Disguises/Alias

Should "Razor" be listed under "Main aliases" along with Harold Saxon? Or would it be worth maybe adding a "Disguises" section to the infobox? (I note that this would also be particularly useful for Delgado, Ainley and Dhawan's incarnations as they also featured in stories where they were in various disguises for long periods of time.) I know we have a comprehensive list on its own page, but it could be useful and efficient to also list these on each incarnation's individual page too. FractalDoctor 20:35, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

I think that aliases and disguises are fundamentally the same and should be treated as synonyms for our purposes. Thus, Razor is best placed as one of his "Main aliases" --because it's what he went by for several years in-universe. NoNotTheMemes 02:59, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Infobox image

Just want to cover the possible options for infobox images. As it stands, there are three general aesthetics for the 'Saxon' Master: Prime Minister Chic, Bottle Blonde, and Beard-y.

Obviously, there are other options, but these were the first ones that came to mind. My thought is to go with something in the Prime Minister Chic area, since that was his primary TV appearance, but I (personally) have a preference for Beard-y. Feel free to add other options.

I like the first one, but I've uploaded a cropped version. Jack "BtR" Saxon 11:04, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

Naming of this Page

I want to propose changing the name of this Master's page to "Saxon Master", which aligns with what he's called in the behind the scenes of Masterful, and additionally makes it clearer which incarnation this refers to, since there are two incarnations of the Master introduced in Utopia. TheSpaghetOutcast 05:34, 10 January 2023 (UTC)

I think this is a good idea! After all, every one of his TV appearances references his Saxon identity, right up to the end of his life, when he still feels he's marked himself as Britain's "former Prime Minister".
Moreover, as mentioned, [[The Master (Utopia)]] is unnecessarily confusing: even though the War Master already technically doesn't need this disambig, they both debuted in that same series 3 story. Even just the Grandma Connolly precedent tells us [[The Master (Utopia)]] simply won't do.
