{{Main|Ace's timeline}}

''to be added''

[[Dalek Caan]] crossed his own timeline ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=2|chaptname=Brave New World|page=47}}, {{cs|Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)|ed=2011 edition|page=355}}) when he used an [[emergency temporal shift]] going from [[Manhattan]] in [[1930]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Evolution of the Daleks (TV story)}}) back through the [[Time War time lock|time lock]] into the [[Last Great Time War]], where he retrieved [[Davros]] from his [[Davros's command ship|command ship]]. This act drove him [[insane]] but allowed him to see the [[future]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Stolen Earth (TV story)}})

{{Main|The Doctor's time stream}}

As [[Tasha Lem]] explained to the Eleventh Doctor, the [[Kovarian Chapter]] travelled back along [[the Doctor's time stream|his timeline]] in [[War against the Doctor|an ultimately vain attempt]] to prevent him from reaching [[Trenzalore]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time of the Doctor (TV story)}}) [[Missy]] told the [[Twelfth Doctor]] that she had been "up and down his timeline", meeting people who had died for him. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Death in Heaven (TV story)}}) The whole of the Doctor's time stream could be accessed from his tomb on [[Trenzalore]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Name of the Doctor (TV story)}})

The [[Ninth Doctor]] explained to [[Rose Tyler]] that he could not go back and warn [[human]]ity of [[Battle of the Game Station|a Dalek invasion]] because once [[the TARDIS]] landed he became part of [[event]]s, "stuck in the timeline". Soon after, he apparently realised that he could indeed "cross [his] own timeline", however, this was but a ruse to get Rose into the TARDIS to [[safety]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'') Similarly, the [[Tenth Doctor]] told [[Wilfred Mott]] that he could not go back in time and catch {{Simm}} yester[[day]] as he could not go back within "[his] own timeline", that he had to stay relative to the Master within the [[causal nexus]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'')

When [[Taphony]], a [[Time Blank]], artifically accelerated [[Professor]] [[Alistair Gryffen]]'s physical [[age]], she had caused a major disruption in his timeline, which would only stop if Taphony was removed from the [[space-time continuum]] prior to his [[birthday]], at which point the condition would become permanent. Ultimately, the disruption caused by Taphony was negated when she agreed to depart to another time continuum through the [[Space-Time Manipulator]], reversing [[time]] to just prior to her arrival at [[Gryffen Manor]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Taphony and the Time Loop (TV story)}})

In [[1901]], having been buried alive since [[27]], [[Jack Harkness]] told [[Torchwood Cardiff]] operatives [[Alice Guppy]] and [[Charles Gaskell]] that, as he had crossed his own timeline by being brought back in time to this point by [[John Hart]], he could not be allowed to meet his past self, so he requested to be [[cryofreeze|cryofrozen]] for the next [[107 (number)|hundred and seven]] years. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Exit Wounds (TV story)}})

Catching up with the [[Tenth Doctor]], Jack revealed that he had spent over a [[century]] waiting for a version of [[the Doctor]] that coincided with his own timeline. He also admitted that he had went to see [[Rose Tyler]] at the [[Powell Estate]] before she had met him, Jack cited "timelines and all that" as he clarified that he did not approach her. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Utopia (TV story)}}, [[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who: The Encyclopedia (reference book)|ed=2011 reprint|page=149}})

After the [[Justice Department]] [[vehicle]] ''[[Teselcta]]'' travelled through time to punish [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Jim (Let's Kill Hitler)|Jim]] reported that they were too early as they were in [[1938]] and so needed to go later in his time stream. The ''Teselecta'' was [[crash landing|crashed]] into by the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] before this could be done. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Let's Kill Hitler (TV story)}})

