This may be a complicated thing to ask, but what exactly is the 'Canon' of Doctor Who ? Does it have one, how does it work, is it specifically only stuff published by certain companies, or other things ? I've heard contradictory things about it when looking it up so I figured I'd ask.
 
There apparently isn't a firm canon, but the TV show does take precedence.
Ah. Do you have an official source to prove such ? I mean I trust you since you clearly have been studying the Whoniverse for a good minute, but it's for documentation purposes as well as the fact of being able to put it on the verse page annd other such.
 
If you mean from the BBC itself, I don't believe they've said much outside of promotional material, like the video games being canon.

As for the precedence stuff, I wrote a bit about that here in the past. But it's outdated, and I can't find the document where I made the updated version on my computer.

Usually if there is an inconsistency it is studied in depth due to the nature of time travel.

But the show has referenced the novels and comics, Abslom The Dalek killer appears in that episode where Capaldi and others rob a space bank as a hologram referencing his comics (literally ripped from a comic scan)
The name of nightmare child first mentioned in the comics and was later reintroduced in the end of times
