If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.
The Manual of Style and POV policy state clearly that in-universe articles should stick to the known facts and hypothesis, speculation, and other No-prize explanations are inappropriate. However, I've seen quite of lot of speculation in articles, and much (not all) of the speculation has been similarly formatted with italics and indentation. Has the consensus on this changed since the help docs were written? Should we be removing speculation or simply formatting it consistently? (Personally, I'm happy with either keeping it to the OOU sections only or keeping it in the main articles but using special formatting so it's clearly identified as speculation. But mixing speculation with the facts willy-nilly without special formatting will make me cry, I tell you, cry!) --Bedawyn 05:18, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
- We've even got a place just for it, The Howling. I know what you mean, though. My usual rule of thumb is, does it add something to the article, or is it just taking up space? If the latter, delete it. Monkey with a Gun 05:49, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
