Your practical solution would be to say that the things that currently fly the banner should simply be deleted, if our decision is not to cover them? But if the pages actually exist, then they should have exactly the same format and sections of any other article?

Am I right in thinking that the only format difference, to you, between a and  story article are these two templates?

Well, it depends on the story.

Sympathy of the Devil is not cannon because it is a "what-if story". We don't cover it because the BBC tells us not to in the series title. This story is just a normal audio story, but it "isn't of our own canon". This story has sequels and a crossover into the main series in the 100 Days of the Doctor, and has connections to stories pre-Second Doctor wise, so it has continuity

''Do You have a Licence to..." Is a parody work and an unliscened, as well as featuring Cyberons, so it's diffrent. The references in this story are in no way continuity, they're references. The Cyberons are parodies of the Cybermen, but the two aren't connected.

Dimensions in Time is basically just not covered because it's rare and no one likes it. It has charactors appearing from past stories and references to other stories, and this can also go in the "references" section. There should be no reason that I can't say "The Rani appears for the first and last time on screen sense "Time and the Rani"."

It depens on the story and why we don't cover it. But yes, I like to think that nondwu stories can have the same info as in any other story pages and just have notations on our non-coverage or it's "non-cannon-ness". I see no reason why not.

I'm sure here comes the point where you tell me why I'm wrong?
