:Firmly and dedicatedly absolutely not. I do not believe in the crossing of official and fan content unless absolutely necessary to do so or if they are officially recognized. This will only end up confusing the end reader, even if it is in a different namespace and with a warning banner. A fan game community should be its own independent place—or possibly a derivative of https://fanonwiki.org depending on how the staff feel it fits their scope. As you mention as well, there are too many loose ends as to what makes something fit within the scope. What does "the community" mean? Who comprises of that? What makes a particular entry notable versus one that is not? If there truly are a wide amount of custom titles created, then it leads to a possibly infinite scope with no truly objective barrier. Hard Drop documents both official and fan creations and it has on multiple occasions also led to people just bulk documenting their own creations instead of meaningful contribution. That is not something I believe we should moderate and deal with. Let us just redirect to more appropriate fan resources. It might be appropriate to have a page about fan entries as a general discussion point with the names of a few examples just to acknowledge they do exist, but not an exhaustive documentation list. | |||
:Also, just because the articles might be better off now does not actually mean a lot of them are ''good''. There are still many improvements to make, particularly when it comes to the volume of stubs and the presentation of material... | |||
:The same thing as I said when it came to terminology use. WikiBound is not and should not be a documentation of the community of the franchise, it should be the documentation of the official series and what is actually being released. Wikis should not be partial to the fan communities that trail behind them. You wouldn't write about how [[Paula]] is the best character in the series because the wider community thinks so, nor would SmashWiki about why Subspace was actually the best game mode. | |||
:Also, as an aside, SmashWiki documents competitive play because it IS endorsed (in a limited capacity) by Nintendo. They have sponsored specific competitive events prior. They simply cover more in the fan sphere in addition to formal events. The difference is that as a competitively oriented multiplayer game, documentation of the multiplayer events is expected. Competitive play is still a part of the original game/franchise—same goes for Splatoon or ARMS. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 06:54, 30 January 2024 (UTC) | |||
