Always been the big question, as long back as the First Era of Narutopedia.

Basically if we become a "Databook" Wiki, as I see it, then just about everything not in said databook is considered secondary material and thus can be ignored if we wanted. Which means anything that the databook ignores but we can see plain as friggin day, would get little to no mention because hey if it wasn't important enough to be in the databook then #*#& it.

Another issue becomes well, only a very few people have constant access to databooks and their content in any readable way. Back in the First Era, when ShounenSuki was our only translator and we flirted with the idea of being the "online databook" just about ever decision made for everything had to be run through him first because he was the only one who could read a databook.

The point of the wiki is to allow anyone to come in and if their edit has merit, make an edit. If the community wants to have an article on something and as long as they have sources and enough information to fill the page, then they should be able to make said page. At least for my understanding of how a fan made wiki was supposed to work.
