Even in universe Navboxes have speculation. See the Marvel navbox as an example. [[Endgame (film)]] and [[Captain Marvel]] are not explicitly stated in universe to be related to Marvel Comics Group.

: @[[User:DrWHOCorrieFan|DrWHOCorrieFan]], infoboxes, regardless of content, are universally out-of-universe. They are not written from an in-universe perspective, they make no attempt of the sort. Organisation of in-universe topics does not equal being an in-universe page in of itself. They are literally a bunch of links, pertaining to a topic, in a template. Also, I feel my tone is perfectly calm, thank you very much. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 02:02, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:: All of these examples are being lined up in the templates with the correct licensing. Where is there an example similar to Kelsey's? [[User:DrWHOCorrieFan|DrWHOCorrieFan]] [[User talk:DrWHOCorrieFan|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:05, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::: In the case of real world link organisation, licensing is an arbitrary goalpost that would render the point of navigation templates useless. My general point is, if there is a real world connection, and this can merely be the documentation of in-universe suggestion, then the template should include the link to the given page as it is something that readers searching for information on a given topic would look for. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 02:11, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::: You want us to put Kelsey on a template which states that she was a member of Faction Paradox. No story that Kelsey has ''ever'' appeared in has connected her to Faction Paradox whatsoever. Someone who had no rights to her character and couldn't even state it outright included a character intended to be her as a member of Faction Paradox. It makes no sense to include Kelsey in this category and that would confuse the average reader ''far'' more than not including her.

I thought you were asking for | |||
:Can I have an example of speculation in a navbox? | |||
Asked and answered. Speculation as to whether or not these entities IU are related to another corporation IU, but still in the relevant navbox. If you want to move on to the issue of licensing, I again direct you to [[Talk:Legacies (short story)/Archive 1]] as to why this isn't a concern for the wiki. We care about licensing when it comes to ''in universe'' issues because that's what matters for our validity rules. But we're not discussing adding anything to an in-universe section. As for your complaint just now, I mean, the argument applies equally well to the IU version of Captain Marvel. Sort of an overly broad complaint.

: @[[User:DrWHOCorrieFan|DrWHOCorrieFan]], if you're a Faction Paradox fan, and you're looking for a list of Faction members, including Kelsey on the list as a lot of stories that feature a character who is ostensibly and heavily implied to be Kelsey is something that would be useful. It's not like she'd be getting her own section, she'd be put right next to Ceol. Either [[Ceol]]/[[Kelsey Hooper]] or [[Ceol]] ([[Kelsey Hooper]]) would work and be within the precedent of organisation. I also agree with what @[[User:Najawin|Najawin]] said above. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 02:26, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||

::: I understand you completely, @[[User:DrWHOCorrieFan|DrWHOCorrieFan]], but it seems that you don't quite understand how I'm trying to explain the purpose and precedent of this practice of conjectural inclusive sorting. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 02:36, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
::::We ''understand'' your point, it's just a misunderstanding of wiki policy. There's simply no precedent for what we're discussing here to my knowledge. Speculation is perfectly kosher and normal in navboxes, the issue here is just that we've never associated things in navboxes based on the homeworld treatment afaik. So there can be discussion as to whether this is a good or a bad idea, but licensing issues can't be the concern, that's not something the wiki cares about outside of validity, nor can the concern be that it's speculation. The idea that it would confuse readers is a perfectly legitimate criticism! I'm not sure it's correct, but it's a discussion worth having. Hence why I brought up a discussion on a talk page rather than just adding it. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 02:39, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
I often find that, when flabbergasted, the best move is to step away for a few hours rather than risk a [[T:NPA]] violation. Suggestion borne of years of experience arguing futilely with users and admins 🙄 | |||
My three cents, if I may: | |||
# All navboxes and infoboxes are out-of-universe, certainly. [[Template:Marvel Comics]] is a great example. | |||
# I agree with CorrieFan that [[Kelsey Hooper]] isn't relevant to the navbox, but rights needn't come into it. If you're in the navbox [[Template:Faction Paradox members]], you're looking for pages you can click on that will tell you about the biographies of characters who have experiences as members of Faction Paradox. The page [[Kelsey Hooper]] does not discuss her experience as a member of Faction Paradox; ergo even by the out-of-universe standard, it does not belong in the infobox. [[Ceol]] does, and anyone who clicks on [[Ceol]] will see the behind-the-scenes links to Kelsey Hooper if they wish, and we can leave it at that. | |||
# I want to push back on the idea that any kind of wiki policy could possibly be "encouraging copyright infringement" or "discouraging copyright infringement". Our purpose as a wiki is to cover DWU-related stories and concepts as they exist, in whatever way will best serve DWU fans – ''not'' to issue incentives to creators. The reason we have licensing-related rules is because ages ago we judged that was the best way to serve DWU fans as a wiki, not because enforcing copyright was one of our priorities. If copyright infringement is a problem, that's for licenseholders to enforce and fix, not us; we cover the universe as it is, not as it should be. | |||

