Forum:Official Website Vote

Project

This is a Project, a collaboration area and open group of editors dedicated to improving Warriors Wiki's coverage of a particular topic, or to organizing some internal Warriors Wiki process.
For more information on projects, please see the community portal.

Forums: Index > Project Operations > Project Characters > Official Website Vote

This forum will consist of a vote on whether to solidify our sourcing policy to accept or reject information from the Warriors official website, or somewhere between. While the topic was discussed, see here, here, and here, it was never formally voted on whether or not to include information from the website. Hopefully this will cover all the bases.

In order to vote, use {{voteyay}} underneath suporting, {{votenay}} underneath Against, and {{dontvote}} underneath abstain.

Voting will end August 21st. Vec ^{I am Iron Man!} ^{^👾} 03:58, August 11, 2019 (UTC)

Some are explicitly said to be written by the authors. So those should be cited, but anything else, no. - Fox^{僕たちはひとつの光} 04:34,8/11/2019

Only use the articles that the authors are specifically stated to write, and put it in the trivia instead of the actual article.~🐤Qibli77^{Message Wall:Qibli77} 07:08, August 14, 2019 (UTC)

Sounds reasonable to me. I can vote right? --Milliemoo92 Sso (talk) 00:51, August 14, 2019 (UTC)

Do not include information from the articles

Been fighting heavily against this from the start. These articles are largely not written by an author, save for a select few. They contain inaccuracies and things that are not yet or will never be made canon. They contain biased opinion on several topics, and I feel they cannot be considered canon. Trivia statements, if anything. My extended arguments on this can be found in PO’s archives.—spooky ^{is that...}^{a furry cat?!?} 04:03, 8/11/2019

Trivia at best, due to the subjective nature of the comments and the fact these are not usually written by the authors. —Jayce(20:33, 8/13/2019)

It's most likely going to be biased, and seeing as most of these aren't gonna be written by the authors . . . ♥ S t a r _{red _and} _black _♥<23:42, 8/13/2019>

I think they should only be listed in trivia, or cited with a note that the information is from the tree Eggheart!🐥^{A True Warrior} 04:22, August 11, 2019 (UTC)

This includes information such as Gorseclaw as scarred, Cherryfall as lighter/darker patches, etc.

can't cherry pick on what's official and what's not - Fox^{僕たちはひとつの光} 04:34,8/11/2019

For color shades (dark vs. light), for things like scars, but for me, the addition of more colors to a description that would turn a solid into a bicolor counts as a contradiction and not a partial.—spooky ^{is that...}^{a furry cat?!?} 04:48, 8/11/2019

this tree is full of errors Eggheart!🐥^{A True Warrior} 04:22, August 11, 2019 (UTC)

I agree with Eggheart ~🐤Qibli77^{Message Wall:Qibli77}

I feel that it really all depends on the context of the statement. As Egg has said, the tree is full of a lot of errors, all of which should be accounted for. This tree is also updated from time to time, and we should take that into consideration. I also think, that for the most part, these are over-simplified descriptions and really shouldn't be merged with written descriptions unless that is the only thing we have. In general, I think it should be handled on a case-by-case basis, but I'm not sure how that would fly.. so I'm not voting for it or against it at present. —Jayce(20:33, 8/13/2019)

What Jayce said--the tree is constantly changing, and we have info from the books that could very well contradict what's on the tree. ♥ S t a r _{red _and} _black _♥<23:42, 8/13/2019>r ♥ 've always been" data-rte-attribs=" style title=?will i ever be more than i've always been?">_{waving through} 'm tap, tap, tappin on the glass" data-rte-attribs=" style title=?cuz i'm tap, tap, tappin on the glass?">_{a window} <23:42, 8/13/2019>
