I believe that, if an article has conflitcing lore on its subject, it should list the game lore, and have a trivia point saying that there are contradictions to it. If there will be loads of more contradictions added by C0DA, the same is to happen, but with the addition of a link to a page regarding the contradictions. But why does that have to be necessary? It's not official Bethesda, it doesn't appear in-game....

If I make a fanfiction, why would I put it on the wiki or say it's canon? If my fanfiction is based off of real occurences and makes sense, I still would not say it's canon because of the mere fact that it isn't! Going by the fact that Bethesda allows Kirkbride to write their lore? Going by the fact that this isn't Bethesda? And that if any of Kirkbride's writing have been canon, that they have been put in-game or something along those lines by Bethesda? You do know that Bethesda Devs use MKs lore in the games, right? KotN and Heimskr are the biggest examples. MK was actually asked to write KotNs story and Heimskrs dialogue comes from The Many Headed Talos, which is a text written by MK. MK also helped with Skyrims mainquest, the Dragons, wrote the Commentaries to the Mysterium of Xarxes and many more things. They also accept MKs lore, since CHIM and the Godhead are mentioned in the Black Books (specificly Waking Dreams), and since the fight against Miraak is obviously an Enatiomorph which is MK lore.
