Is "rani" referenced in this article, "the rani"?
In reference to Doug86's deletion of a comment on the article side of this page from IP user 81.158.1.189 he said that "fan speculation does not belong on this wiki". Don't we regularly see fan speculation in the rumor sections of upcoming episodes? And wouldn't it be better to move speculation to the discussion page than delete the content and squash what could be an interesting debate from occurring? --Raukodraug 01:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone else believe that The Trickster could be a warped Time Lord, disfigured after the Last Great Time War? Just a theory? --User:Dante91 00.12, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
There is not enough proof to determine if the Trickster is a Time Lord, and besides, the recent information the Doctor gave us indicates he was a member of the Pantheon of Discord. --Chicken Bond 20:44, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Eternal?[[edit source]]
In The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith the Doctor refers to the Trickster as an "Eternal exile". Could this be evidence that he is indeed an Eternal? Or how else could this description be taken?
