Marlon P. Posted September 30, 2021 Posted September 30, 2021 The Lore Canonization subforum has a long history. It is often used by players to canonize bits of lore that they want to have be "official" for the Aurora server. This is not entirely necessary due to the fact that character backstories, unless they are problematic enough to cause moderation or whitelist teams to look into it, are presumed to be canon. The name change will also accurately reflect the purpose of a submission, due to the fact a submission's purpose is to find its way onto the wiki. This minor clerical edit will provide beneficial clarity and purpose to submissions, and reflect the goal someone should have in writing one. Thank you.
Desven Posted October 1, 2021 Posted October 1, 2021 This should go in policy suggestions. Now, I don't think it's a good idea because it is not a general wiki submission, which encompasses much more than just lore pages and that anyone can already edit. The current name is fine, you canonize lore. Headcanon is not canon lore, and what is submitted as lore canonization apps creates or expands things that are considered too big for the headcanon room to be allowed. Think of Visegrad, for example. It is currently not canon, but imagine if you had to apply for a human whitelist or something with a character from that background. It wouldn't make sense, and I'm sure the human team would consider it too problematic to be normally reviewed as an app instead of, say, a Sol planet with canonical lore.
Marlon P. Posted November 17, 2021 Author Posted November 17, 2021 (edited) Sorry, I wasn't sure if it would be policy or not. But, I agree with Desven. This was not a good suggestion. Please lock and archive. Edited November 17, 2021 by Marlon P.
