::The source is [[DWN]]: ''[[Mindwarp (novelisation)|Mindwarp]]'' | |||
::I think what Bob means by "the determination of the wiki" is this: | |||
::It has generally been accepted that novelisations can be used for correct spelling, but that they are secondary sources. This means that if '''any''' original narrative -- be it TV, comic, novel whatever -- offers a spelling or fact that differs from the novelisation, the novelisation "loses". As far as I know, no primary source contradicts the Target book, so ''Ravolox'' it is. | |||
::Relevant discussions on this policy include: [[Forum:Changing novelisation prefix and a question as to novelisation canonicity]] and [[tardis talk:canon policy#Novelisations]], which is what actually resulted in the current revision of this issue in [[T:CANON|canon policy]]. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">00:44: Sat 17 Dec 2011 </span> | |||
