This is a page to discuss whether there is a place or not for real-world information in articles on this wiki. It's been discussed in different locations such as a forum thread and a user talk page. The goal is to have the discussion shift here to be more organized.

Thoughts

I feel that personal information's place in this Wiki should be fairly limited, perhaps with just offsite links to wikipedia.org for the material in question. After all, this is a game wiki. Dentist 12:59, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

If i can summarize the discussion page: some real world information is fine, but it has to be marked as such and separated from in-game data.

I was looking around for freely-usable pictures of obscure gems and such, so that people could at least look at the gems they find instead of wondering what the hell peridot is. Provided it's kept short & separate, isn't there a place for stuff like this? That way, people can learn things without confusing the information with in-game stuff and they won't have to think of everything as "just another rock." Uristocrat 21:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
