Exactly.

Creating a quick reference sheet that didn't exist doesn't affect
copyright,
but it might infringe on a trademark. So legally they could ask you to
take
it down.

The problem is that the reference sheet is added material for the game,
which in turn makes the game *more *attractive to potential purchasers
("Look at all the cool fan material!")

They are within their legal right to pull this stuff. That doesn't make
the
decision stupid and small minded, which it is.
