if it had changed his body, there would not have been sufficient energy for the duplicate body to be created at all. The Twelfth Doctor is definitely the thirteenth incarnation. [[User:ProtoKun7|ProtoKun7]] [[User talk:ProtoKun7|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 20:19, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

| |
| And no, the Meta-Crisis is not an incarnation of him. Though technically the same, it's another man. (the Tenth Doctor, in his eleventh incarnation, transfer his regeneration energy into his handy spare hand and keep his looks but turns into his twelfth incarnation.

If he regenerated into an identical body (which doesn't happen in the first place), then the energy would still have been used changing the cells to the copies, and if that happened, there would not have been enough energy siphoned into the hand to create another full body. Indeed, when River used up her remaining energy to heal the Doctor, you could attempt to argue that she's now the thirteenth River by virtue of having used all her energy (which is obviously nonsense).

| :Friendly reminder: don't forget to sign your posts, Sabovia.
| |
| :Anyway, on to the topic. Unless it is mentioned in every other Doctor's wikia article, then the answer is most likely no. The book saying ALL the incarnations go to the funeral is a bit of a copout, as it tries to establish canon for future events. Unless an admin specifically gives it the OK, I wouldn't suggest that it is an event that we can reliably say occurred.

| This issue is addressed in [[Thread:149557]].

| * I don't think that's true, as Big Finish makes subtle references to BBC Wales Doctors all the time, and the BBC Books novel The King of Terror - published in 2000 - makes reference to the Brigadier having met 10 Doctors. However, taking on-screen canon into account, the short story in question has the FIRST Doctor talking about all his incarnations meeting the Brigadier. As the Doctor, until the final moments of his Eleventh (or Twelfth, counting War Doctor) incarnation, lived under the assumption he would not have any further incarnations beyond that number, there is no way the First Doctor would be at all aware of a Twelfth or a Fiftieth Doctor for that matter attending the funeral, so we cannot assume any Doctors beyond Eleven attended based on such scant evidence. If Robert Dick writes a revised version of the story for later publication, then let's revisit the idea.

| :In the story, the First Doctor says this regarding the Brig's funeral: ''"But when he goes, I'm there for him. At the funeral, I mean, I'm there. All of me, in fact."'' I would point out that simply saying "all of me" is in no way "portraying" any of the BBC Wales Doctors. Additionally, the Doctor doesn't go into any specifics aside from "all of me," so for all we know, the Thirteenth and the Fourteen Doctors are there as well. I just don't feel we have enough info to warrant ''not'' including the "attending the funeral" bit from Twelve's page. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:darkblue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 04:10, July 14, 2014 (UTC)
