The discontinuity pages are a sort of weird hybrid, halfway between a conversation (like a Forum or Talk page) and an article.
In particular, we don't sign questions and answers, and try to write the answers in an authoritative rather than speculative style.
But, at the same time, we generally don't replace or modify previous answers; instead, we add additional ones.
So, should spelling, grammar, wording, etc. be fixed on these pages, as in articles, or should the answers be left alone to reflect the original poster's intention (so long as they're coherent)? --Falcotron 22:23, May 30, 2010 (UTC)
- They are something of a weird hybrid. But they are theories rather than opinions, so I think they should be edited to at the very least be readable.
- Also any personal opinions shouldn't be there, opinions being for the realms of The Howling to deal with. It's a somewhat vague line but personal opinions (stuff on the Forums and talk pages) are signed, stuff in the discontinuity is theory though not personal. --Tangerineduel 13:26, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
