I'm not sure about the inclusion criteria for this category? Right now it seems to include some (but not all) post-regeneration stories for the Doctor, as well as ones where the regeneration actually occurs, but omits ''[[The Keeper of Traken (TV story)|The Keeper of Traken]]'', which should surely qualify, while including several stories that feature only vaguely similar phenomena experienced by non-Time Lord species. I think it might be more useful to limit it to Time Lord regeneration only (including the Master's weird screwy versions, though) but definitively include stories such as ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'' and ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)]]|The Christmas Invasion'' where a Time Lord character is experiencing the immediate aftereffects of a regeneration; in any case it would be nice to have a description on the category page clarifying the issue.

Possibly this discussion should be taking place on the parent page [[Category:Regeneration stories]], but I think TV stories are a reasonable core dataset for defining this sort of thing.

I'm not sure about the inclusion criteria for this category? Right now it seems to include some (but not all) post-regeneration stories for the Doctor, as well as ones where the regeneration actually occurs, but omits The Keeper of Traken, which should surely qualify, while including several stories that feature only vaguely similar phenomena experienced by non-Time Lord species. I think it might be more useful to limit it to Time Lord regeneration only (including the Master's weird screwy versions, though) but definitively include stories such as Spearhead from Space and The Christmas Invasion where a Time Lord character is experiencing the immediate aftereffects of a regeneration; in any case it would be nice to have a description on the category page clarifying the issue.
