For simpler reading, [[tardis:valid sources|our valid sources page]] mainly concentrates on the guidelines surrounding valid sources. The following list — which is comprehensive but probably not completely exhaustive — is for people who like to look at the world in a more detailed and specific way. Although we may have missed the odd story here, you can probably assume that if a story doesn't appear on this list, it's '''''not''''' a valid source. | For simpler reading, [[tardis:valid sources|our valid sources page]] mainly concentrates on the guidelines surrounding valid sources.

(comic series)|Doctor Who?]]''; a handful of stories which do not have enough of a narrative to pass Rule 1, such as ''[[And Introducing...]]''. [[Thread:246276]] disallowed coverage of ''Death's Head: The Body in Question''. [[Thread:272468]] ruled the [[BBC Writers' Comics]] invalid. [[Thread:177099]] ruled the ''[[WeLoveTITANS]]'' comics invalid. | |||
|- | |||
|Individually-licensed [[Dalek]] comics such as ''[[The Dalek Chronicles (comic series)|The Dalek Chronicles]]'' and comics from the [[Dalek annual]]s || [[Forum:Canonicity of Dalek Annuals]] || Yes: ''[[Strange to Tell...

|Original novels and anthologies made under a BBC license, bearing the logo of ''Doctor Who'' or one of its BBC spin-offs || [[Tardis:Valid sources#Four little rules|the four little rules]] || Yes. Some short stories which don't pass [[Tardis:Valid sources|Rule 4]], such as ''[[Verity (short story)|Verity]]'' or ''[[TARDIS Stolen! (short story)|TARDIS Stolen!]]''. In addition, any information gleaned from ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'' must be described as being true of "[[The Infinity Doctors universe]]" — not the mainstream [[DWU]]. | |||

|Novelisations || [[Thread:231243]] || Yes, although not for a [[Target novelisation|''Target'' novelisation]]: the [[Scream of the Shalka (novelisation)|novelisation]] of ''[[Scream of the Shalka (webcast)|Scream of the Shalka]]'' is held to take place outside the vlaid DWU like the webcast on which it is based. | |||

| [[Iris Wildthyme]] (and related) prose || [[Forum:Early Wildthyme books|Early Wildthyme books]], [[Forum:Iris Wildthyme: should she stay or should she go?]] || Generally no. However, Iris stories only published in charity anthologies are not to be covered by the Wiki. In addition, stories predating Iris's permanent "inoculation" into the DWU, namely the ''Phoenix Court'' series of novels, had no tie to the DWU upon release and are consequentl not covered on the Wiki. [[Thread:117545]] also ruled that ''The Periodic Adventures of Señor 105'', a spin-off of Obverse's ''Iris Wildthyme'' books, fell outside the scope of this Wiki except insofar as it once again crossed over with Iris's worl ddirectly. | |||
|- | |||
|''[[Cyberon (anthology)|Cyberon]]'' || [[Tardis:Valid sources#Four little rules|the four little rules]] || Yes: ''Under Construction'', while printed in the anthology, had no connection to it nor indeed the DWU | |||
