This is easily disproved by the fact that there are more audios than television stories. And there are more books now. (In fact Doctor Who has more books than any other book series based on a television show.) And don't even get us started counting the number of comic stories!

Doctor Who is a multi-media franchise. Excepting a minuscule number of controversial stories, we choose to celebrate it all. Something else to keep in mind: this wiki started in 2004. There was no NuWho at that time, and the classic series (aside from the TV movie) had been off the air for 15 years, but they were still churning out novels, short stories, comic stories and audio stories. It's easy to see why the early editors of this wiki chose to include stories from all media.
