To clarify, the essence of a charity work here on the wiki is how it's most often ''used'': to legally distribute DWU content without obtaining a commercial license, most often from the BBC. It's for that reason that any charity work fails rule 2: it cannot be proven that licensing was obtained, because licensing was not necessary. They all swim in that same sea, and it would not be feasible to pick apart the exceptions. | To clarify, the essence of a charity work here on the wiki is how it's most often ''used'': to legally distribute DWU content without obtaining a commercial license, most often from the BBC.

In this case, the main driving force is rule 4. For the series producer to definitively state she did not intend to release these as genuine DWU stories — and for them to be referred to as fan works — right away prevents us from covering these individually. No amount of debating can get the Fan Gallery in general up over that wall. The details of what details can go where, and what to do with the one story that does appear to have licensing, remain to be discussed by those with an interest. Does the [[Fan Gallery]] merit a page, or should it be a brief section in ''[[Doctor Who: Lockdown!]]''? One thing I can settle is that these pages will be deleted per [[T:NO FANFIC]]. | In this case, the main driving force is rule 4.

Whether there's wiggle room for one story that's licensed remains to be decided, as that is its own discussion. Thank you all for your involvement in this one.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 01:38, 25 November 2020 (UTC) | Whether there's wiggle room for one story that's licensed remains to be decided, as that is its own discussion.
