I propose that lists of appearances have a section after the main one with non-canonical appearances, i.e. K-9 appearing on Blue Peter, Search Out Science, comedy skits featuring canonical Doctors, etc. see my edit of Barbara Wright - List of Appearances. (note that I removed the novelisations from Target novelisations since the first three novelisations preceded Target Books, though they later appeared under that imprint. and I hadn't added any of the actual Target novelisations specifically written for that line.) (actually novelisations probably count more as a gray area in terms of canon.) --Stardizzy2 01:42, November 20, 2009 (UTC)

This seems like a good idea, as I don't think the info is collected anywhere else.

The novelisations are somewhat of a grey area, but they are considered a valid resource...to a point (see Tardis:Canon policy#Secondary Resources), so I think they can still be included with the Prose section of the main list. --Tangerineduel 15:07, November 20, 2009 (UTC)
