:I think the best method of taking things forward would be to use the "newest" version of the games as the main reference point. So, the Courage Reactor would use the new generic brand pictures and icons etc, but then within the article, mention the versions from previous games, like the NTSC and JP versions of the treasures. I dont see a need to document the same treasure on separate articles, especially since we know have the "most correct" version of each treasure. For JP exclusive treasures, keeping those as a separate article shouldnt cause any headache. Some routes I can see would be having a small section for treasures talking about different "Versions" of the treasure, NTSC, JP, Gamecube, Switch, etc. Another alternative I could see would be doing what the Team Fortress Wiki does with alternative weapons, https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Flame_Thrower where the infobox has numerous buttons to change the appearance of the info box for different iterations. --[[User:Jpmrocks|JPM]] ([[User talk:Jpmrocks|talk]]) 12:53, January 26, 2024 (EST) | :I think the best method of taking things forward would be to use the "newest" version of the games as the main reference point.

::Re: buttons to change infoboxes: these are known as switchables and we've discussed their implementation on the wiki before for other contexts (particularly the ridiculous multi-game infobox stacks on treasure pages and the like). As of the last conversation, the general consensus is that while they are convenient, we should minimise JavaScript wherever possible and switchables require that to operate.

Some people (such as [[User:Flamsey|Flamsey]]) have commented that the way we document Pikipedia's position on the canon is quite strange, with some things documented on the [[Canon]] page and some things documented on [[Pikipedia:Canon policy]]. It is quite an unusual split and I'm not aware of any other game wiki that does things this way. Restructuring these pages to show the information in an easier-to-understand way would be a good idea, but how could this be done? — [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 01:05, December 28, 2023 (EST) | Some people (such as [[User:Flamsey|Flamsey]]) have commented that the way we document Pikipedia's position on the canon is quite strange, with some things documented on the [[Canon]] page and some things documented on [[Pikipedia:Canon policy]].
