 I find it a bit hard to believe that Roden would write a story that effectively acts as a prelude to Dimensions in Time, adapted from material originally intended for Dimensions in Time, if his intent as a writer was not that Dimensions was part of the DWU.

+::This is some very impressive research-work, but it is ''completely'' improper to hold a discussion like this on a talk page. As soon as we have Forums again, you can create a forum thread with much the same content as the above. But '''no discussion is to start, or any action to be taken, based on ''this'' discussion.''' But you do have a strong case and some very compelling new evidence to justify the creation of that thread. Rule 4 concerns were always secondary to the Rule 2 concerns in this discussion, with the received wisdom being basically that we covered ''Dimensions in Time'' as a special exception, but that for all intents and purposes it was just the TV equivalent of a charity book.
+::Also, while I'm here, let me note that we recently had a thread on "Sequels/prequels to invalid stories" which confirmed that such stories are not ''necessarily'' invalid by association, but also declined to validate ''[[Rescue (short story)|Rescue]]'' from the get-go, because it was possible that if JNT didn't think ''DiT'' was in the DWU, Rodden agreed, and therefore, also being the author of ''Rescue'', that would have meant he also set it outside the DWU. However, an option for an individual ''Rescue'' inclusion debate in the long run was left open.
+::(I'd link you to the thread, but for the time being the Forum archives are inaccessible due to the UCP move.)[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|Scrooge MacDuck]] [[User talk:Scrooge MacDuck|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 15:08, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
