Specials
Anyone who counts the specials as the series before the one they aired in is, to be frank, idiotic. Yes, one BBC site says that The Christmas Invasion is series 1 and so on; but, uh, they were filmed with the series after and they were aired with the series after and they're on the DVD set for the series after when the BBC website says they are. In the US and other nations they air in syndication as the premier of series 2, series 3, and series 4 respectively. We have ONE source versus SEVERAL that are all equally official. It makes a hell of a lot more sense to go with the latter and TARDIS wiki should reflect that.

What is a companion?
In my view, a companion needs to travel with the Doctor in at least two stories or assist him regularly in a time when he doesn't have a TARDIS (so basically, just Three). Sara Kingdom counts due to the unusual length of said story (heck, you can fit in other ones into the middle of it); the UNIT people count only for Three; but I don't count Grace, Astrid, Jackson Lake, Rosita, or Lady Christina. Ten's companions are Rose, Mickey, Martha, Jack (for the last three episodes of series 3-it was one story, but I still count it because RTD considers it to be two-though he's wrong as usual), and Donna.
