Okay, so the Faction Paradox wiki angle is the following.
User:Pluto2 originally put in the alias, and then User:Revanvolatrelundar removed it. There was a small edit war that followed involving them, User:NateBumber and User:Fwhiffahder.
This issue then moved to the talk page, where discussion included quotes like:
"Personally, I don't like the War Chief = Master idea at all. But the sordid details of that question are the Doctor Who wiki's problem, not ours — this page only mentions the War Chief at all because of the hypercube connection in The Book of the War."
The hypercube connection being:
"Taking the name of War Chief, the renegade joined forces with a lesser species group known as the War Lords. Together, they collected and brainwashed human soldiers from various wars in Earth's history, in an effort to build an army. The Doctor used a hypercube to summon the Time Lords to deal with the situation. (TV: The War Games) As the War King, he would keep a hypercube as a memento on his desk. (PROSE: War King)"
Someone else points out "In Invasion of the Cat People, Magnus is actually mentioned by name. And that book came out well before Dark Path. So a friend named Magnus, separate from Koschei, was floating around as an idea for a while."
The discussion then is never resolved in 2017. The most recent post is in May of 2020, using similar arguments as to the ones in the OP, and while it's not the same IP, they share the first three numbers so are close geographically. Likely the same user on different computers. (I say this not from paranoia, but just to point this out for full transparency.)
So the FP wiki was going off of a hypercube on The War King's desk (which, fair enough, is how FP hints at things), but seemed utterly uninterested at actually resolving the issue and instead said it was up to this wiki to do so.
