With few exceptions, articles that are in one of these four categories should not go into another of them.

*Real world and in-universe categories don't mix.  Categories like '''[[:Category:Stories set in 1987|Stories set in 1987]]''' (an out-of-universe category) don't go into things like '''[[:Category:1980s]]''' (an in-universe category).  (But see '''[[T:FTRW|FTRW]]''' for more details of how to handle things that actually exist in the real world, but also exist in the DWU.)

*If something is "non-DWU material" it cannot logically be in an in-universe category. So [[Ninth Doctor (The Curse of Fatal Death)|Rowan Atkinson's Ninth Doctor]] cannot go into [[:Category:Incarnations of the Doctor]], because he's not playing ''the'' Doctor as that character is defined at the page '''[[the Doctor]]'''.  He's playing ''a parodic version'' of the Doctor who isn't a part of the DWU.  
*If something is "non-DWU material" it cannot logically be in an in-universe category: the whole point is that we're not acknwledging these works as believable sources on the DWU as we coverit! So [[Ninth Doctor (Scream of the Shalka)|Richard E. Grant's Ninth Doctor]] cannot go into [[:Category:Incarnations of the Doctor]], because he's not playing ''the'' Doctor as that character is defined at the page '''[[the Doctor]]'''.  He's portraying the same fictional character from a real-world perspective, but that source is not one we acknowledge as saying something about the fictional universe built outwards from ''[[An Unearthly Child (TV story)|An Unearthly Child]]''.
*Nothing in '''[[:Category:The Hub|The Hub]]''' should go into an in-universe category.  [[Forum:The Master]] shouldn't go into '''[[:Category:The Master]]''', [[Tardis:Doctors]] shouldn't go into '''[[:Category:The Doctor]]''', and so on.
