I really don't understand why a template would be needed at all? The WhichDoctor template is necessary because those story pages are covered as one release. Doomcloud, despite having a printed version with the Fourth Doctor, only has one page. We don't, say, put a template on Sarah Jane Smith to explain that one of the stories she was in has a discrepancy because we can easily explain that from an in-universe point-of-view.
Really this is a situation where we don't need to break the "fourth wall" of our articles. While to some it may seem that the discrepancy between Four or Eight having the adventure is a big deal, on a page like Chronotis it is the least relevant thing that could possibly be discussed, and it really needs no dedication outside of one or two sentences.
