Forums: Village pump → The RPG dilemma

I checked around and didn't find anything about the last news about the RPG, and how to proceed. As you know, CDev questions 2 said the RPG was not canon. Before WP becomes a complete mess with people removing, people tagging or people making new sections, I think we need a policy.

This is my take on it:

Small lines integrated into something bigger: references should be enough.
Small lines not integrated into something bigger: moved to trivia: "In the RPG blablabla, although it may not be canon".
Medium texts that can act as standalone: Moved to a "In the RPG" section with a RPG-section tag.
Articles that are 90% RPG: bring back the RPG tag in the first line of the article, so people know it's from the RPG without needing to check sources one by one.

Well, that's my suggestion. Waiting for general consensus before everyone starts to do what they want. Would be nice if this was linked as a sitenotice, so everyone is aware.--Lon-ami (talk) 11:08, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I already modified Template:RPG-section to clarify. --g0urra[T҂C] 11:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't think that's enough to handle the problem. I'd call for community discussion.--Lon-ami (talk) 12:04, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm well aware of that, but it's a start. --g0urra[T҂C] 12:07, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I think we need a smaller icon for certain situations(example denizens of deepholm that are only on the RPG)something like the icons on expansions.--Ashbear160 (talk) 12:15, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Should Appendix 3 be back to the mainspace? I thought we banished it, and that wouldn't change no matter the new stance.

As for that small information, I'd just leave it in a "trivia" section. Not worth tdo what you ask, considering it's not canon anymore.--Lon-ami (talk) 12:18, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

No, Appendix 3 should be forever banished from the mainspace.

As for the Deepholm denizens (and other areas) that are only in the RPG, they should be abolished overall from the lists. The last thing we need is even more icons. --g0urra[T҂C] 12:22, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Well, most of those don't have icons anyway. I'd move them to trivia in list form, something like: "In the RPG, these creatures were denizens of this realm: a, b, c and d, but it's not canon".

As for Appendix 3, I asked because I saw someone moving the information: Ettin.--Lon-ami (talk) 12:32, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

i don't know if you misunderstood me or not, but what i meant was adding a icon like the one in the Template:RPG-section but without the text to the list from those that were from the RPG--Ashbear160 (talk) 13:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to try the separate the rpg information from he official information in the elemental hierarchy article.--Ashbear160 (talk) 13:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
