The TARDIS Wiki, (PROSE: Lady Peinforte) stylised as Tardis | Fandom on Petronella Osgood's tab on Chrome, was a website, (WC: The Zygon Isolation) that Lady Peinforte described as a "place of secrets", and which she cribbed from to learn of the Doctor's secrets. (PROSE: Lady Peinforte)

History

After Lady Peinforte and Richard Maynarde travelled forwards in time to Windsor in 1988, she accessed, through unknown means, the TARDIS Wiki, where she learned of the question "Doctor who?" and how his name was "a promise he made to himself to not be cruel or cowardly". She claimed to know of his secrets; that of the Looms, though she deemed those non-canonical; the the Doctor being half-human on his mother's side, which she claimed was "much disregarded"; the Doctor's barn, his departure from Gallifrey in fear of the Hybrid, and Gallifey of the old time. (PROSE: Lady Peinforte)

The human Osgood had the website open in another Chrome tab while settling down to watch Doctor Who on iPlayer with her Zygon counterpart. It bore the heading of "Fandom". Its logo resembled the police box exterior of its timeship namesake. (WC: The Zygon Isolation)

Behind the scenes

Clearly, on both occasions, the references were to this Wiki. Curiously though, PROSE: Lady Peinforte suggests that the in-universe Wiki treats the Looms, an element present in Lungbarrow, as non-canonical; however, this Wiki rejects any form of canon, as well as the fact that PROSE: Lungbarrow has never been treated as non-canonical, or invalid.
