:It may behoove us to mention ''why'' this sort of thing is frowned upon; we have [[Tardis:Canon policy]] which is quite clear about what is and isn't canon on this wiki, and there's a very good reason for that. | :It may behoove us to mention ''why'' this sort of thing is frowned upon; we have [[Tardis:Canon policy]] which is quite clear about what is and isn't canon on this wiki, and there's a very good reason for that. | ||
:''Doctor Who'' canon is of course a fluid issue which varies in the mind of the individual, and people are free to accept or reject things differently to how this wiki does, but for the purposes of creating a cohesive reference work on this wiki we have to have a very clear distinction between what is or isn't covered by it. In terms of stories covered by the TARDIS Index File, there is no such thing as "possibly non-canon;" as spelled out by our Canon Policy a story is either canon or it is not, and covered by or excluded from this wiki accordingly. — [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] - '''[[User talk:Rob T Firefly|Δ]][[Special:Contributions/Rob T Firefly|∇]]''' - 07:53, October 14, 2011 (UTC) | :''Doctor Who'' canon is of course a fluid issue which varies in the mind of the individual, and people are free to accept or reject things differently to how this wiki does, but for the purposes of creating a cohesive reference work on this wiki we have to have a very clear distinction between what is or isn't covered by it.

Allowing any sort of grey area between this wiki's implementations of canon and non-canon would greatly complicate that. — [[User:Rob T Firefly|Rob T Firefly]] - '''[[User talk:Rob T Firefly|Δ]][[Special:Contributions/Rob T Firefly|∇]]''' - 07:53, October 14, 2011 (UTC) | ||
