Tardis:Valid sources/Detailed list

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.

Comics

Range/Work	Approved by	Are there exceptions?
DWU-based comics from Doctor Who Magazine, Doctor Who Adventures, Radio Times, Battles in Time, TV Comic, Countdown/TV Action, TV Century 21, Polystyle Holiday Special, Doctor Who or Dalek annuals, Incredible Hulk Presents, or any other publication which may in future hold a licence from the BBC.	the four little rules; specific cases confirmed at Forum:Is The Forgotten a reliable source?, Thread:213311, Thread:177099, Talk:Tales from the TARDIS (comic series), etc.	Yes: various stories which are parodical or otherwise not intended to be set in the DWU, such as 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 and comics from the Dalek annuals	Forum:Canonicity of Dalek Annuals	Yes: Strange to Tell… According to the Daleks, which isn't narrative enough to pass Rule 1 of the Four Little Rules, and Deadline to Doomsday, which is unproduced as far as licensed Who is concerned (the completed version has never seen a licensed printing).
Faction Paradox comics	the four little rules	No
Miranda	the four little rules	No
Cutaway Comics's Doctor Who spin-offs (e.g. Lytton)	the four little rules	No

Prose

Range/Work	Approved by	Are there exceptions?
Original novels and anthologies made under a BBC license, bearing the logo of Doctor Who or one of its BBC spin-offs	the four little rules	Yes. Some short stories which don't pass Rule 4, such as Verity or TARDIS Stolen!. In addition, any information gleaned from The Infinity Doctors must be described as being true of "The Infinity Doctors universe" — not the mainstream DWU.
Bernice Summerfield Virgin New Adventures	the four little rules	No
Novelisations	Thread:231243	Yes, although not for a Target novelisation: the novelisation of Scream of the Shalka is held to take place outside the valid DWU like the webcast on which it is based.
The Adventures of K9	the four little rules	No
Prose stories from the Dalek annuals	Forum:Canonicity of Dalek Annuals	No
Faction Paradox prose works	Thread:206566	Yes: stories which were only ever published in charity anthologies, such as The Time Wrestlers
P.R.O.B.E. prose works	the four little rules	No
Iris Wildthyme (and related) prose	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	the four little rules	Yes: Under Construction, while printed in the anthology, had no connection to it nor indeed the DWU

TV & other video media

Range/Work	Approved by	Are there exceptions?

BBV Productions or Reeltime Pictures home videos	BBV and canon policy	Many exceptions in BBV's case, as noted in detail here
Tardisodes, Prequels & other BBC minisodes	the four little rules	A few: e.g. P.S., Spider Dalek abd Friend from the Future are considered "deleted scenes" and consequently invalid.
Miscellaneous DWU-licensed webcasts	the four little rules; specific cases confirmed at Thread:246613	A few: e.g. many Big Finish animated "prequels" are marketed as "trailers" and are thus invalid
CGI replacements, Special Editions and other official reedits of official stories	Thread:149385, Thread:211198	Yes: the VHS version of Shada narrated by a fourth-wall-breaking future Doctor is considered "one long deleted scene"
