I just want to quickly note that pages like The Doctor's species have a clear effect on this discussion. The acceptance of stories which say -- flat out -- that the Doctor is a human means that we now have no real reason to reject the Peter Cushing stories. If we accept Doctor Who in an Exciting Adventure with the Daleks as a valid take on the story which simply has adaptation quirks, then we should do the same for Doctor Who and the Daleks. The sandbox presented in this debate, not speculating on canon or realities, is the cleanest way to do this.

It's no longer became a topic of "should we change the rules," the rules have changed, the site has evolved, and what we have here is a quirk that should be rectified. Doing this would have no overall effect on the wiki what-so-ever, and would be able to pass without controversy. It's just a matter of changing categories and hitting publish.
