As regards the omnipresence of the linking templates: until they can be phased out, it will be trivial to change e.g. {{tlx|Gomez}} from pointing to [[The Master#As Missy]] to simply pointing to [[Missy]]. As such, with relatively few edits, all the current links will reremain functional.

:Memes and I have disagreed loudly and vehemently regarding the Master in the past, most recently regarding the [[Thirteenth Doctor's forced regeneration]]. But I've been mulling over his Master incarnation sandboxes for, well, ''years'' now, and I have to admit – they've totally won me over. Some aspects which I think place this proposal, specifically, ahead of all the failed proposals of yesteryear: | |||
:#wisely delaying the debate about naming to the talk pages, rather than trying to settle it all right here and now. Story dabs represent a neutral and natural Schelling point so we can get the split done without getting bogged down in the details of (for instance) whether or not "Bruce Master" is unusably speculative. | |||
:#the [[Decayed Master]] masterstroke. Rather than picking one or the other conflicting account of the Master's timeline (which was one of the originally-cited reasons for consolidation into a single page), we can cover the Decayed Master as an archetype, linking to separate body possessions where they apply and discussing different accounts of the regeneration timeline in a neutral fashion. | |||
:My belief is that this proposal is the best possible vehicle for swiftly and unanimously cleaning up the unreadable, borderline uneditable mess that is [[The Master]] once and for all. I '''bombastically''' support the above. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 14:10, 2 January 2023 (UTC) | |||
