Dawn Warriors
Out of curiosity, how many players are in your party? If it's not many, would y'all be open to merging with the wiki's party, KHWV in Vulpes?"We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 13:24, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
Blanked out
Everything that's on the page for an unreleased game has to be cited or blanked out, due to their high profile. I understand that it's easy to cite most of those things, as they have been mentioned, but until cites are added they have to be hidden."We're werewolves, not swearwolves."

- No, it doesn't at all.
- It does far more damage for us to have potentially false information than it does for us to not be up-to-the-minute on hot scoops. This is a wiki, not a news site.
- Not all editors have the time or ability to look up whichever cite the person who added the claim was operating on. It takes much more time for them to try and backtrack that person's work than for that person to simply follow the clearly stated policy and cite their sources in the first place.
- There is absolutely nothing preventing someone who has a cite from un-blanking the info and appending that cite.
- The "point of this being a wiki" is to be an encyclopedia. Most high-quality encyclopedias take years to produce, and carefully vet every piece of information. The wiki is already playing fast and loose by not completely locking the article from editing.
- In short, while we don't play hardball about claims that are common knowledge, anything that is in any sense reported like news needs to be cited, end of. If it is not cited, it will be blanked or removed, and doing so is not only allowed by the wiki's policies, but is what the ethos of the wiki strives for."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 03:31, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
- Again, refer to point number 2. I have enough time per day to keep a lid on the wiki, but very little time to do infodives unless it's literally "google the gamefaqs script, search and paste"."We're werewolves, not swearwolves." (KrytenKoro) 12:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
