Forum:Filler History Sections

So recently, I've noticed that we don't have history for the filler sections of a character's history. While I know this is non-canon, and might take up a lot of space on the page, using the hide template will prevent it from taking up all the extra space. The reason for needing this is that we are a wiki for everything one piece related, and leaving out the anime stuff is too biased. Discuss the idea here, and if a poll is not needed, we can go ahead and just start doing it.

An example can be seen on the Momonga page.

This a important feature we as Wiki need. This way we can have the history for events such as Strong World, with out the edit wars. On weather it should be featured on character pages, because it might or might not be cannon. 00:34, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

I was wondering why Momonga had the filler section... Anyways, I don't think we need a filler section. Some other wikis have a filler section and I always disliked that. We have the information in the episode. Even if we use the hide template, it will still show while we edit the page, and it'll make longer such as Luffy's history page (which is already extremely long). I keep thinking of that if we do add the hide template it'll look similar to Fairy Tail Wiki. It's just not needed in my opinion. 03:21, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * *Checks Momonga's page again* Yep, the template does look very similar to Fairy Tail Wiki, except it doesn't say "Click "show" to read the arc plot." 03:25, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Couldn't we add a disclaimer or something before the section explaining that it's non-canon, and only happens in the anime? I don't think any of this information should be excluded since it is info for the character, and while it never happens in the manga, it still happened in another serial, so we must consider that. We don't need a "hide" template, but I don't see too much of a problem with it. I definitely don't think we should exclude filler information if they're already on episode pages because the episode summaries don't usually describe the entire thing, and having the info on the character's page can focus on it more in-depth. I see no reason to exclude non-canon information. 03:28, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

The hide template is there to cut down the page size Nada.

Calu: The episodes do not give information about the character and their filler history. Just brief details. We are a wiki, so all information belongs on the pages. 04:09, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

For the Straw Hats though.. we may have to have a special tab for Filler History, but we can decide on the specifics later. 04:11, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Another example is the Bleach wiki, where I think that they structured it quite well. While I don't think that we really need to do this, it wouldn't hurt the page to add the non-canon info as long as it's hidden by a template (unless it loads slower or something, which I guess I haven't really noticed). 04:15, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Just tab them all if you're going to do it. Putting them all in the same history section is a bad thing because it could lead to terribleness like what the Naruto wikia does and counting everything as canon. SeaTerror (talk) 05:21, December 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Tabbing them would screw up timing and make everything twice as confusing. If we want to have the non-canon crap in the history section, it should all be in the same place. And I'm pretty sure this wiki takes its canon too seriously to degrade into what the Naruto wiki does. 05:25, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah.. we're not gonna ever take the non-canon as canon. Yeah ok then. Tabs won't work I guess. The SH history pages being longer though really shouldn't be a problem though. Ctrl + f. 06:09, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
