:::::So, with that cleared up, can you take another stab at the original question you posed, about the use of 'canon' vice 'official' in the policy paragraph? Thanks. --[[User:Revanche|Revanche]] <sup>([[User_talk:Revanche|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Revanche|contribs]])</sup> 21:23, 21 December 2009 (UTC) :::::So, with that cleared up, can you take another stab at the original question you posed, about the use of 'canon' vice 'official' in the policy paragraph?

:I would say that the policy needs to be "BTW articles are considered to discuss '''canonical''' issues by default", using the "Apocrypha" tag to denote Official Materiel that is Not Part of the Canon. IMO, the use of Official and Canon as synonyms is contraindicated.--[[User:PerkinsC|Cameron]] 21:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC) :I would say that the policy needs to be "BTW articles are considered to discuss '''canonical''' issues by default", using the "Apocrypha" tag to denote Official Materiel that is Not Part of the Canon.

− ::The original issue with declaring articles as "canonical" by default is that this essentially violates the "do not seek to decide" aspect. When the policy was reworked, this particular point remained somewhat unresolved. Now that you bring it up again, I think the way to go will be to revert to "canonical" here and tweak the "do not seek to decide" aspect for clarity. Will be back on that later, as this policy likely needs a rewrite if/when the [[Policy talk:Fanon|Fanon Purge]] project goes ahead. [[User:Frabby|Frabby]] 07:54, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
