Wikitroid:Requests for Comment/Implementation of non-canon templates

Implementation of non-canon templates
Wikitroid has been known for its various problems. Some of the ones that remain existent include unmarked non-canonical information (that often has Template:Reallife on them, looking at you, HK).

This is why I have created this RfC, to question whether or not we should implement templates for these purposes. For example:

"Noncanon" template

[insert noncanon info here]

"Endnoncanon" template

The templates would add the page to a category for "Articles with non-canonical information". My intention for the non-canon templates part is that it be implemented as an extension of the C&C policy.


 * Question: Should Wikitroid implement templates and categories to indicate articles with non-canonical information?
 * Possible Postitions: Agree (if you would like these templates to be implemented), Neutral (if you are not sure), or Disagree (if you disagree that these templates should be implemented).
 * Default (no consensus): The templates/categories' status as a necessity is unmodified.

I will clarify any points that people ask me to. -- R o y b o y X (talk) 01:41, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Agree - As nominator. -- R o y b o y X (talk) 01:41, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree Seems useful. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 02:18, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree Very useful. Surprised we didn't already have this. It'd be nice to mark off sections and whatnot that need it.  The Ex  terminator  {ADMIN} (talk • e-mail • contribs) 18:30, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Agree Non-canon template seems useful to me. -- Hounder4  {ROLLBACK} (Talk)  (Changes)  (Blogs) 20:07, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Spoiler templates discussion

 * Agree - As nominator. -- R o y b o y X (talk) 01:41, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Disagree You can't hide spoilers. No matter how hard you try. You can get spoiled by anything. You can get spoiled by infoboxes and navigation boxes (thanks a lot navigation box for MOM bosses for spoiling Phantoon and Metroid Queen). You can get spoiled by accidentally scrolling down the page too far. It wouldn't work. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 01:46, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Spoiler templates would only be for plot sections and boss sections. Have you tried looking at other places where it is used, such as Wikipedia? -- R o y b o y X (talk) 01:49, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * But then there would still be SOME unmarked spoilers. As I mentioned, the navigation boxes and infoboxes would be unmarked. Meaning that we are only marking SOME OF THE spoilers. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 02:01, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * The infoboxes are very minor, plus some people's anti-spoiler alerts might kick in and they'll get out of there. -- R o y b o y X (talk) 02:07, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Infoboxes are at the top. Also, if the page is small enough, the nav boxes could still be seen. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 02:11, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Can you show me a specific case? -- R o y b o y X (talk) 02:13, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not anymore, since all the pages have been beefed up a bit in size, but when a page is first created (especially for a recently released game), it could be small enough that the navboxes could easily be seen. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 02:17, February 17, 2012 (UTC)

(UNDENT) As we all know the hype dies down eventually. Plus any problems with the wiki are fixed as fast as Samus kills a Mimic. -- R o y b o y X (talk) 02:23, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Um... when the game is just released is when it matters the most. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 02:26, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Right now it isn't much of an issue, and when it is we will deal with it. -- R o y b o y X (talk) 02:30, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright, this is going nowhere. Should we just close the spoilers part as unsuccessful? -- R o y b o y X (talk) 01:02, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
