Handbooks are certainly not valid, especially when they're not Doctor Who handbooks. To put it simply, handbooks often just get elements of stories blatantly wrong. Furthermore, this wiki is a handbook. It would be quite toxic if we took other handbook's misinterpretations of elements to be of note. So we cover elements exclusively from narrative works.
"I think it might be worth creating a new thread on specifically how the DW multiverse overlaps with the Marvel multiverse, especially since they seem to share the 8162 reality. If I did so, where would I create that thread?"
There is no need, because there is no defacto and accepted "Doctor Who Multiverse." You can't really say "The Star Trek crossover is set in the Star Trek multi-verse and not the Doctor Who multiverse," because we have no real concept of when stories aren't set in our Doctor's multi-verse. If the Doctor discusses another universe in this comic series, trying to claim that universe exists outside of the Doctor's own multi-verse is blatant speculation based on material outside of the narrative text. Furthermore, you would have serious trouble finding any comic in DWM or the Death's Head series that ever mentions this, so you really don't have much footing to make a debate out of it.
Most of the Marvel rules about which stories happen in what universes came into being long after these pages came to be. So the text of any reference book outside of this publication has no real role in this forum.
