As I explained in chat, ''The Minister of Chance'' is not allowed on this wiki. It is, however, ''legal'' because it doesn't tread on the BBC's copyrights, and because its producers have made a point of vigorously asserting in public that it's in no way a part of the DWU.  It is ''original'' fiction and, on that basis, ''legal''. But that's precisely why we don't allow it on this wiki.  It's nothing to do with ''Doctor Who'' or the [[DWU]].
And no, it's not legal to make a spin-off that uses TARDISes. It's not legal for you to make a spin-off of any kind, because my guess is that you don't hold any copyright on anything used to make ''Doctor Who''. In order to make a legal spin-off you'd have to own copyright to ''something'', like a race, a character or a concept seen on ''Doctor Who''.  {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}} 00:23: Sun 15 Sep 2013</span>

Welcome to the Tardis:About Sabovia

Thanks for your edits! We hope you'll keep on editing with us. This is a great time to have joined us, because now you can play the Game of Rassilon with us and win cool stuff! Well, okay, badges. That have no monetary value. And that largely only you can see. But still: they're cool!

We've got a couple of important quirks for a Wikia wiki, so let's get them out of the way first.
British English, please
We generally use British English round these parts, so if you're American, please be sure you set your spell checker to BrEng, and take a gander at our spelling cheat card.
Spoilers aren't cool
We have a strict definition of "spoiler" that you may find a bit unusual. Basically, a spoiler, to us, is anything that comes from a story which has not been released yet. So, even if you've got some info from a BBC press release or official trailer, it basically can't be referenced here. In other words, you gotta wait until the episode has finished its premiere broadcast to start editing about its contents. Please check the spoiler policy for more details.
Other useful stuff
Aside from those two things, we also have some pages that you should probably read when you get a chance, like:

If you're brand new to wiki editing — and we all were, once! —  you probably want to check out these tutorials at Wikipedia, the world's largest wiki:

Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes like this:

Forums

Hi :) Thanks for dropping by today. You're very welcome to be here and to participate in our forum discussions. Just make sure you follow T:FORUM by actually discussing the matter at hand. Please do not make frivolous or off-topic contributions to our forum threads. In most circumstances just saying "ok" in a thread isn't necessary, and it merely wastes vertical space. In every circumstance, randomly saying "I like trains" is unproductive. So, please, talk—but stay on topic.

Minister of Chance

It is, however, legal because it doesn't tread on the BBC's copyrights, and because its producers have made a point of vigorously asserting in public that it's in no way a part of the DWU. It is original fiction and, on that basis, legal. But that's precisely why we don't allow it on this wiki. It's nothing to do with Doctor Who or the DWU.
