Let's get some feedback. I think we can refine these articles by setting the standard of have the theories placed completely at the bottom of the pages. Between the References and the Trivia sections. This way whole articles wouldn't be dismissed as 'Theory'. If this is agreed, I'll go through them all and make the changes. Secondly I'd rather people left at least some supporting and opposing info regarding the theory. The Swiftblade page only states a theory with no reason for it. Other pages summarize some reasons and then contradict themselves. I can see this category being an excellent research point for fan theorists; once all of the facts are in one place for each theory.Axiomist (talk) 13:01, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Wow, a lot of page views so far.... Anyway, a lot of the time theories will only regard a certain section of an article rather than the whole subject; it could still work to put the header closer to the bottom of the page, but it would have to be made more specific as to what the theory's about. Also, could you provide some examples of articles with theories which contradict themselves? A lot of theories have evidence supporting and opposing the idea (some tipping closer to one end than others, >cough<). Jimbo Jambo 00:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- The Dark Link article could reverse the info, I don't thing everything below the template is theory, I could be wrong tho. And the Rito article jumps from one point of view to the other back and forth. My own opinion would be to format theories:
Reasons supporting:
Reasons Opposing:
This would give it a cleaner look, and with it's own style, it'd be easier to tell what's supposed to be a section concerning Theories and what just came after it in the articles. I'd rather get a consensus before I go do all of that and it get changed back.Axiomist (talk) 02:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
- Well, mid-article theories are usually placed at the end of the section they're in, right? And the next section's header would signify the end of the theory. Your idea would indeed make it cleaner in any case, but what about articles or sections where there are multiple theories? I don't think we should give each one its own theory header if they come one after the other. Then again, like I said, the next section header would be where the theory section ends, so...that still works out. Jimbo Jambo 07:29, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
- P phew, I just finished reformating the Rito article. Let me know if anyone agrees or disagrees with changing all of them like that. I figure to go ahead and make an example.Axiomist (talk) 23:55, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Looks good, actually. Made a few minor edits, but those had nothing to do with the format. Jimbo Jambo 20:39, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
