Also not a personal favorite, tbh. If anything, it swings too far to the other side of the scale from "fanon" in terms of indicating its reliability. I prefer to leave this for things that are demonstrably ''not'' canon, like the Riven Journals or the Dark Horse comics. --[[User:Alahmnat|Alahmnat]], Grand Master ([[User_talk:Alahmnat|talk]]) 22:08, 4 January 2017 (PST) | |||
===Apocrypha on Main=== | |||
No separate namespace (suggested by Eleri). “Fanon” material would be posted in the Main namespace, with an “Apocrypha” template included at the top to signify that it was non-canon (in which case “Apocrypha” would apply equally to officially-published content and fan material alike). All such content would also be placed in an Apocrypha category. Fan content, official non-canon content, and canon content would all appear in basic search results and page title auto-completes. | |||
