I think the biggest issue with integrating this kind of thing too deeply into the wiki is how subjective a lot of the placements can be -- for a lot of the Short Trips stuff, for example, the only real clue towards placement is Doctor/companion, so who's to say exactly when a DWA Eleven/Amy/Rory story takes place? A lot of First Doctor and Susan stories could be either pre-An Unearthly Child or Ian and Barbara could be just off-screen. Even if you can identify the TV gap it takes place in, who's to say in what order Weapons of Past Destruction, The Deviant Strain, Only Human, and Night of the Whisper occur inside that gap? A good way to illustrate this is to look at how different Kearley and DWG list the pre-AUC stories -- neither order are wrong, and neither is more right than the other.
