- But T:NO RW, surely? If those pages refer to their contents as fictional when the source does not say so, then that conjecture should be removed. After all, we get many stories feature non-DWU elements as actually being real, despite in the real world them beng fictional. There may be an argument about assuming the real world context surround the story and the authorial intent, but many times this information isn't available, and there is a lot of precedent for many things being real.
