This subject is, or pertains to, an invalid source, as as such should not be used to write in-universe articles, except those tagged with {{NCmaterial}}]. Click here to see why

When looking at pages about concepts ruled invalid by this wiki, it is often confusing to know why precicely they are "invalid". All I am proposing is to change the link in {{invalid}} from T:VS to a subsection with "Behind the Scenes" called "reasons for invalidty", or, optionally, any link the user wants - for example to a thread recently closed which invalidated it. This has double advantages - if someone wants to validate a source, they can investigate the reasons it was deemed invalid and attempt to disprove them, and if someone wants to keep a source invalid in such a debate, they have those old reasons readily accesible so invaliditing evidence isn't accidently missed.

I think that all relevant threads should go into the "reasons for invalidty" subsection, as well.
