Forum:SH Archive/An entirely in-universe wiki?

One of the FIRST things any article should make clear is what fictional work its subject appears in. Yet nearly every single article on this wiki goes on and on describing subjects in a completely in-universe manner, sometimes without EVER explaining its fictional context! Is Kreia from the game Knights of the Old Republic II? Can't find out from her article, except for "Appearances" at the bottom. And if she should ever appear in another medium, like a novel or comic, those appearances will be on the list side by side with the game, so heaven help any user wanting to know where the bulk of the article's story actually CAME from. "Kreia is a major character in the video game Knights of the Old Republic II" should be almost the first sentence.

This kind of metafictional perspective is not present anywhere. And that's particularly maddening for something like Star Wars, where the concepts of the heroes, the Sith, the Emperor, Galactic history, etc., have constantly evolved. I can't go to the Star Wars wiki to find out when the name "Palpatine" was first widely used for the Emperor? To find out how detailed Lucas's original conception of Sith history was? Astounding. Making it even more frustrating is the fact that so many characters have very long fictional histories culled from countless works; we get lots of details about that history, sure, but not a hint about where each piece came from.

I don't come here to read the stories themselves in detail. I come to get INFORMATION about characters and topics; and then maybe I'll go read/view the stories. That is, if the wiki would tell me where to look.
