Can someone add the John Hurt version to the template?

Stick John Hurt's Unknown Doctor in the bottom row. We don't know what regeneration he is, or even if he's a full doctor (or an in-between incarnation), but it was confirmed onscreen he was A doctor.86.174.188.161talk to me 20:53, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Actually, it's only confirmed by the credits that he's the Doctor. The actual narrative makes very clear that he's not the Doctor. Removing from template.

Trust Moffat to make this such an enigma -he's the Doctor, but he's not A DOCTOR. 11 did clearly state they were definitely the same person ("He's me, there's only me here, that's the point...") , but not worthy of the title 'Doctor' ("I said he was me, I never said he was the Doctor... he's the one who broke the promise"), but it depends what we decide the box is counting - is it the Time Lord himself, or just the versions who 'Kept the promise' of the Doctor? If we're going to be pedantic, then the Valeyard, Dream Lord and the Watcher aren't really the Doctor either - the Watcher was a projection, the Dream Lord a psychic state of consciousness and The Valeyard an in-betweener. Hurt's "Doctor" was at least confirmed by himself to be the same Time Lord, just unworthy of being considered the Doctor. 86.174.188.161talk to me 17:33, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. The narrative actually makes it very clear that he is the Doctor; just not called by that name. He is the same individual being as "the Doctor," but even the other Doctors reject him for what he did. The template is supposed to list the different forms of the person known as "the Doctor". Hurt is still a form of the same person, even if he isn't called "the Doctor". 11 himself says: "He's me, there's only me here, that's the point..." Hurt IS the same being named "the Doctor", but for some reason, he has lost the right to use the name "Doctor". Thus he belongs on the template because 11 specifically says "He's me." Can someone add him back in? --Bold Clone 19:38, May 19, 2013 (UTC)

Considering that we have now specifically seen John Hurt's character regenerate from the Eighth Doctor, would that now qualify "The War Doctor" to be added to this template?? Geek Mythology 16:16, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

I agree. Unfortunately, we need an admin to ulock the page. Movsar 14:10, November 16, 2013 (UTC)
Since he's very obviously an incarnation of The Doctor, regardless of the alias he goes by (same as The Watcher, The Valeyard, and the Dream Lord), I'm in agreement that he needs to be added. Mewiet 21:40, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

The Curator

It's very obvious that he is a future incarnation of the doctor due to context and dialogue. The Curator even says it is likely that he is the Doctor. It's pretty easy to tell that the Curator is meant to be a very distant future incarnation of the Doctor. Here is my version of it. Evan Norton 18:11, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

Where's Eleven?

For some reason, I can see Eleventh|11 in the source code, but it seems to be entirely overlapped by Twelfth|12 in the actual template?Liam Mars 20:42, December 25, 2013 (UTC)

This is because the template is squashed. I've made a fixed version here, if an admin would care to update it. (The page is locked so only admins can edit). -- RansomTime 21:01, December 25, 2013 (UTC)

The Other

Is there any chance of getting The Other onto this list? (either before 1 or at the back) TheChampionOfTime 01:22, February 20, 2016 (UTC)

Actually, would this work? The Champion of Time 22:46, April 14, 2016 (UTC)
To answer my own question, no it wouldn't! The Champion of Time 04:22, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Future incarnations

Can we add future incarnations, such as "Dr. Smith", "Merlin", Muldwych, The Doctor (The Blue Angel), The Doctor (Seven Keys to Doomsday), The Doctor (Party Animals), etc.? Otherwise, there's a noticeable bias towards televised stories. --Pluto2 (talk) 17:59, January 10, 2017 (UTC)

Personally, I think that Merlin is the only one we should really add. That way we could balance Classic and New incarnations in the bottom half; three for each. OS25 (Talk) 19:38, May 9, 2017 (UTC)

The template looks unbalanced now

12 and 13 now making a second row looks unbalanced. Could the template be changed to be like template:Doctor comics with 1 to 8 on the first row and War to 13 on a second row?
