From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

I realize that's how this is currently handled. My concern is just that it leads to the utterly absurd interpretation I've pointed out above. Where the icon labeled "DWM" doesn't necessarily redirect to Doctor Who Magazine (The Thief of Sherwood) (which might need to be renamed depending on how this thread goes) because we can only make out "Doctor Who" despite it obviously being an old Doctor Who Magazine logo and it obviously being a reference to Doctor Who Magazine. So strictly speaking there should be a new page for Doctor Who M (The Zygon Isolation) or something.

Given the nature of Doctor Who (N-Space), and how its entire purpose is to be a cheeky self referential nod, I don't think it's inappropriate to assume the bare minimum of similarities between production between our show and the N-space equivalent to talk coherently about the N-space entities related to production of the show when they come up. Doing more, and saying "Well, Big Finish (N-Space) was founded on so and so date", yeah, I'd be against that. But to just say what it's supposed to be, which is the entire point of the joke, as it were, I don't see how that can be inappropriate (from an ideal ruleset, I mean).
