Board Thread:Overhaul and Deletion/@comment-758892-20130416082037

A thing that has irked me for some time now is, that with the advent of fan fiction, one is never quite sure, if the odd article you stumble across describes game content or arose from the vivid imagination of some enthusiastic fan. Many's the time I thought: "Disruptor Laser Mk2? What's this? Did I miss something there?" just to find out such a thing doesn't exit in-game.

Mind you, I have nothing against fan fiction and some of the content is really good and imaginative. What I don't like is, that these inventions stand right next to the real in-game articles and can only be recognized for what they are at the second or third glance (Maybe that's the Wikipedia editor in me talking, where unverifiable and unrelated items are deleted faster than you can create them).

I propose therefore, that we move the whole Fan Fiction section to a custom namespace which we could request from the Sysops at Community Central. All fan-made articles would then be prefixed with FanFiction:Pagename (or similar) and could easily be recognized.

The same might be done with the whole "Best Lists" and "Walkthrough" stuff. This could be moved to a separate namespace as well (i think we can have a maximum of three), say GameGuides:Pagename

Opinions?
