<!-- Every ''Doctor Who'' story gives us a new picture of the Doctor's reality. Therefore, we could create [[The Doctor's reality (Story Name)]] for every story on the wiki which features the Doctor. But in most cases, there's no reason to doubt that story depicts the same reality as its predecessor, whether that's the previous [[Virgin New Adventures]] novel, [[The Monthly Adventures (audio series)|Monthly Adventures]] audio, or television episode. There are only a few notable exceptions preventing us from merging everything into a single [[The Doctor's reality]]. For instance, sometimes a story's predecessor simply isn't clear: is the first Virgin ''New Adventure'' novel, ''[[Timewyrm: Genesys (novel)|Timewyrm: Genesys]]'', best understood as a continuation of the prior TV episode, ''[[Survival (TV story)|]]'', or the prior novel(isation), ''[[The Curse of Fenric (novelisation)|]]''? The result would be a number of chunks for each series. or, in some cases, the series name that describes them: for instance, [[The Doctor's reality (The Eight Doctors)]] and [[Virgin reality]].

 

While acknowleding that most sources suggest these chunks all to be the same reality, covering them separately helps to highlight the ways in which they stand on their own. [[User:TheChampionOfTime|TheChampionOfTime]] and [[User:MrThermomanPreacher|MrThermomanPreacher]] have paved the way for this with the creation of pages like [[Virgin reality]] and [[The Doctor's reality (An Unearthly Child)]]. I've contributed to MrThermomanPreacher's collaborative chart of these "reality" pages, both created and relinked, along with the approximate stories and series they cover.
