+The '''TARDIS Wiki''', ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lady Peinforte (short story)}}) also known as the '''Data Core''' to the [[Plume Coteries|Bookkeepers]] of [[Plume Coteries' Library|the Library]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|name=TBotS12}}) and stylised as '''Tardis | [[Fandom]]''' on [[Petronella Osgood]]'s [[computer tab|tab]] on [[Google Chrome|Chrome]], ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Zygon Isolation (webcast)}}) was a [[Wiki]] which was "famous" for its thorough coverage of subjects; others, alternately, deemed the Wiki to be "infamous" and that it took itself "too seriously". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|name=TBotS12}})
+[[Lady]] [[Peinforte]], on one occasion, described the Wiki as a "place of [[secret]]s", subsequently [[Plagiarism|cribbing from it]] to learn of [[the Doctor]]'s secrets. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lady Peinforte (short story)}})
+The Wiki used [[disambiguation term]]s, alternately known as "dab terms" in their lingo. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|name=TBotS12}})
+== History ==
+After [[Lady]] [[Peinforte]] and [[Richard Maynarde]] [[time travel|travelled forwards in time]] to [[Windsor]] in [[1988]], she accessed, through unknown means, the TARDIS Wiki, where she learned of the question "[[The Question|Doctor who?]]" and how his name was "[[The Doctor (title)|a promise he made to himself to not be cruel or cowardly]]". She claimed to know of his secrets; that of the [[Loom]]s, though she deemed those non-[[canonicity|canonical]]; the [[The Doctor's species|the Doctor being half-human]] on [[Penelope Gate|his mother]]'s side, which she claimed was "much disregarded"; [[Barn (The Day of the Doctor)|the Doctor's barn]], his departure from [[Gallifrey]] in fear of [[the Hybrid]], and Gallifey of [[Dark Times|the old time]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Lady Peinforte (short story)}})
+The [[human]] [[Petronella Osgood|Osgood]] had the website open in another [[Google Chrome|Chrome]] [[computer tab|tab]] while settling down to watch ''[[Doctor Who (in-universe)|Doctor Who]]'' on [[iPlayer]] with her [[Zygon Osgood|Zygon counterpart]]. It bore the heading of "[[Fandom]]". Its [[logo]] resembled the [[police box]] exterior of its [[The Doctor's TARDIS|timeship namesake]]. ([[WC]]: {{cs|The Zygon Isolation (webcast)}})
+In [[2033]] in the [[925th Universe]], many fandom wikis including the Data Core and [[Wikipedia]] were merged into [[the Wiki]], a singular wiki, partially to quell the backlog of inclusion debates in each wiki's forums. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Book of the Snowstorm (short story)|namedpart=Scene 8|name=TBotS8}}) In the [[M.F.S. Scottish Division]] building, [[Tetra-None Hepta-Oct]] used [[Doctor Know]]'s [[Doctor Know's computer|computer]] to research [[the Snowstorm]], the Library, and [[Coloth]]'s friends, and began printing out the results. She hit a [[feedback loop]] in the computer when it attempted to pull results from the former Data Core about ''[[The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe)|The Book of the Snowstorm]]''; due to their thorough coverage of anything that warranted coverage and usage of [[disambiguation term]]s, as well as "in-universe" versions of the book existing within other "in-universe" versions of the book, the dab terms accumulated upon themselves. Apart from [[The Book of the Snowstorm (anthology) (in-universe)|The Book of the Snowstorm (anthology)]] and [[The Book of the Snowstorm (disambiguation) (in-universe)|The Book of the Snowstorm (disambiguation)]], the Wiki covered [[The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe)|The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe)]], [[The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe)|The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe)]], [[The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe)|The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe)]], [[The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe)|The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe)]], and so on, for infinity. The printer printed out an entire stack of pages containing just results from the feedback loop, with later pages being completely consumed with dab terms. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|name=TBotS12}})
 == Behind the scenes ==
-* This was a reference to this very wiki.
+* It has become a minor running joke in ''Doctor Who'' related media to depict in-universe versions of [[Doctor Who Wiki|the Tardis Wiki]] existing within the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]].
-{{Doctor Who}}
+** The short story {{cs|name=TBotS12}} took the joke further, showing that, due to the Wiki existing in countless universes, both the numerous in-universe Wikis and the real Wiki have become recursive due to the respective Wikis covering ''[[The Book of the Snowstorm (anthology)|The Book of the Snowstorm]]'' anthology, all containing in-universe versions of the Wiki. From our perspective, this Wiki is the sixth Wiki to cover the in-universe wiki pages about ''The Book of the Snowstorm''.
+* In the short story {{cs|Lady Peinforte (short story)}}, the titular [[Lady Peinforte]] claims that several concepts covered by the in-universe Wiki, such as [[Loom]]s, and by extension, anything else in ''[[Doctor Who and Lungbarrow (in-universe)|Lungbarrow]]'', are non-canonical. The ''real world'' Wiki, however, has a neutral [[T:VALID|set of rules about both coverage and "validity"]], [[T:CAN|having asserted since 2012 that there is no canon]].
+** In the ''real world'' Wiki, ''Lungbarrow'' is actually considered a valid source, and, in keeping with [[T:NPOV]], is considered equally alongside "other accounts" for [[the Doctor's early life]] and [[Time Lord history]] generally.
+* {{as of|March 2024}}, all stories that have depicted the in-universe wiki have been published prior to this wiki's fork from [[Fandom]].
