Deletion of non-canon sections

Snail deleted the non-canon section without discussing it first. "I don't like it" is not a valid reason to delete stuff.

Legitimate action or not, I don't think it's the case of deleting someone else's work without discussing the action. I'll re-add the non-canon section should this comment have no replies in the near future. --- Mobius

  • Well, we have non-canon info embedded into the Lucifer's article. I suggest using that template to differentiate canon from non-canon. - TopAce 18:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Hmmm... IMHO it seems like one fairly good solution might be to make non-canon subpages. Like Stealth (non-canon)... And then making sure these new pages are linked to and from the 'parent' page. - Wanderer 18:15, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
      • I also consider it as an acceptable solution. though I would prefer to have canon and non-canon info in one article, clearly, explicitly, and disambiguously distinguished from each other. Some non-canon topics may not be lengthy enough to justify a new article. - TopAce 18:33, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
        • I don't think new pages are necessary, because non-canon sections in canon page work fine. TopAce already mentioned the Lucifer's article. We have the Non-canon template to prevent confusions, right? Anyway, new page or not, deleting someone else's addition with a mere "I object to putting non-canon stuff onto full canon pages" sound weird to me. Create a Talk Page before making radical changes, it's a matter of common sense and respect. --- Mobius
          • We may even use the NotAllCanon template. --- Mobius
            • When you submitted "your work" to this Wiki you agreed to the fact that it can be modified. - Snail 20:26, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
              • Don't misunderstand the terms on purpose. You can't take them to the letter and you also need to have some common sense. Deleting someone else's work only because of your personal objection is not nice. If a change is radical, create a thread on HLP or create a Talk Page here. In any case do not delete a great many lines unless those lines violate policies and/or terms of conduct. Would you mind if I delete the biography you posted in your user page because it looks like a blog the FreeSpace Wiki doesn't need? I guess you would mind, in that case. --- Mobius
