Thank you again!

About whether the BBC could shut down the Wiki because of copyright issues: in my unprofessional opinion: theoretically, yes, maybe, but that's incredibly unlikely given that I don't know of any other wiki (even ones that are much less careful about image-size or videos or that kind of thing) being shut down for it.

And if it were, the issues would be that our bios "plagiarize" the works they're based on, or that we have no right to use the images we use. Covering externally-created "fanfiction" wouldn't matter much to them — by definition, in talking about/quoting from a fanfiction, we wouldn't be unrightfully quoting from something that belongs to them. If they had to sue anyone over a fanwork it would be its author(s), not a Wiki hypothetically giving background info about the fanwork.
