* '''Every franchise that appears in ''[[Funko Pop! Blitz (video game)|Funko Pop! Blitz]]'''''. A couple of months back, somebody went to that sizeable list of represented franchises at the bottom of the page there, and turned each one into an inactive link, with the clear intention for franchise pages to be created. …I went in and removed the links. The thing is, I'm not entirely sure if it counts as a crossover, when the full extent of their connection to ''Doctor Who'' is "characters from this franchise and ''Doctor Who'' sometimes appear on the game board at the same time" | * '''Every franchise that appears in ''[[Funko Pop!

* '''''[[Shrek (series)|Shrek]]'''''. This one actually already has a page, as you can see, I'm not 100% sure if it actually qualifies due to a unique grey area that's presented: ''Shrek'' was involved in BBC One's 2012 Christmas campaign, ''[[It's Showtime (TV story)|It's Showtime]]''. Now, in terms of the campaign as a whole, Shrek himself does appear in one of the idents, suggesting a licensing agreement that makes this an official usage. But when it comes to the promo, the thing that we actually cover due it its usage of DW elements, Shrek's appearance is only ''implied''; he's presented as apparently being inside a trailer at the BBC studio, where he shoots a large blob of green snot from offscreen. Would you say that counts as an "appearance"? | * '''''[[Shrek (series)|Shrek]]'''''.
