From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

SOTO wrote: Both Erimem and Vince Cosmos began as DWU characters, and then afterwards went on to be the protagonists of their own series and stories. We don't cover The Simpsons simply because the Fourth Doctor has appeared several times. Instead, we consider that a cultural references to the Doctor Who universe.

The thing is, Magrs is having his characters travel between series. They're not references. Panda being in a Brenda and Effie book is more than just a reference here.
