I couldn't find a more global place to discuss this, but I want to set up a policy for the handling of "meta-data", by which I mean wiki entries specifically referencing the comic and events that transpired within BH's game. While I appreciate the wealth of knowledge we can store and reference this way, I was under the impression that we were trying to create *the* GenWiki from inside GenWorld (or whatever you want to call it) and have been trying to keep the Roleplaying barrier intact to avoid metagaming. Metaposting? I think you know what I mean.
So anyways, the point of the matter is that we need to develop a policy for how to handle meta-data when it emerges, as it has here in the Clockwork Crawler with a list of MGs minions which, ignoring the minor factual and grammatical errors, is completely inappropriate for a GenGame wiki, as the wiki would not know or care about who MG is or what she's doing in one particular game. Even the Great Five don't have wiki space reserved to catalog each and every game they've played and what class they were and what minions they had (praise the Gods!) so MG definitely have that level of cult following.
What do we want to do with meta-data? Given that this is, in a meta-way, all about BH, MG, and SM, I don't want to "outlaw" such meta-data entirely, but I do want to control it and keep the general wiki untainted by its metaness to maintain the roleplaying illusion that we really are in GenWorld and this really is the GenWiki for the game.
Hopefully all meta-data will be directly related to characters, and therefore we can lump that into their character pages? It makes sense for the list of MGs minions to appear on the MG page (even though it doesn't make sense to have that page in the first place from a strict roleplaying view, but we're gonna have that page just because we're us) and then we don't have to worry about handling meta-data anywhere else. Think that'll work? Any other ideas on what we should do with meta-data?
