Did you read Tardis:Canon policy? The paragraph entitled "Doctor Who and canon" specifically states the actual policy of the BBC, not the wiki's opinion. That's why we constantly state "There is no canon", because the BBC has not declared a canon.

The latter is why I use my "best wishes" after messages, so no niceties will come across as nastiness. So basically we admins can't win. We write to educate new editors, we tick off the older ones. We cater to the older editors, we alienate the new ones.

But it is past time to get this discussion back on track. If you have an issue with canon, bring it up at Tardis:Canon policy. If you have an issue with our valid sources policy, bring it up at Tardis:Valid sources.
