Canon material

Ok, am I missing something here? How many episodes have already aired? I think there's only one, and it definitely didn't have all the information posted on this article. What's the source for all these minutiae? ― T hailog 15:25, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure someone has just been adding info based on what happened in the comics, despite the fact that YJ may be very different from the mainstream DC universe. Some stuff comes from interviews, although Greg Weisman has pointed out that they aren't necessarily reliable. So I tend to think we should be phasing out the unsourced elements in the near future. -- Supermorff 15:38, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

I figured. That used to happen in the DCAU Wiki all the time. Sometimes it still does. Editors think they need to fill every gap with comics canon, even if it's inconsistent with the animated universe. That's why we have a conjecture policy. Maybe it should be imported over to here. ― T hailog 15:45, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, or some of it anyway. I don't think we need the same templates, though. A little note in the infobox next to the 'name' should be sufficient. Greg Weisman also suggested some sort of distinction between the canon stuff and non-canon stuff from, e.g. interviews,[1] although I think as long as the interviews are referenced as such then it's not such a huge issue. -- Supermorff 15:53, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

It sounds doable. We have a template for questionable material that highlights the text and has a hover note. Maybe we could use something similar here, but more subtle? ― T hailog 16:06, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

I already made a template here, but it doesn't link anywhere yet since we don't have a policy page about it. -- Supermorff 16:26, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

I see. But that is for unsourced material, I was thinking of a way to make non-canon, sourced, material stand out from regular text(=canon). ― T hailog 16:35, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I gotcha. Yeah, we had a thing like that at GargWiki too: http://gargoyles.dracandros.com/Template:CIT . Makes text bold and blue. -- Supermorff 17:29, December 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, nice. That's what I was going for. We should use that too. What does CIT mean? ― T hailog 17:37, December 5, 2010 (UTC)
