The "(in-universe)" disambiguation term should be used to dab any in-universe thing named after an out-of-universe thing. For example, [[Tom Baker (in-universe)]], [[William Hartnell (in-universe)]], [[Doctor Who (in-universe)]] and [[Doctor Who Series 9 (in-universe)]] and [[The Five Doctors (in-universe)]].
