<div id=tech>For technical reasons, the name of the new IDW ''Star Trek''/''Doctor Who'' crossover '''must''' be ''[[Assimilation²]]''.  This is the closest we can come to the intent of the [[indicia]].

Those unfamiliar with the organisation of ''Star Trek'' wikis at Wikia may wonder why we're giving priority to Memory Beta instead of Memory Alpha.  This is because of the scopes of the two wkis.  Memory Alpha views only the TV series and movies as canon, so they will only be covering this publishing event as merchandise.  Memory Beta's approach to canon is much more like ours.  They see this as valid ''because it is licensed''. Therefore their coverage is going to be much more extensive.
