Regardless of validity, I feel as if we have to take a real world position on this one. Scream of the Shalka is such a special case that we may have to treat it as lesser than the revived series, because, realistically, the end user is going to be confused by the proposed Shalka Doctor/War Doctor incarnation split on the Eighth Doctor's page. I understand the policy of this wiki but I feel as if the end user has been forgotten within this discussion.

Instead, I propose that Shalka remains invalid, as changing its status to an "alternate universe" wouldn't affect any in-universe articles in the slightest apart from moving certain BTS information to an "in an alternate universe" section located slightly above it. This is despite my belief that both Shalka and The Curse Of Fatal Death are alternate "what if" timelines within the DWU, as their respective Ninth Doctors are both quite plainly alluded to within The Tomorrow Windows and The Gallifrey Chronicles.

It's just quite simple to me really: making Shalka valid would create unnecessary confusion within some major pages on this wiki and is a betrayal of our common sense.
