Just thought I would create a page for Cannon Policy so that something can be worked out. Personally I believe that the following would be the best approach to take, what do other people think?
{{ArchCat}}
 
== Ordinary Text Entries ==
 
* The Television Series (and TV Movie)
 
 
== ''Italics Text Entries'' ==
 
* The Virgin New Adventures
* The Virgin Missing Adventures
* The Decalog Collections
* The BBC EDA
* The BBC PDA (Or Classic's or whatever the range is to be called from now on)
* The Ninth Doctor Novels
* The Big Finish Audio CD's
* The Short Trips Anthologies
* Telos Novellas
* The Missing Adventures (i.e. The Missing Series)
* Other Audio products, e.g. Pescatons, Slipback
 
== Non Doctor Who Stories ==
 
(Possibly also in Italics but does anyone have any other suggestions?)
 
* Bernice Summerfield Range
* Sarah Jane Smith
* Other Companions
* Faction Paradox
* Dalek Empire
* Kaldor City
* Miranda
* Gallifrey Audios
* Time Hunter
* UNIT
 
== Other Stories Which Are Probably Non Considered Cannon But Should Be Included For The Sake Of Completeness ==
 
* Campaign
* Dimension In Time
* The Peter Cushing Movies
* Scream of the Shalka
* Infinity Doctors
 
== Other Material ==
 
Personally with the other material I am undecided as to what I think, I would say no to:
 
* Fan Fiction not licenced, e.g. online fiction or anything produced in Fanzines no matter how well written
* BBV Productions such as the time travellers which was using a Doctor Who concept but not in the same way as the "real show".
 
I am unsure what I think about the inclusion of:
 
* Perfect Trips
* Missing Pieces
* The Various Other Charity Anthologies licenced to be produced
* Brief Encounters
* The Unbound Series from Big Finish
 
As for the Comic Strips I really dont know what I think about those. Personally I would go with include the ones which fit in with continuity and exclude the ones which dont (John and Gillian for example) but this doesnt seem a very consistent policy.
 
See Separately my argument on the use of [[Novelizations]] (Its under discussion tab)
