What "counts" as an anniversary story is a huge can of worms, and the category would obviously create edit wars, with relatively little benefit for our troubles.

We have agreed, at Thread:146860, to create an article that covers some of this ground at 2013 specials. If you'd like to work on that OttselSpy25, that'd be very helpful!

While that does sound like something that I would love to work on with more time permitted (In recent time I have gained a life outside of the internet, sadly), it does not particularly help the problem I see here. That is, where can I go for an assortment of the anniversary stories of 2013 and beyond? That page would cover the specials for sure - but would miss the comics, the web games, and the books that were also released.

I do see your point on the title of the category, "anniversary" is a bit broad and could encompass multiple entities (Rise of the Cybermen [or the other one maybe] was released on the anniversary of The Tenth Planet, for instance). Perhaps "Stories celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who" or "Stories which celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first episode of Doctor Who''. Whether or not a story is an anniversary story would fall doesn't to simple discussion. One or two quotes from the creators would likely patch that up.

Perhaps we could make a "List of stories celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Doctor Who" page to help out there.
