Forum:SH:The Future of Non-canon on Wookieepedia

Up until now, I've been adding information on non-canon but licensed subjects, pretty much with abandon. This seems to match with current policy, which allows for articles such as Darth Maul's Party Town, while also allowing the inclusion of non-canon material in articles like soda and solar flare (neither of which were added by me), as well stuff like Voorpee, Form "Zero", Galactic gourmet and Force Wars, all of which were either created by me, or had information added by me.

However, my recent addition to Death Star plans with information from Phineas and Ferb: Star Wars apparently opened up a kettle of fish. The information is marked the same way as any other non-canon information, with clear non-canon tags and placed in the Non-canon Appearances at the bottom. But it's opened up a discussion whether such information really belongs in the main body of the article, or should be relegated to a behind the scenes status, with details only in the main article for the special.

Personally, I think so long as we're allowing the stuff I mentioned above, then there is no reason based on current consensus why the Phineas and Ferb stuff should be listed exactly the same way. But if it's an issue, then I think a discussion is needed regarding exactly to what degree non-canon licensed subjects should be presented on the wiki.
