Template talk:NonCanonName

Non-Canon (here we go again)
Alright, I have to say, I object to how this template is worded (at least regarding the articles it has thus far been used in). "Non-canon" is way too strong a term. "Ambiguously canon" would be fine, however. The whole point is, we don't know what is and is not canon. Wheden hasn't said. No one has. We only know Season Eight and After the Fall count because they have said so. A lot, I might add. We need to look at this like the Doctor Who fandom does. Much like Buffy, Doctor Who has three interconnected, canonical TV shows. But also like Buffy, Who has a ton of material (novels, comics, etc) that were published under the label, but haven't been commented on by the show's original creators. Wikipedia's Who disclaimer reads as follows: Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, [the subject's] relationship to the ongoing story of the television series is open to interpretation. Most non-TV Who media has such a tag. We should follow that measure. Frankly, I think this tag should not exist. Since it is only used (thus far) in two articles, we should just add info to the "Behind the scenes" section explaining the circumstances of the naming issue, and leave it at that. If not, it needs to be reworded into a more EU-inclusive version. Din&#39;s Fire 997 02:07, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
