I've noticed that the non-canon template has been added to the page, but not by an admin. Should it really be classed as non-canon so soon just because its a crossover? --[[User:MrThermomanPreacher|MrThermomanPreacher]] <sup>[[User talk:MrThermomanPreacher|talk to me]]</sup> 13:12, June 3, 2012 (UTC) | I've noticed that the non-canon template has been added to the page, but not by an admin.

:Absolutely not. Certainly not without discussion in the [[Forum:Panopticon|Panopticon]]. Our default position here is that every authorized work is canonical unless there's compelling evidence that it's not. If people want to make an argument that we should treat this crossover differently, they can do so at [[Forum:IDW Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover]] or in a new Forum thread (since the discussion in the existing thread is more about ''how'' to include Star Trek material, not whether to treat it as canonical or not). But the non-canon template should certainly not be added to this page, or to other pages related to this story, until there has been a community discussion resulting in a consensus. | |||
:(By the way, I'll point out that admins don't ''make'' the policies; we just ''enforce'' them. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in the discussions in the Panopticon, whether you're an admin, a registered user, or an unregistered user. Just sign your posts and make clear arguments. The only reason that the discussions tend to be dominated by admins is that it's the most active users who are most likely to be given the admin bit.) —[[User:Josiah Rowe|Josiah Rowe]] <sup>[[User talk:Josiah Rowe|talk to me]]</sup> 05:12, June 4, 2012 (UTC) |
