Forum:CT Archive/Manual of Style:Out of Universe tense

Alright. The Manual of Style does state what tense In-universe articles should be in. However, there is no mention of the required tense for articles that cover Out of Universe material. Therefore, I proffer the following idea for vote by the community:

On the Manual of Style under the section of Usage and Spelling and the subsection of Tense add the following lines:  All Out of universe articles should be written in the tense that best fits the current state of the subject being described.

For example: For out of universe articles covering living persons should be written in a present tense. (Past tense may be used when writing about the living person's past works, achievements, etc.) For out of universe articles covering deceased persons the past tense should be used. For out of universe articles on future products the present tense will be used. And lastly, for out of universe articles on previously released products the present tense should be used.

Like the other current CT I don't think this will effect (Or is it affect?) many articles. It is simply for clarification's sake. Fe Nite (talk) 20:09, June 4, 2013 (UTC)
