The TARDIS Doctor Who wiki's point of view (POV) is that of a character inside the fictional Doctor Who universe (or Whoniverse, if you prefer). The only exceptions to this rule are articles about the Doctor Who franchise and production (eg. articles on tv series, books, comics, actors, staff, etc.), which naturally are not part of the Doctor Who universe. All other articles should be written as if the described person/object/etc. actually exists, exactly like a normal encyclopedia. Think of this wiki as an encyclopedia that exists in the Doctor Who universe.
Undisclosed information
There are some cases in Doctor Who stories in which it was made clear that certain information is highly classified, or entirely unknown due to memory wipes or similar plot twists. While in theory these things are not known to anyone within the Doctor Who universe, this wiki's POV is all-knowing, just like the television viewer.
Examples
Use
- "...Liz Shaw was a companion of the Third Doctor during the early part of his exile on Earth..."
Instead of
- "...Liz Shaw is a fictional character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who..."
