Thanks. I know that is a general rule of thumb, but there are quite a few instances where Big Finish episodes considerably overrun 'the expected' 25 minutes/half hour format (or 'the expected' hour format in some cases). And the TV episodes occasionally over- and under-run the 'standard' 25 minutes/45 minutes format. As is often the case for me, if I have exactly half an hour to fit in an episode, I'd like to know if it's going to be 25 minutes (which would be fine) or 45 minutes (which would mean I'd be late for my next appointment!). Big Finish tends not to have the number of episodes listed on its 'Technical Details' tab, and just an approximate length, whereas here, the no. of episodes is listed, but without a specific length of time. Of course it's something which I could easily research (and indeed may end up contributing to if this gets the go-ahead) for each episode, but having an easily accessible source, in the form of this wiki, that defines it in advance, would be really helpful.