After [[Sixth Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka|Tegan]], and [[Gareth Jenkins (A Fix with Sontarans)|Gareth Jenkins]] defeated [[Group Marshal]] [[Nathan (A Fix with Sontarans)|Nathan]] and [[Turner (A Fix with Sontarans)|his subordinate]] from the [[Tenth Sontaran Battle Brigade]], ([[HOMEVID]]: {{cs|A Fix with Sontarans (home video)}}) within the space of a few [[hour]]s, the Sixth Doctor returned Gareth to his correct time-stream. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Fixing a Hole (short story)}})

{{Main|Sam Jones's timeline}}

''to be added''

Discovering the presence of [[Thijarian]]s in [[1947]] [[Punjab]], the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] abandoned her mantra of not interfering to ensure that nothing would happen to [[Umbreen]] so that [[Yasmin Khan]]'s timeline wouldn't be [[temporal dissolution|erased]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Demons of the Punjab (TV story)}})

In his [[Timeline Error Incident|encounter]] with the [[First Doctor]], the [[Twelfth Doctor]] interfered in the timeline of [[Archibald Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart]] by not returning him to the moment when he would have been killed by a [[German soldier (Twice Upon a Time)|German soldier]] at [[Ypres]], but at the start of the [[Christmas truce]] a few [[hour]]s later. Whilst the Doctor justified this action as being just one less [[dead body]] on a [[battlefield]], the [[Time Lord]]s noted that the survival of Lethbridge-Stewart and the [[Lethbridge-Stewart family|subsequent lineage]] that resulted from it had a significant impact on events that occured on [[Earth]] from that point on. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual (reference book)}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}})

By one account, at the time of his arrival on [[Earth]], the Time Lords had intended to throw {{Delgado}}'s life-stream into reverse such that he [[Temporal dissolution|would have never existed]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|name="terror"}})

[[Missy]] explained to the [[Saxon Master]] that the two of them coming into contact "put the timelines out of sync". As a result, the Master would not retain his [[memory]] of the event and so Missy would not remember having met herself. However, Missy did evidently remember enough to keep a spare [[dematerialisation circuit]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Doctor Falls (TV story)}}) and her theory was disputed by yet other accounts. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|Time Crash (TV story)}})

{{Main|Donna Noble's timeline}}

[[Donna Noble]]'s [[Donna Noble's timeline|timeline]] was manipulated by [[Dalek Caan]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Journey's End (TV story)}}, etc.) and, once, disrupted by the [[Time Beetle]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=3|chaptname=Everything Changes|page=132}}, {{cs|The Visual Dictionary: Updated and Expanded (reference book)|page=41}})

Dalek Caan manipulated it to ensure that she would reunite with the [[Tenth Doctor]] and bring about the downfall of the [[New Dalek Empire]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Journey's End (TV story)}}, etc.) and the Time Beetle altered it to feed off the [[time energy]] caused by the disruption, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=3|chaptname=Everything Changes|page=132}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|Turn Left (TV story)}}) resulting in the creation of [[Parallel world (Turn Left)|a parallel world]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Turn Left (TV story)}})

The [[Twelfth Doctor]] once attempted to prove his [[theory]] that everyone's shared dream kf waking up in the middle of the night to be grabbed by an unseen hand was a genuine phenomenon, he had [[Clara Oswald]] place her fingers into the [[telepathic circuits]] so that [[the Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] could extrapolate her entire timeline so that the memory of her own nightmare could guide them to the event itself. Later, due to [[Danny Pink]] bsing a part of her timeline, the traces left in the telepathic circuits led the Doctor to [[Orson Pink]], a time traveller from Clara's future. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Listen (TV story)}})

After Clara was extracted from the end of her time stream by the [[extraction chamber]], mere moments before her death by [[Quantum Shade]], the Doctor deceived the [[Time Lord]]s into believing that she could give them details about [[the Hybrid]]. She appeared in the [[Capitol]]'s [[extraction chamber 7]], after which the Doctor attempted to flee [[Gallifrey]] with her in [[Clara's TARDIS|a stolen TARDIS]]. Inside, the Doctor asked Clara to check her [[pulse]], hoping her timeline had restarted. Ultimately, Clara used a [[neural block]] to erase the Doctor's [[memory]] of her before returning "the long way round" to meet her fate on Gallifrey. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Hell Bent (TV story)}})

