Forum:SH:"Behind the scenes" and the Legends/Canon articles

I don't know if this has been dicussed before -- I had a look, but I couldn't really see anything and got a lot of irrelevant topics -- so apologies if this is already settled. So, currently we have two articles for most things, Canon and Legends. We also have, on most articles, a BTS section. In some cases, this is probably fine enough, with the different versions being different enough that the sections don't end up pointless to each other.

I still think it leads to a lot of redundancy on the whole, though. For instance, the conception of characters (e.g. half of Jabba the Hutt) and a lot of The Clone Wars stuff is going to be the same regardless, and articles like Chiss/Canon are reliant on the EU enough that any behind the scenes for either is going to have to bring up the other by necessity. Plus, there are things like LEGO Star Wars which don't really fit into either continuity -- though admittedly are considered "Legends" by the wiki currently.

Still, it could be argued that a lot of BTS information isn't worth including on the canon/Legends version, but I think from an out-of-universe perspective either is going to be really tied with other.

Assuming there is an issue, I know Jedipedia has this three tabs thing going on: Canon, Legends, Behind the scenes. (See here, except it is in fact in German). That's not an ideal solution, it splits the content across three articles and might make getting to whatever information more difficult than it should be. You could also make a third-"shared" page and substitute it in both pages (e.g. ), but that's simply the same solution in a kind of different format. I don't really have a clean, elegant solution here. – The Millionth One (talk) (contribs) 20:40, July 6, 2015 (UTC)
