But, as far as I remember, he already has a separate Wiki, created by Fwhiffahder. That is the rightful place for his works, that's where they can shine. I, of course, will never step foot there, thanks to the welcoming message from its creator. Huh? Have you visited the "Paul Magrs Wiki" recently? I agree that wiki pages about the Enemy can be quite off-putting! Fwhiffahder specifically stated that the Timeship Wiki was useless for one reason: Paul Magr's works are literally inextricable from Doctor Who.

Apparently, Michael Moorcock at some point opined that the Doctor is just another incarnation of the Eternal Champion. Moorcock also ever only wrote one big series about a huge multiverse with many explicit links. So if only Moorcock wrote a DW story, bam, authorial intent and all that! Oh, wait. *Stops in horror* The Terraphiles are coming. Quick, take cover before we are swamped by pages for Elric, and Korum, and Hawkmoon, and all the thousands (and I mean literally thousands) of Moorcock's characters, and comic book variants, and reprints. And yknow what, I would completely agree, if these situations were anywhere near comparable. Moorcock's universe crosses over once, with one clear point of contact (in Terraphiles). In contrast, Magr's ... I can't even make a list of crossovers between the Obverse and the Doctor Who universe. Keep in mind that we already cover a ton of Obverse material (rightfully so, since it's just as much a part of the Whonisphere as E-Space). How about I contact Magrs via Facebook or other social media, and get a good quote to settle this once and for all?

he was very clever in exploiting our four little rules ... exploitation ... the Invasion from Magrs ... Lol, this is a really weird accusation of malicious intent. You realize that wiki editors are probably at the bottom of a list of writers' concerns?
