so, the only change i have made here is adding Lynda Moss. the Ninth Doctor travelled with her in this story and recognised her as companion material, he invited her to travel with him but she was killed before she was able to. this counts as a single-story companion in my eyes.

the changes made here were to upgrade Sarah Jane Smith, Jackie Tyler and Jack Harkness to "multi-story" as they all acted as his companions over multiple stories both on television and in other mediums. i also added Christina de Souza and Wilfred Mott to "multi-adventure" as they both had multiple adventures with the Doctor through various mediums (while only having a single adventure on-screen). the Doctor also considered Wilfred as his companion as he appeared in a flashback of a number of his companions in Big Bang Generation.

for "single-adventure" i have only included characters that were offered a place aboard the TARDIS regardless if they declined or were otherwise unable; Madame de Pompador, Joan Redfern, Astrid Peth and Jenny. and finally, in the ambiguous section i have included characters who acted as a companion for a certain story (and / or were promoted by the BBC as companions) but were never acknowledged as being companions by the Tenth Doctor.

here i removed Brian Williams from the "multi-story" category, as he only travelled with the Doctor in one episode (his appearance in The Power of Three is no more than say Sylvia Noble's appearances in S4). i also added Vastra, Jenny and Strax for obvious reasons, i am unsure why they werent already on the list.

Dorium and the alternate Amy were added to the multi-adventure section as they all had multiple adventures with the Doctor. then Rita was added to the "single-adventure" section as she was invited aboard, but died before she could. Canton Everett Delaware III was moved to narritively ambiguous as there was never any acknowledgement of him being a companion by the Doctor, he is joined by; Madge,Lily and Cyril Arwell, Tasha Lem and Barnable as they all acted as the Doctor's companion for their episodes but there was never an acknowledgement of their companion status.

the first two categories remain similar to how they were, but Rigsy and Bors were moved to ambiguous as there was never acknowledgement of their companion status. and Perkins was added to "single-adventure" due to his invitation to travel. Petronella Osgood was added to "multi-adventures" due to her travels with the Doctor in various mediums as well as her invitation to travel with him.

Vastra, Jenny Flint, Strax, Danny Pink, Psi, Saibra, Ashildr, Grant and Lucy Fletcher have all been added to ambiguous. with the exception of Ashildr, all of these characters are already in the companion category but just not on the template yet.
