You're quite free to disagree with a version of R4 that doesn't exist, but I'm not sure how this is helpful. For instance, I'm doing this off of memory, because, well, it was in the old forums, and I wasn't there for the thread in question, I just saw it ages later. There was a discussion about whether or not [[The Periodic Adventures of Señor 105]] should be covered as valid on this wiki. They're a spinoff of Iris Wildthyme from a DWU publisher, by normal standards they would be. But the author showed up in the thread and stated that he didn't really consider the series to have anything to do with the DWU, it was its own thing. So they're invalid. See also [[Vienna (series)|Vienna]] for when a comment like this was misinterpreted. The wiki has always cared about the DWU as a '''literary universe.''' It fundamentally doesn't make sense to suggest that because there's a Doctor present then instantly the story is part of that same literary universe. Nor does it make sense to suggest that we should care about other literary universes that might be "DWLUs" in the simple sense that there's a Doctor in them at all, regardless of that character having any sort of prominence. Lines have to be drawn ''somewhere''. This is where the wiki has chosen to draw them. There's nothing deeper to it than that.
