I've actually been thinking about these lately. Couldn't these stories be considered in-universe after all? All of them from the third one on provide their in-universe "source" in the form of a diary entry, work of history, newspaper story and even a Dalek transmission. The text accompanying the visuals is a clear effort at a short story, often with a fictionalised author who has witnessed or studied the described events. I'd argue it's similar to, say, The Turing Test, which has its narrative framed as three people recording their own testimony on tape.

Instead of being referenced in articles as they originally were, as in (DWBIT - Dalek Wars #5) for example, could they not be given their own articles in the form of - just to pluck a few examples - Invasion Earth: 2164 (short story), Pirates from the Sky! (short story) and The Sagarro Desert Storm (short story), and have their information included much more smoothly in articles like so: (PROSE: Floating Fortress)?
