Forum:Canon-based articles

Posted by Hawku in the Allowable content thread:
 * ...I was wondering about the articles that are copied from MA; that maybe they shouldn't focus so much detail on events (etc) that happened in the TV series, movies or novels - and instead focus more on their involvement in people's fan fiction/fan films. If a character's or ship's involvment on a TV show or novel is directly relevant to a fan film, then it would make sense to have that detail (depending on how important that detail is to the fan film/fan fiction)... --Hawku 21:02, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

This is something I've been thinking about as well... We've begun a bit of restructuring with articles like Robert April, and I proposed another way on Talk:James T. Kirk (though no one's responded yet...). I'm in agreement with your thoughts, Hawku. For most articles, copying everything that Memory Alpha has (on Phasers or Enterprise-E for example) isn't necessary. If we can start pairing these down, and filling in with fan-content, it would be better...--TimPendragon 21:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
