:But either way, more than 10 years later and you're still right that we still need a page for [[God of the Fourth]] (right now it just redirects to [[Time Lord]]). – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 15:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | :But either way, more than 10 years later and you're still right that we still need a page for [[God of the Fourth]] (right now it just redirects to [[Time Lord]]). – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 15:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC) | ||
::Not convinced it shouldn't be — unless we start creating pages for all the synonyms of "Time Lords" that have popped up over the years. I'm very unconvinced by any notion that within the ''DCtT'' cosmology those are different things. This whole notion that the Time Lords who are seen to the mysterious cosmic power are a specific fractional group increasingly seems like a fan confabulation to account for the supposed powerlessness of most Time Lords seen throughout the Classic Series, but surely the clear idea is simply that they took their non-interference vows seriously; "why have the power if you can't use it?", etc. I think [[The Fraction]] should be rewritten to simply quote Tannis's line, and any notion that the Saints, Minister and Doctor were members of the Fraction should be moved to BTS as merely a possible reading of the text.
