Trying not to care but could the point of this discussion be summed up as: Magnus, the War Chief, and the Master should be at three separate articles with behind-the-scenes notes indicating how they are connected by authors' intents. This is how the Man with the Rosette is handled. Only two stories refer to this Magnus and neither name him as somebody else. Divided Loyalties implies he is the War Chief but the continuity is so poor it is a bad fit. (Don't worry about Quantum Archangel. It doesn't mention WC or Magnus.) --[[Special:Contributions/65.24.187.122|65.24.187.122]]<sup>[[User talk:65.24.187.122#top|talk to me]]</sup> 04:02, November 11, 2012 (UTC) | Trying not to care but could the point of this discussion be summed up as: Magnus, the War Chief, and the Master should be at three separate articles with behind-the-scenes notes indicating how they are connected by authors' intents.

: Yeah, that sounds about right. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 05:17, November 11, 2012 (UTC) | : Yeah, that sounds about right. [[User:OttselSpy25|OS25]] ([[User Talk:OttselSpy25|talk to me, baby.]]) 05:17, November 11, 2012 (UTC) | ||
::65.24.187.122 pretty much nailed it. Although I said the same thing. Basically, as with the Man with the Rosette, we know what the author's '''intent''' was, but '''nothing''' in-narrative ever states who Magnus is. Thus, Magnus should get his own article, with the behind-the-scenes stuff mentioning the author's intent. As far as the Master and the War Chief, '''again''', there i nothing in-narrative that makes it impossible for them to be the same character. I '''never''' stated that the articles must be merged or anything like that. I merely stated that having someone state on [[The War Games]] article:"MYTH:The War Chief is The Master. Several licensed novels show they are not" is a mistake. They should remain separate articles. But any definite statements about whether they are or aren't the same should be removed. There should however, be "behind-the-scenes" information added.
