Was just reading up on that archived discussion, and I have to ask: why is [[Assimilation² (comic story)|Assimilation²]] still regarded as canon when [[Star Trek (franchise)|Star Trek]] has also been established as fictional like EastEnders?

: The above statement is inaccurate. As the official [[T:CANON|canon policy]] states, this wiki has no canon. In particular, ''[[Assimilation² (comic story)|Assimilation²]]'' is not canon. Note also that some of the old discussions still operate in the times when canon existed. So reading them now may be a bit confusing in relation to the current rules. Stories are considered valid when they pass the [[T:VS|four validity rules]]. Please also be aware of [[T:BOUND]]: a validity discussion should not be reopened unless you have some piece of information that has not been discussed in the original discussion. Finally, regarding fictional characters, there is a place for them in DWU: it's called the [[Land of Fiction]]. So being fictional does not automatically disqualify a character/story. What matters is whether it is properly integrated with the DWU as a whole. If there is an explanation of how they are related, the story can (but don't have to) be valid.

Request move to Dimensions in Time (TV story)
Although not canon, it was still broadcast on TV. The templates for the Doctor Who Answers wiki, a spin-off of this site, default to having "(TV story)" in the links, so anyone attempting to discuss Dimensions in Time at that site is unable to properly cite the story. In addition, a disambiguation is needed given there is another TV episode with a similar title (as noted on the page). Could an admin please move this to Dimensions in Time (TV story)? Thanks. 68.146.70.124talk to me 15:52, February 9, 2014 (UTC)
This is canon
I read the archive for the talk of this page and my question is why is this non-canon. And in addition, in First Frontier, The Seventh Doctor says that Dimensions in Time was a dream so why not canon? Dragonulteo ☎ 15:01, February 17, 2014 (UTC)
- It's not canon on this wiki. You can read the discussions that took place at Forum:Is Dimensions in Time canon and Tardis talk:Canon policy. Thanks! Shambala108 ☎ 15:04, February 17, 2014 (UTC)
