Forum:Changing novelisation prefix and a question as to novelisation canonicity

good prefix for novelisations
can anyone suggest a good one? DWN wouldn't work, because we also have a novelisation of the "A Girl's Best Friend". --***Stardizzy*** 12:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

canonical or apocryphal or what?
IMO I would regard them as apocryphal. truthful up until a point, until they contradict the television stories or, yes, even the novels. (famously, Doctor Who and the Doomsday Weapon, the novelisation of Colony in Space and Doctor Who in An Exciting Adventure with the Daleks, based on the first Dalek story, have the Doctor meeting his companions in those books for the "first" time. later novelisations contradict them.)

we can try to incorporate both versions of the facts, however, when it comes to direct contradictions, the television series must win, with the novels, comics or audios giving corroborating evidence pro or con.--***Stardizzy*** 12:49, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
