There was a bit of discussion about this on the [[Talk:TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual|talk page]] a while back, but I wanted to bring it here and settle it. Should ''[[TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual]]'' be a valid source? | There was a bit of discussion about this on the [[Talk:TARDIS Type 40 Instruction Manual|talk page]] a while back, but I wanted to bring it here and settle it.

The various aspects of the TARDIS are described in an order and manner such that it creates a coherent narrative for the reader to understand. Furthermore, specific episodes are referenced and told as mini-stories to demonstrate these aspects. As an example for all of this, it does not just say "the [[chameleon circuit]] is what makes the TARDIS change form. Handle with care" as would be expected in a typical instruction manual. It explains what the chameleon circuit is, what it does, how it works, how it was created, and provides a "case study" for it— this being "The Cryon Incident", a description of the events of ''[[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack of the Cybermen]]''. | The various aspects of the TARDIS are described in an order and manner such that it creates a coherent narrative for the reader to understand.

So while this isn't a full on novel, it isn't just an instruction manual. As I said, it's akin to a textbook, so it has a narrative. (Not to mention it has a wealth of information that would help this wiki as an encyclopedia...) So it passes Rule 1. It passes rules 2 and 3 without doubt, and it's set in-universe so it passes rule 4. So that's why I think this book should be valid. | So while this isn't a full on novel, it isn't just an instruction manual. As I said, it's akin to a textbook, so it has a narrative.
