Should pages such as this and other [[List of unproduced stories|unproduced stories]] that have articles be given the invalid sources template? I think they should as they break rule 3 of [[T:VS]]. This is noted at the top of their pages but in my opinion it should be made more obvious.

::No. An {{tl|unprod}} story has completely different implication from an {{tl|invalid}} one. An {{tl|invalid}} source is, well, an [[Tardis:Valid source|"invalid ''source''"]]: it can be used as a ''source'' for in-universe pages also bearing the {{tl|invalid}} tag. For example, [[Doctor Who (Doctor Who and Crayola)|the "Crayola" Doctor]]. | |||
::In contrast, unproduced stories are ''not covered'' outside of their single overview pages. Characters or locations exclusive to unproduced stories ''do not get pages'', albeit ones tagged as {{tl|invalid}}. For example, ''[[The Last Regeneration (comic story)|The Last Regeneration]]''{{'}}s Doctor doesn't get a page of his own. | |||
::And honestly, I don't think the current situation is confusing. The "Unproduced" header is, if anything, ''more'' conspicuous than the garden-variety "Invalid" tag. It's big and red and loudly proclaims that the contents of the page "are not a part of the Doctor Who universe as we, on this Wiki, choose to define it".
