I again protest against the characterisation (in @Danochy's message) of How The Monk Got His Habit not being "explicitly part of Lockdown!". The hashtag is right there. We can debate all night whether that makes it a part of the official line-up of "Lockdown!" content, but it is at the very least unofficial "Lockdown!" content from an official creator.

At any rate, I agree that the extent of the use of Staying in the TARDIS is that it gives us something definite to call the list of BBC Lockdown!-but-not-quite stories. As we discussed, separate lists have always been an option, but we did need a way to foreground that even if there were two distinct "brands", and fiddly things caught in the middle, those were very much closely interconnected events, not two random unrelated ranges that happened to come out at the same time. Until such a time as there was a good way to have a twin list of the non-Lockdown! but Lockdown!-era stories, this was difficult, because there was no obvious place to make a list of just the non-Lockdown!-branded stories. This gives us that opportunity.

In other words, I wholeheartedly approve of a Staying in the TARDIS page (indeed, I think having one to some capacity is sheer common sense, whatever else we decided), so long as it and Lockdown! prominently mention each other in the leads. We could mention the other BBC releases on Staying in the TARDIS without putting them in that page's main list (so United we stand, 2m apart and Message from the Doctor?). We can similarly similarly figure out some way to mention Incoming Message, plus possibly Dalek alternative script extract and How The Monk Got His Habit if we can't agree on putting those two in the actual list, somewhere on the Lockdown! page within its text, without their being part of any numbered lists.

And I think that sorts us out, not counting the Castellan story — which it is now officially recognised is going to be deleted once the information has been ported over to the relevant BTS sections — and Breaking Isolation. Go us!

I don't think that despite happening to have been on the main Doctor Who YouTube Channel, Farewell, Sarah Jane needs to be put elsewhere than in the list of Lockdown! stories. Strax Saves the Day was also released outside the Lockdown! YouTube channel (because it didn't exist yet), what's the problem?
