Template:In-universe rationale

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:In-universe rationale contains a description of one or more fictional subjects written primarily within a fictional universe context.
While this article may fail to meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines on its own, it contains information that has been moved from [[{{{main}}}]] for stylistic reasons by [[{{{talk}}}|consensus of its editors]] on [[{{{date}}}]]. Editors are strongly encouraged to maintain this article in high quality and provide such in-universe information accurately and succinctly, and are recommended to find appropriate secondary sources to establish real-world notability of these subjects.
[edit] Template documentation
This documentation is transcluded from Template:In-universe rationale/doc. (edit | history)

The {{in-universe rationale}} template is designed to work within the context of notability guidelines for fictional subjects. Articles on Wikipedia should be notable which can be difficult to achieve based on solely in-universe information. However, for stylistic reasons, an accurate and concise in-universe description of fictional elements may cause the article for the fictional work to become too long. When this step is performed by consensus of the page editors, adding this template to the article's talk page will help to

  1. Identify the work as primary in-universe
  2. Identify the main article which the sub-article was split from
  3. Remind editors that such in-universe articles are under high scrutiny and should be maintained to Wikipedia's highest standards
  4. Inform editors not involved with the work when and why the split was performed, as to prevent them from tagging the page with a notability or in-universe warning.

[edit] Parameters

There are three required parameters for the template.

main
The name of the article for which the in-universe article was split from. This will be wiki-linked automatically.
talk
The location of where the discussion to split off the page took place. This will be wiki-linked automatically.
date
The date that the split took place or was decided on
