Fan Fiction/Opinion

This very much depends on the policy of CCP/ISD in regards to "mixed" pages. At the moment some pages can contain both CCP content (NPC corporate entries) and player generated content. A basic template saying, "The following information is conjecture, opinion, or player-produced." may work. I think we should shy away from the term "Fan Fiction", the Caldari langauge fx is not Fan Fiction per se, but rather player-produced content.

I don't think the template should add a category. --Dex Nederland 14:51, 12 June 2009 (GMT)

Then how does a player know this portion of a page is offiical fiction and this portion of a page is just player conjecture. I think the two need to be clearly seperated or we muddy the waters alot?

I don't think I presented what I was suggesting well. I don't think the template should be like Stub, Fiction, RODLC, Cleanup, etc. The template should be more like Warning, Note, or FYI. The template seperates the "official" information from the non-official information, it does not add a category of "Mixed Content" to the page. Over categorization could be a bad thing. --Dex Nederland 15:25, 12 June 2009 (GMT)

Personally, I think the idea of a category sounds great. What would the category be for player-created fiction? "{{Player Fiction Content}}"? I can respect your desire to not 'muddy the waters', so would Player Fiction be allowed its own portal, perhaps organized similarly to Prime Fiction? Or I suppose it might be natural to add it to a general portal for all categories starting with 'Player'...

I just thought of putting it off the main fiction portal "Player Fiction" or something tbh. --CCP Ginger 16:40, 13 June 2009 (GMT)

Sounds good to me! --Blake Rathen 13:48, 19 June 2009 (GMT)
