: While it may be licensed, the idea that the TARDIS is a portaloo makes me feel as if this isn't meant to be taken seriously (though I haven't watched the film so I'm not sure about this for certain). Reminds me a lot of ''Ted 2'' technically having a licensed appearance of a Dalek in it, though ''that'' will be an interesting one to cover as a. the Dalek is only a guy in a Dalek costume at comic con, b. it is clearly not meant to be set in the DWU, and c. we'd be covering an entire film, which is also a sequel to another film, both of which have virtually no connection to ''Who''; in that situation, I feel giving it a merchandise page may be more appropiate than a source page. {{User:Epsilon the Eternal/signature}} 16:34, 23 June 2023 (UTC) | : While it may be licensed, the idea that the TARDIS is a portaloo makes me feel as if this isn't meant to be taken seriously (though I haven't watched the film so I'm not sure about this for certain).

::I meant a RW overview page, and the Sonic Screwdriver also makes a brief appearance. Also, one more thing I forgot to say, it's written by [[Bob Baker]], so there's also crew connections. (and to say it's a sequel to another film is a bit of an understatement. In reality, it's a sequel to another film that's a continuation of a television series that also happens to be a spin off of Wallace and Gromit).

::: I mean, if it's a story where the elements are real, and it's licensed, I'd personally argue for coverage, even if invalid. [[User:Cookieboy 2005|Cookieboy 2005]] [[User talk:Cookieboy 2005|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 22:16, 12 September 2023 (UTC) | |||
:::: I'm not entirely sure that they are real (in universe). The sonic screwdriver definitely is, but the Doctor in the Tardis could just be someone who looks like Tom Baker/is cosplaying as the Fourth Doctor, however, the portaloo-Tardis is seen flying through the end-credits, so I think it's meant to be ambiguous. It's really hard to tell, and the elements are minor enough that it'd probably be [[Talk:The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (series)]] precedent and without a clear statement of authorial intent (which we won't get now Bob Baker's dead), we probably won't be able to convince other people.