[[Rosa Parks]]'s timeline was targeted by [[Krasko]], in a bid to prevent Rosa from becoming a "legend of the [[civil rights movement]]." ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|All About Yaz (short story)|page=13}}) Krasko's plans were foiled by the [[Thirteenth Doctor]], [[Yasmin Khan]], [[Graham O'Brien]] and [[Ryan Sinclair]], ensuring history took its proper course. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Rosa (TV story)}})

[[Danny Pink]]'s timeline had a high chance of intersecting with [[Clara Oswald]]'s at the [[3W Institute]]; the [[Twelfth Doctor]] had [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]] travel to this point via Clara's connection to the [[telepathic circuits]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dark Water (TV story)}})

The timeline of [[Jeanne-Antoinette Poisson]] in [[pre-Revolutionary France]] was connected at various points through [[spatio-temporal hyperlink]]s to the ''[[SS Madame de Pompadour]]'' in the [[51st century]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)|chaptnum=4|chaptname=The Great and Bountiful Human Empires|page=168}}, {{cs|Companions and Allies (reference book)|namedpart=You were my life|page=72}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|The Girl in the Fireplace (TV story)}})

After [[Rory Williams]] was erased by the [[time field]], [[Amy Pond]]'s own history changed and thus she had to exert effort in order to maintain [[history-proofing|the memories]] of Rory, but she was distracted and failed. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Cold Blood (TV story)}})

The [[Eleventh Doctor]] once hijacked the [[temporal engine]]s in the [[Two Streams Facility]] to fold Amy's timeline to bring the past version of her forwards in time to thr same point as [[Amy Pond (The Girl Who Waited)|her aged counterpart]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Girl Who Waited (TV story)}})

{{Video|A Phone Call - Face The Raven Preview - Doctor Who Series 9 - BBC|thumb|right|315px}}

During [[Rigsy]]'s [[phone]]call to [[Clara Oswald]] about [[chronolock|a mysterious tattoo]] he had no memory of getting, she told him that neither she nor the [[Twelfth Doctor]] would take him down his timeline to avert its creation. ([[TV]]: {{Cs|Face the Raven (TV story)}})

In his attempt to recruit [[River Song]] for the [[Battle of Demons Run]], [[Rory Williams]] acknowledged time streams when he asked her if she had met him yet. ([[TV]]: {{cs|A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)}})

''more to be added''

The [[Fourth Doctor]] repelled the [[Sontaran invasion of Gallifrey]] by using the [[De-mat Gun]] to destroy the [[Sontaran]] [[Commander]] [[Stor]], rewriting history to eradicate his timeline. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Whoniverse (novel)}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|The Invasion of Time (TV story)}})

After [[Percy Noggins]] stopped being a threat to the [[Fourth Doctor]], he went home to look after his elderly grandmother, [[Ernestina Stott]]. After discovering a mention of Ernestina in an old [[almanac]] that stated that she had a strange experience in [[Cromer]] after being stung by a [[hornet]], he followed Ernestina's personal timeline back to this event. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Dead Shoes (audio story)}})

When the [[Timewyrm]] appeared in [[Great Britain]] in [[1981]], it stated the timestream was in flux before becoming trapped in [[puterspace]] by the [[Seventh Doctor]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Last Word (comic story)}})

[[Rose Tyler]] crossed her own timeline when she had the [[Ninth Doctor]] take her back to see the [[car accident]] which killed her [[father]], [[Pete Tyler]], a second time, causing a [[weak point in time]]. When she stepped in to save her father's [[life]], this weak point became a [[wound in time]] through which the [[Reaper]]s came through to sterilise it. They were stopped when Pete, in act of [[self-sacrifice]], allowed himself to be hit by the car that had killed him, having been suspended in a small [[time loop]] after Rose saved him. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Time Traveller's Almanac (reference book)}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|Father's Day (TV story)}})
