'''<-- return to main canon policy discussion

What this wiki allows as valid resources for "in-universe" articles
The following list is merely a different, simplified way of looking at out canon policy. Whereas out canon policy generally speaks in terms of things that we don't consider canon, this list examines those things that are considered canon. Because this is the reduction of policy to list form, no explanations are given here as to why certain items are on the list. For that detail, please return to the main policy page.

 * 29) . . . and anything else which might be published with the consent of Lawrence Miles, unless it directly uses elements copyrighted by the BBC, and is published without the BBC's permission.
 * 30) Selected parts of the BBV Productions/Reeltime Pictures back-catalogue, strictly limited to that which had the assent of the character copyright holders. Thus the following are allowed:
 * 31) P.R.O.B.E.
 * 32) The Zero Imperative
 * 33) The Devil of Winterborne
 * 34) Unnatural Selection
 * 35) Ghosts of Winterborne
 * 36) Guy de Carnac, a character who appeared in Sanctuary, a BBC-licensed product
 * 37) The Quality of Mercy
 * 38) The "Auton Trilogy"
 * 39) Auton
 * 40) Auton 2: Sentinel
 * 41) Auton 3: Awakening
 * 42) Rutans
 * 43) In 2 Minds
 * 44) The Shakedown duology
 * 45) Shakedown
 * 46) Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans
 * 47) The Krynoid duology
 * 48) Krynoids: The Root of All Evil

 * 52) The Rani
 * 53) The Rani Reaps the Whirlwind
 * 54) Wirrn
 * 55) Wirrn: Race Memory
 * 56) Adventures in a Pocket Universe - these are complicated to assess, because the producers had the assent of the K9 copyright holders, but not the BBC, who own Romana. Thus, although Lalla Ward was the co-star of the series, she cannot be judged to be playing Romana II.  She is herein referred to only as "The Mistress".  The K9 herein is not K9 Mark II, who went with Romana II into E-Space, but another model of K9 altogether. Therefore, we allow coverage of these stories, but in a careful way that never refers back to either the characters of K9 Mark II or Romana II.
