From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

No I don't think that. I know that in AUC and its novelisation there is nothing called the Tribe of Gum. Our page is currently wrong because it gives the source of AUC for a thing called "Tribe of Gum".

You've put information at Hunters under the continuity section and that's wrong. Continuity is about the in-universe relationship between two or more stories. At the present time, as of the cliffhanger in Hunters, the comic story is establishing a thing called "Tribe of Gum" which has never been mentioned before, in any story.

It is not continuity — again, it is meta-textual reference, which trades upon fan knowledge that the working title of AUC was The Tribe of Gum — but one that was ultimately rejected, according to The First Doctor Handbook because there was no "Tribe of Gum" in the finished story.
