Also, how do we deal with things like "Home Planet" and "Affiliation", or even "Name" if they are not all the same? Would we have three separate Infoboxes within the article? We also have a birth and death date for Clara Oswin, and the issue of species for Oswin (human or Dalek?)

It's somewhat ironic that the conversation has bent in the direction of one page, when before we met the contemporary Clara, the consensus seemed to point to separation until proven same.

Also, minor point against "same person": Clara Oswin died just after her 23rd birthday (her gravestone), while Clara is at least 24 when she meets the Doctor (her book).

Didn't see this post.

Order: in the order that the Doctor meets them (or that we see them)

Infobox: No, not multiple infoboxes — that would be ridiculous! No, one infobox with all the information. What's so complicated?

As far as age, why does that matter? We clearly met a child version (around 8). Then again, it's technically possible that she originated as Prequel/Bells Clara, then went to Victorian London and became Snowmen Clara, then Asylum, but that would be a boring plot line.

Order: That works, for now. But again, we seem to be being led on a path where Clara influences the Oswin and Clara Oswin that The Doctor has met already. Obviously no hard proof for it yet, but something to keep an eye on, to be sure.

Infobox:

  • Home Planet - Earth? We don't know that for sure with Oswin.
  • Affiliation - Very varied from one Oswald to the next
  • Name (the big bold name at the top of it) - "Oswin Oswald"/"Clara Oswin Oswald"/"Clara Oswald"/"Ms. Oswald"/"Oswald"?
  • Image - A set of three images, or one?

Age: True. And I was wrong anyway, so it doesn't make much difference there.
