Ack, sorry. I am sort of snappish these days because for obvious reasons, people who go "the Timeless Child has been on television now, which overwrites the Other and all that nonsense, Chibnall is the One True Canon", even unconsciously, rub me the wrong way — and there have been a lot such people cropping up on the Internet since last Sunday. Sorry to sort of project that on you if you're not one of that lot.

And to be clearer, what I was disputing was more that The Timeless Children should have any impact in particular on how we cover the Morbius Doctors, not that the Morbius Doctors could reasonably reckoned to be immediately pre-Hartnell. I'm not sure what you mean by “no one said all pre-Hartnell versions of the character were the Timeless Child, just that they weren't "the Doctor"”, either. What evidence do you have of that? I mean, our page is currently called The Doctor (The Brain of Morbius), which rather implies that as far as we know those regenerations did call themselves Doctor.
