:: If you accept that the novels, the DWA article, or RTD's interviews are canon, then every TARDIS has had a link since the very early models. If you throw them all out, there's no justification for the link at all, except some fan speculation by people like Gary Russell and Lance Parkin, and I can't imagine that anyone would say their speculations are canon but their novels aren't. There's no way to go half-way, and why do you even want to? --[[Special:Contributions/12.249.226.210|12.249.226.210]] 02:31, September 1, 2011 (UTC) | :: If you accept that the novels, the DWA article, or RTD's interviews are canon, then every TARDIS has had a link since the very early models.

::: Well, at least some of Lance's speculations were published in ''AHistory'', and he did a pretty good job of making it clear when he was relying on the novels and when things were based entirely on TV, so I could imagine someone considering the non-novel parts of ''AHistory'' canon, but not the novels. It would be a bit weird, but not entirely unworkable. But anyway, I agree with your main point (not surprising, since I think you were agreeing with me). -[[Special:Contributions/173.228.85.35|173.228.85.35]] 05:16, September 1, 2011 (UTC) | ::: Well, at least some of Lance's speculations were published in ''AHistory'', and he did a pretty good job of making it clear when he was relying on the novels and when things were based entirely on TV, so I could imagine someone considering the non-novel parts of ''AHistory'' canon, but not the novels.

::: All TARDISes could not have had a direct link to the Eye when the Doctor's TARDIS was created, because by that time, the actual Eye itself had been lost for eons, and the Time Lords weren't even sure it still existed. I don't believe that the Time Lords could somehow install a link to the Eye inside their TARDISes, and not know the location of the Eye. And as I've repeatedly pointed out, if all TARDISes contained such a link, then the Master would've used the one inside Goth's TARDIS to heal himself in The Deadly Assassin, rather than remain a rotting, animated corpse before he discovered the prime Eye. The Master may be insane, but he's not stupid. If the Eyes did always exist, then they must have originally been completely independant of the prime Eye, and it was at some later point they were all linked up to the prime Eye.
