User talk:TheUltimate3/Canon

Relevancy
Given how relevant the canonicity of information is to how the wiki displays it, I suggest that you somehow incorporate how said information is displayed, for example through sentences that begin with In the anime, points in the trivia section and so on. • Seelentau 愛 議 13:11, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

 * As long as we don't do sh!t like splitting up articles due to contradictions between various media and from unofficial fan interpretations of what is "canon", I think this should be fine. But yes, I do agree with Seelentau that differences between media must be clearly pointed out, not mixed together, else that causes confusion. Pointing out such differences could be as blatant as what the Star Wars Wiki does here (not really advocating it, just a suggestion), or subtle with things like trivia points and introductory phrases like "In the anime/novel/etc" (which I think works very fine already). 20:24, May 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * Not the plan. I have absolutely no desire to split articles down the middle. Because that is stupid. And yes, pointing out differences in media should be pointed out. I'm not 100% sure what you mean about "mixing" though.--TheUltimate3 Akimichi Symbol.svg (talk) 20:29, May 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * "Not the plan. I have absolutely no desire to split articles down the middle. Because that is stupid."
 * Glad to see we agree.
 * "And yes, pointing out differences in media should be pointed out. I'm not 100% sure what you mean about 'mixing' though."
 * By "mixing", I meant situations like this. Basically, we just have to make sure that things added from sources other than the author (such as backgrounds for characters that come from the anime, novels, etc) are pointed out very clearly within the articles and this new canon policy you are creating. We wouldn't want readers coming here mixing up what happened exclusively in the anime with what happened in the manga and such. 20:38, May 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * As far as I understood it, this policy was only being made to reiterate the whole "In the anime/movie/novel" that we've been doing for years and is simply to get people to stop using the word "canon" / "non-canon" in discussions. Because really, the amount of canon arguments is out of control and is fuelling very abusive attitudes towards members who don't follow the so-called "canon" rules of those who keep banging on about it. --Sajuuk 20:48, May 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * We can't stop users from using words such as "canon" and "non-canon" in discussions no matter what we do. But yes, the arguments are rather annoying, I concur with that. 20:51, May 24, 2016 (UTC)
