As I mentioned at Talk:Vincent and the Doctor's Gallery (webcast), the thing is that this Wiki calls any licensed out-of-universe-focused video product a "(documentary)", in terms of dabbing anyway. This may not accord with common usage, but it's what this Wiki goes with, much like our perhaps-questionable description of the Mr Men books as "(novel)"s. And it is in this sense that we call them "documentaries" in these conversations. (If you have an alternative terms you'd like us to use, be my guest!)
