:As far as stuff in DWM, it's a debatable area, but if it has relevent information put it in the article (in an in-universe context, or at the base of the article in the 'Behind the Scenes' section). Referencing wise it would be ([[DWM]]: ''[[DWM Issue 289]]'') and if you wanted put a comma and then the name of the article.

:As far as Missing Pieces and any other charity, specially produced or stuff like that, it's less than black and white area, but as I said before put it in, we don't currently have a prefix for charity/specially produced prose, so either come up with one (and be sure to put it in the [[Tardis:List of prefixes]] list, or just leave it out and put the title as you would in brackets ie (''[[Iris Explains]]'') or alternatively you could just put Missing Pieces in the brackets if you want to be more general, though eventually the aim is to have a page for every short story and every book. So while they don't exist now it will probably some point in the future. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 16:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

On citing DWM stuff, the nomenclature of article titles for issues numbers has now changed to [[DWM 23]].  Thus, referencing is a little easier than what it was.  Now, you'd just do <nowiki>([[DWM 23|DWM #23]])</nowiki> and be done with it.

As far as charity publications, they're simply not valid resources for in-universe articles.  For out-of-universe articles, there is now the prefix [[CP]].  So if you wanted to list an author's work you'd be able to get away with,
