User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-4028641-20151008222758/@comment-1432718-20161105015306 We do have a sign that denotes an invalid appearance - it's the prefix NOTVALID that appears at the beginning of nonvalid story citations.

The issue that everyone seems to have missed is that, because we have a strict policy regarding what can and can't go on Tardis:In-universe perspective, it's just easier maintenance to keep the nonvalids out of the infoboxes.

Sometimes the rules on this wiki are just for easier maintenance and cleaning up. We have dozens of editors who contribute new material to the wiki, but only a tiny handful (including admins) that regularly clean up the mistakes. Some of our rules are in place partially to minimize mistakes in the first place.
