Tardis:Valid sources/Detailed list
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
For simpler reading, 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.
If you think we've missed something, please start a thread at the Panopticon requesting clarification.
