Also, currently the Curator resides in the "more ambiguous" part of the template. Therefore, reserving that section for "spin-offs" of the Doctor (which the Morbius Doctors aren't) is your own idea and not something I agree with.</div> | Also, currently the Curator resides in the "more ambiguous" part of the template.

Yes, the Curator currently resides in the "More ambiguous" section of [[:Template:Doctors]] because there currently is no "Other selves & unplaced incarnations" section, lol. I'm just summarizing what was decided about those sections earlier in this thread (circa [[Thread:267362#47]]), with clarifications on the specific language. But you seem to be misunderstanding me: I twice cited the spin-offs as merely ''one example'' of the sort of thing that fits in the "More ambiguous" section. We definitely agree that neither the Morbius Doctors nor the Other are "spin-offs"! | Yes, the Curator currently resides in the "More ambiguous" section of [[:Template:Doctors]] because there currently is no "Other selves & unplaced incarnations" section, lol.

I don't believe there was ever any confirmation. Can you provide this? The Morbius Doctors states that [snip] Other than that there was only writer Lance Parkin's intention that the Other was the Douglas Camfield Doctor. However, this was not depicted in the book and therefore not confirmed.Well, it's worth saying that, regardless of what our wiki says, the wiki is not a valid source for the wiki. (There's an actual policy that says this somewhere, but I can't recall it off the top of my head... Could anyone help me out here?) In any case, I've recently re-read the relevant stories, and while Cold Fusion itself is indeed a bit ambiguous, when taken together with Lungbarrow, where the "Doctor rescuing Susan" scene is depicted from the opposite point of view, it's very clear that Patience's husband (who is depicted as the Douglas Camfield Doctor just as clearly as any Short Trips story depicts the Third or Fifth Doctors) is the Other. This is what I meant by citing the Virgin New Adventures as a whole rather than either of the stories specifically.
