I really do think there should be a standardized format for "adaptation" pages. It seems to me that animated reconstructions are just as much an adaptation of the original story as the novelisations are, and giving them a "Deviations from the original story" section (as seen on novelisation pages and audio adaptations like Cold Fusion) would be very helpful. The constellation of Shada pages provides a (messy) template here.

In any case, based on some reference I'd read on this wiki to Magpie Electricals, I quite genuinely believed it had originated in The Power of the Daleks and was subsequently referenced in NuWho. So cheers everyone for clearing that up!
