Hi Nibs! Sorry for the late message and getting back to you on this so late. The admins and mods have been discussing about what to do in regards to the Oz books and their legitimacy on the Wikia.

There's definitely a distinction between fairytale adaptations present, and adaptations allowed on the Wikia. Something like the Nutcracker ballet, or William Tell's opera, is acceptable, but something such as Disney's Little Mermaid or Wicked or a musical theatre's Cinderella is not.

Literature is a weird area in itself, as well, and we want to make clear what content is acceptable. This means making the call: is this work sufficiently in the realm of fairytale and folklore? Does adaptations, spinoffs and extensions of it also fall into a similar realm, or are they too far removed from the tradition?

Our final say in regards to Oz is that the only Oz content allowed are: books considered canon (written by Baum himself, or the royal historians, or books that have been awarded canonical status). The official list of them can be found ! As always, making references to noncanonical books is fine, but the source material should always be canonical.
