I don't. Website errors are common for Big Finish. A semi-regular feature of The Big Finish Podcast is website errata of one kind or another.

And the website does not say it's a Doctor Who spin-off. It says it's a spin off o The Shadow Heart. At no point have BF ever said anywhere that it's just a straight up spin-off of DW, and indeed they've now said, again, four times that it's not a DW spin-off.

For comparison, you used to be able to see FP described as a spin-off of the Doctor Who novels by Larry Miles. And we don't have FP here.

But anyway the point is that we all agree that there is doubt, introduced by the key creatives, as to whether Vienna is in the DWU. Everyone in this discussion agrees to that. Consensus is actually to throw Vienna out, because everyone says that one reading of the statements given is that Vienna is not a spin-off of DW. We disagree only about the level of ambiguity of that statement, not about whether that is a plausible reading.
