:::::Well with Varga Plants, could simply go to the conclusion of evolution. And really, we should put all the video games in the same kind of placement we put the books, audios and other expanded universe media. I mean with any video game, the same conclusion is the objective to win which you would get the ending of the story. Also how the Doctor can travel to a place like Skaro, it's kinda explained in ''[[War of the Daleks]]'' but other than that, whibbly whobbly, timey whimey. --[[User:Vitas|Vitas]] 08:33, June 11, 2010 (UTC) | :::::Well with Varga Plants, could simply go to the conclusion of evolution.

:I'm going to repeat what I said above. Treat the ''City of the Daleks'' as a secondary source as we do the novelisations. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 13:58, June 11, 2010 (UTC) | |||
::Yes like the novels, books, comics, annuals etc. And just to say Attack of the Graske is an interactive episode, not a video like City of the Daleks. Big difference. --[[User:Vitas|Vitas]] 08:47, June 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::No, ''not'' like the novels, etc.--those are ''primary'' sources for this wiki. It's only ''novelisations'' that are secondary sources. And, unlike, say, Star Wars, there are no "levels of canon" within the primary sources; there's just primary and secondary. So, if something in an EDA contradicts something on TV, you have to weasel around it and say there are conflicting accounts or the like; you can't just say the EDA is wrong. But if an EDA contradicts a Target, or a video game, the Target, or the game, is wrong. See [[Tardis:Canon policy]] for details. (I can't say this is the same decision I would have made, but the reality is that we needed a decision, and I'm happy he's made one.) | |||
:::Also, the distinction between "interactive episode" and "video game" doesn't seem particularly important for a discussion of canon. ''Graske'' has multiple endings and involves the viewer/player as a character, while ''City'' has a single ending and has the viewer/player controlling the Doctor, so ''Graske'' is actually much, much harder to fit into continuity, not easier. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 11:28, June 13, 2010 (UTC) | |||
::: I think that, for the video games, we should just incorporate the basic plotline into articles for characters etc, and try to avoid talking about the gameplay effects. And maybe create a new tag for articles containing information from video games i.e "The Following section contains information from a video game".