:: That's entirely fair. While I have been the biggest advocate for conjectural inclusivity, I can agree that Kelsey may not be the most relevant — sorry if this seems like me changing tune. But in my defence, I did say at the beginning that I wasn't sure she was worth including; expanded upon my original intent, I felt that Ceol did already cover everything to connected Faction Paradox, and linking Kelsey would be perhaps unnecessary repetition. <div style="background-color:#0E234E; border: solid 0.5px gold; display: inline; white-space: nowrap;">[[doctorwho:user:Epsilon the Eternal|<span style="background:#0E234E; color:white"><code>Epsilon</code></span>]][[doctorwho:user talk:Epsilon the Eternal|📯]] [[doctorwho:special:Contributions/Epsilon the Eternal|📂]]</div> 02:59, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:::My suggestion was going to be, if implemented, something like [[Ceol]]([[Kelsey Hooper]]) or [[Auteur]] | [[Astrolabus]]. Certainly putting them together. Obviously, again, to be discussed. I have no issue not doing it if that's the consensus. It was, well, the particular criticisms that I was objecting to rather strongly. (I do think there's some merit to including Astrolabus in an FB navbox next to Auteur, but that's more because I'm that weirdo that thinks the metaphysics/physics is more important than the political viewpoint FP is supposed to have.)

Just want to clarify a small point. General policy is that infoboxes do not allow information that is speculative, conjectural, or in any way disputable or arguable. And incidentally we do not allow HTML or footnotes in them either. (There are probably tons of infoboxes that break these rules, but it's a big wiki and hard to catch every mistake.) I know this discussion is about templates, but I just wanted to make sure a mistake about policy is cleared up.

: @[[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]], I think there may have been some confusion here: we aren't talking about Infoboxes as in the-boxes-that-appear-on-the-top-right-of-pages, but navboxes, the templates that contain lists of links. I have been using "Infobox" synonymously with "avbox", on the basis navboxes use Infobox coding — but they're not the same thing in usage. 03:15, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:: Yeah, [[Tardis:Infoboxes]] is an awesome policy and everyone can do with a refresher, but I don't think [[Template:Faction Paradox members]] falls under its purview. – [[User:NateBumber|n8]] ([[User talk:NateBumber|☎]]) 03:35, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
@[[User:Epsilon the Eternal]] and [[User:NateBumber]], I know that (''as I stated in my post''). I merely wanted to clarify because [[User:Epsilon the Eternal]] has been using the term "infobox" and I wanted to make sure any new users understand the difference. That's part of an admin's job after all. [[User:Shambala108|Shambala108]] [[User talk:Shambala108|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 04:32, 9 September 2022 (UTC) | |||
:(I note that, again, I'm willing to defer to consensus, but my final point for the time being will be that I think the considerations for the Auteur / Astrolabus connection on the navbox are stronger, and if we associate those two I think it makes sense to do so for Ceol / Kelsey. Good for the goose good for the gander sort of thing.) [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 05:06, 9 September 2022 (UTC) |
