TARDIS Wiki (in-universe)

The TARDIS Wiki, (PROSE: ) also known as the Data Core to the Bookkeepers of the Library, (PROSE: ) and stylised as Tardis | Fandom on Petronella Osgood's tab on Chrome, (WC: ) was a Wiki which was "famous" for its thorough coverage of subjects; others, alternately, deemed the Wiki to be "infamous" and that it took itself "too seriously". (PROSE: )
Lady Peinforte, on one occasion, described the Wiki as a "place of secrets", subsequently cribbing from it to learn of the Doctor's secrets. (PROSE: )
The Wiki used disambiguation terms, alternately known as "dab terms" in their lingo. (PROSE: )
== History ==
After Lady Peinforte and Richard Maynarde travelled forwards in time to Windsor in 1988, she accessed, through unknown means, the TARDIS Wiki, where she learned of the question "Doctor who?" and how his name was "a promise he made to himself to not be cruel or cowardly". She claimed to know of his secrets; that of the Looms, though she deemed those non-canonical; the the Doctor being half-human on his mother's side, which she claimed was "much disregarded"; the Doctor's barn, his departure from Gallifrey in fear of the Hybrid, and Gallifey of the old time. (PROSE: )
The human Osgood had the website open in another Chrome tab while settling down to watch Doctor Who on iPlayer with her Zygon counterpart. It bore the heading of "Fandom". Its logo resembled the police box exterior of its timeship namesake. (WC: )
In the M.F.S. Scottish Division building in the 925th Universe, Tetra-None Hepta-Oct used Doctor Know's computer to research the Snowstorm, the Library, and Coloth's friends, and began printing out the results. She hit a feedback loop in the computer when it attempted to pull results from the Data Core about The Book of the Snowstorm; due to their thorough coverage of anything that warranted coverage and usage of disambiguation terms, as well as "in-universe" versions of the book existing within other "in-universe" versions of the book, the dab terms accumulated upon themselves. Apart from The Book of the Snowstorm (anthology) and The Book of the Snowstorm (disambiguation), the Wiki covered The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe), The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe), The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe), The Book of the Snowstorm (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe) (in-universe), and so on, for infinity. The printer printed out an entire stack of pages containing just results from the feedback loop, with later pages being completely consumed with dab terms. (PROSE: )
== Behind the scenes ==
* It has become a running joke in Doctor Who related media to depict in-universe versions of this very wiki existing within the Doctor Who universe.
** The short story took the joke further, showing that, due to the Wiki existing in countless universes, both the numerous in-universe Wikis and this real Wiki have become recursive due to the respective Wikis covering The Book of the Snowstorm anthology, all containing in-universe versions of the Wiki. From our perspective, this Wiki is the sixth Wiki to cover the in-universe Wiki pages about The Book of the Snowstorm.
* In the short story , the titular Lady Peinforte claims that several concepts covered by the in-universe Wiki, such as Looms, and by extension, anything else in Lungbarrow, are non-canonical. The real Wiki, however, has a neutral set of rules about both coverage and "validity", havin asserted since 2012 that there is no canon.
** In the real world, Lungbarrow is actually considered a valid source, and, in keeping with T:NPOV, is considered equally alongside "other accounts" for the Doctor's early life and Time Lord history generally.
