Doctor Who Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

The Doctor — The claim that the sonic screwdriver's ability to open locked doors has been a 'consistent tool throughout most of the series' contradicts established canon in the modern era (e.g., The Christmas Invasion), where it is explicitly stated and used as a plot poin

Amy Pond — Amy Pond did not return decades later as an elderly woman to save the universe; she and Rory lived out their lives in 1930s New York until death.

Amy Pond — River Song's first meeting with the Doctor occurred in 'Silence in the Library', not at the end of his life.

Ace — The entry incorrectly credits Ben Aaronovitch with writing 'Dragonfire' instead of Ian Briggs.

Ace — The entry lists the Big Finish range name as 'Companion Chroni' rather than the correct title 'The Companion Chronicles'.

Rory Williams — The entry incorrectly describes Rory's sacrifice in 'The Big Bang' as shattering a time loop; canonically, he waited in the TARDIS console room while the Doctor rebooted the universe and closed the cracks.

Torchwood Institute — Torchwood Two was based in Glasgow, not Edinburgh.

Sontarans — Cloning facilities are not canonically referred to as 'Battle Tents'; they are typically described as cloning vats or chambers in TV lore.

Sontarans — Sontarans use single names (e.g., Strax, Steg, Stor) that function as personal identifiers rather than being named primarily by batch number or military designation.

Founding of Gallifrey — The claim that televised canon depicts Time Lords reproducing naturally is factually incorrect; TV canon never explicitly depicts or confirms natural reproduction methods (it remains unaddressed), whereas expanded universe lore (*Lungbarrow*) specifies artific

Founding of Gallifrey — Reference to 'cloning' in relation to *Lungbarrow* is imprecise; the novel specifically describes Time Lords being 'loomed' from genetic material rather than standard cloning, though both represent artificial reproduction.

Time Lord Regeneration — Donna Noble absorbed Time Lord consciousness/knowledge which endangered her life; she was saved by memory wipe, not by absorbing regeneration energy.

Time Lord Regeneration — The substance Donna absorbed is Time Lord knowledge/consciousness rather than regeneration energy, despite the golden light visuals.
