This wiki currently does not cover The Periodic Adventures of Señor 105, despite being a spinoff of Iris Wildthyme, because its creator, Cody Schell asked for it not to be covered. However, I've seen at least two users say that they believe this to be because he misunderstood the scope of this wiki. From what I've seen, I think this is the case and that the series should be both covered and valid. I think the ideal thing to do would be to get into contact with Schell and explain to him that this wiki covers things which are only narrowly tied to Doctor Who. Cgl1999 07:05, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Discussion

That could work. I do think this is the only time an entire series hasn't been covered due to apparent authorial intent and yet it failed none of T:VS...

Also Cody's views on the series won't be enough to prevent the series from being covered anyway, given we listen to individual authors; so if an author of a later book in the series did intend for it to be set in the DWU and it was licensed, we'd cover it.
